Pilgrim Manor is a retirement community located in Grand Rapids that houses elderly people in all different stages of life. There is an assisted living section and a wing for patients with dementia.
Rose Glatz, 90, who lives at Pilgrim Manor also volunteers at the home as well. Glatz is the volunteer coordinator and also is heavily involved with the chapel services and activities that take place at the home.
Being 90 years old and a lover of jewelry, Glatz has a very unique collection of pieces. Both of these rings are over 70 years old; one was given to her upon graduating high school, the other an heirloom from a relative.
While working as a volunteer, Glatz has many duties. Choosing songs and preparing the music for chapel stories is among them.
Glatz has her own office at the MAnor and she is expected to keep up with it on her own. One duty she has is changing the ink cartridges in her printer to keep it in working condition. This is important because having a working printer in her office saves her the long walk with her walker to use to receptionist's printer.
To advertise for the chapel services that she helps to plan, Glatz makes fliers and spends time walking all over the facility posting them up on bulletin boards.
The Pilgrim Manor chimes choir, which Glatz is an active member of, practices weekly and performs at various chapel services throughout the year.
"We aren't very good, but we have a lot of fun." Glatz says of the Pilgrim Singers, the choir at Pilgrim Manor. At practice one week, Glatz is helping a friend who tends to lose her place in the music while singing.
"It's a really nice group of people that show up," Glatz said describing a few residents that meet for a weekly Bible study. The group is currently studying through the book of Leviticus.
Glatz is enjoying a good laugh with another resident and a few students from Cornerstone University. Glatz organized a weekly dominos and SkipBo playing game time.
Despite her active lifestyle, Glatz is starting to feel as if her age is catching up with her. She has decided to start phasing out from all of her office and paperwork. Her main focus will be the chapel and she said she will get to pursue more leisurely activities, "I really love to knit so I will have more time for that."
