“Bloom where you’re planted.”
This was one of Johnsie’s favorite sayings—a beautiful reflection of how she lived her life and the love she had for this community.
In her memory, we are creating a butterfly garden at Stanly Adult Care Center, Inc.—a peaceful space with a bench, commemorative sign, and walkway where families can pause, reflect, and honor their journey.
We invite you to help us bring this tribute to life.
Goal: $3,000 by September 1

🛠️ Project Update: Why We’re Not Open Yet (But Getting Closer!) 🛠️
We’ve had many kind and curious questions about when Stanly Adult Care Center, Inc. will open—and we appreciate your continued interest and support!
Here’s where we are:
✅ The major renovation work is complete!
We’re currently waiting on a couple of small final projects that were delayed due to material availability. Once those are finished, we can receive our certificate of substantial completion—the final step before we can apply for state certification.
🏡 The center is now furnished, with the exception of our commercial kitchen, the final setup of the Healthcare Coordinator room, and stocking food and medications—which will be completed closer to opening day to meet freshness and regulatory standards.
📋 We are hiring key staff needed to complete our certification process, but we’ve had to delay hiring additional direct care and support roles until we receive our certification and can establish revenue sources. Unfortunately, we can’t begin billing or activate contracts without a certification number—but we’re doing everything possible now to prepare those agreements in advance for a smooth and timely launch.
📅 While we can’t yet provide an official opening date—because we are still working through the final steps of certification—we can tell you that we have scheduled our Grand Opening Ribbon-Cutting for Saturday, August 16 at 10:00 AM, and we are so excited to welcome the community into our space!
Behind the scenes, our team continues working and diligently building strong systems, preparing programming, and ensuring that when we do open, we’ll be ready to serve this community with excellence.
We know the waiting is hard—but we’re almost there. Thank you for standing with us as we move from preparation to opening. 💚

💙 Celebrating Strength in Every Stage of Life

As June comes to a close, we’re proud to have highlighted Men’s Health Month and the importance of staying strong — physically, emotionally, and socially — throughout every chapter of life.

At Stanly Adult Care Center, Inc., we’re building a space where men can:

-Stay connected through meaningful relationships
-Engage in purposeful activities that support physical and cognitive health
-Access the support they need in a respectful, dignified environment

Because real strength is knowing when to care — and when to let others care for you.

“Bloom where you're planted.”
This simple saying was one of Johnsie’s favorites—and it captures the spirit of everything she stood for: grace, strength, and a deep love for her community.
As we continue raising funds for the butterfly garden at Stanly Adult Care Center, Inc., we hold this message close. The garden will not only honor her memory but also serve as a peaceful place for caregivers and families—right here, where healing and hope are planted every day.
Goal: $3,000 by September 1
Raised so far: $1,225.00
