🌿A Day at Selah Ruth’s Sanctuary

Faith • Rest • Renewal in Care

At Selah Ruth’s Sanctuary, each day is designed to bring comfort, peace, and connection — not just for our guests, but for their cherished companions as well.
We are proud to be a pet-friendly respite home, allowing approved primary pets to stay or visit during their loved one’s time of rest.

☀️ Morning — Gentle Beginnings

6:30 AM – 8:00 AM
Wake up peacefully to soft music and friendly smiles. Our staff provide gentle assistance with bathing, dressing, and morning routines.

For our pet guests, this is walk-and-breakfast time too — fresh air, gentle stretches, and a little tail-wagging joy to start the day.

8:00 AM – 9:00 AM
Enjoy a nourishing breakfast served family-style, followed by a short morning prayer or devotional. Pets relax nearby or enjoy a cozy resting space in the lounge.

9:00 AM – 10:00 AM
Start the day with gentle movement: chair yoga, stretching, or a short walk outside — pet companions are welcome to join on-leash for some sunshine and companionship.

🌸 Midday — Connection & Companionship

10:00 AM – 11:30 AM
Creative hour brings color and joy! Guests may choose from:
🎨 Painting, crafting, or puzzles
🎵 Music and memory games
🌿 Gardening or light porch time
🐾 Pet social hour – gentle playtime and bonding moments for guests with pets

11:45 AM – 12:30 PM
Lunch is served family-style — wholesome, balanced, and filled with laughter. Pets relax nearby or enjoy their own treat or quiet break in our designated comfort corner.

12:30 PM – 2:00 PM
Quiet rest period — soft music, scripture reading, or naptime. Pets may rest comfortably beside their owner or in their cozy assigned space.

🌼 Afternoon — Comfort & Care

2:00 PM – 3:30 PM
Afternoon snack and refreshment time. Then choose from our activity options:

• Technology help for seniors (checking messages, video calls, online records)

• Scripture journaling or small group devotion

• Gentle pet walk or brush time in the garden area

3:30 PM – 5:00 PM
Relaxed fellowship and reflection — residents can enjoy conversation, light reading, or time spent with their furry friends. Families arriving for pickup are always welcome to share this peaceful time together.

🌅 Evening — Peaceful Closure

5:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Dinner is served — comforting meals shared in community.
Guests who stay for dinner may enjoy a relaxed evening devotional afterward while pets unwind or rest nearby.

6:00 PM – 7:30 PM
Evening devotionals, music, or a short group reflection close the day in peace. Guests may also take one last evening walk with their pets before bedtime.

8:00 PM onward
Full-time residents begin their evening wind-down:

• Hygiene assistance and pajamas

• A cup of tea or warm milk

• A soft bedtime prayer and quiet rest

Pets settle in for the night in their designated cozy spot or beside their owner if approved.
