Being an employee at Sayre Christian Village, I have the privilege of serving the elderly in purposeful and meaningful ways. At our core, Sayre's employees reflect our mission to display compassion in all that we do. There truly isn't a better way to serve than being part of the team at Sayre :)
It is truly a privilege to serve this ministry! The godly care that is given and shown to the residents campus wide is heartwarming! I choose to donate to this ministry because they truly live out the mission of providing Hope, Housing and Healthcare in everyway to everyone, everyday!
Sayre Christian Village is a facility in which excellent care is provided to the residents. Quality Care leads to happy, healthier residents.. From the nurses to the support team, everyone is incredibly caring, professional, and attentive. They genuinely take the time to get to know each resident and understand their individual needs. The level of empathy and compassion shown by the caregivers is something that really stands out to me.
I have had the privilege of working with many organizations, but Sayre Christian Village stands out as a truly special place. Their commitment to providing faith-based, compassionate care for seniors is not just a mission statement—it’s a way of life.
What makes Sayre Christian Village remarkable is the deep sense of community and relationships that permeates every aspect of their work. From independent living to assisted care and rehabilitation services, the team at Sayre fosters an environment where residents are not just cared for, but cherished. The bonds formed between residents, caregivers, volunteers, and donors create a family-like atmosphere that ensures no one feels alone.
Their dedication to enriching lives through faith and service is evident in everything they do. Whether it’s through engaging activities, spiritual enrichment, or personalized care, Sayre Christian Village prioritizes the well-being of every individual. This is a place where relationships are nurtured, stories are shared, and legacies are honored.
I truly enjoy working for Sayre Christian Village. All of the staff members treat our residents with respect and compassion, no matter which department they are working. Teamwork is very important to how well a facility runs, and I witness the daily collaboration between departments.
Serving all members of the surrounding area is very important to me. I am happy that Sayre serves people from all economic backgrounds. Sayre can be the answer for so many when it comes to looking for quality long term, or rehabilitative, care for their loved one.
It's hard to put into words how great this place is and how deeply appreciative I am for this organization. When I fist came on as a summer intern, I was able to learn so much thanks to the great leadership here. I have been treated nothing short of great, and I have fallen in love with the culture and the mission of this place. Everyone here is so genuine, kind, and I can tell they love the job they do here. This is a place filled with great people, and their passion for our mission is unlike anywhere I have seen. There is such a strong connection between the "villagers" here and the staff that support them every day. I have gotten to know some of these residents well, and some have become friends that I look forward to seeing every time I come in. And I am one of many that share this relationship with our residents. This place is so great to not only look for as a resident, but as a staff member. It's rewarding to be here, and that is something that I can say for sure! A great team of people.
My grandparents lived at Sayre Christian Village for many years and later I volunteered with the Activities Department in the healthcare center. I had such wonderful experiences as a family member and volunteer that when I saw a job posted in the Activities Department at Friendship Towers I jumped at the chance to work here. I feel very fortunate to now be an employee where I can return the loving care my grandparents received to our residents.
I truly do not have the words to express how in love with Sayre Christian Village I am. Over a year ago I applied to the Activities team on a gut feeling it was meant for me, and now I am so grateful every day for the opportunity to serve the residents and my community. I fell in love with the residents and my job immediately, but who wouldn't?! I get to be with them every day, bring them joy when they need it most, and listen to their many many stories and life lessons they have and want to tell! My coworkers are so supportive in both my professional and personal life as well, which is just amazing and not something you get just anywhere. I truly believe this is the place for me.
The residents and employees are like family! It makes every day coming to work enjoyable! The work we do is so rewarding! Amy, RN 400 Unit Manager
My first day at Sayre Christian Village I was impressed with the way all the staff interacted with the residents. Today, 7 1/2 years later, I am still impressed with, not only the interactions, but the quality of care, respect, kindness, gentleness, dignity and love all staff have for the residents but also how the residents interact and care about the staff. I feel like most days I am just spending time with my friends or family. The buildings are all kept very clean and updated.
I heard of Sayre Christian Village many years ago; working in the healthcare sector for over 45 years; you heard of the great as well as the not-so-great issues surrounding a facility. Bro. Wayne Smith always spoke highly of Sayre and how much he respected and treasured his relationship with the facility. I had the honor and pleasure of meeting him on several occasions while at the facility. My daughter-in law's mother was here, and my coming to visit on multiple occasions during her rehabilitation recover from a total hip/knee surgery after a vehicle accident was a wonderful experience every time. The staff was friendly, attentive, encouraging, and supportive during the times my family needed them the most. Which left my daughter-in law a bit less stress having to leave her mama behind each day, but she was always assured she was being left in great hands. But it wasn't until I walked into the facility again years later for a job interview, that I truly felt at peace and true presence of God dwelling here. The moment you walk into the healthcare center's main door you are taken back by the beauty, the marksmanship of the designers, the respect and warmth you are given from the moment you arrive at the reception desk, throughout the interview process, and the grand tour. The friendliness of the staff (even though I was a new stranger in their presence), the outstanding cleanliness and pride that the housekeeping and maintenance departments take in their job, the resident's trays from the dietary department looked and smelled very appealing. The management team at "all" levels were very accepting, encouraging, and attentive from day one and remains true today. People have asked what if you didn't get the job/position you applied for at Sayre would you still say all those great things? And the answer is yes every time. Sayre Christian Village is an out-standing, faith-based community with the goal of providing sustainable, personable, and affordable housing for seniors. They offer hope and compassion to residents and families especially when some families feel all hope is gone. They offer dignity, respect, security, laughter, prayer, devotion, and a sense of belonging (your never alone here). I could go on and on singing praises regarding Sayre Christian Village. But above all of that I can honestly say I am honored to be an employee at Sayre Christian Village Healthcare Center and that I can praise God every day for allowing me the greatest opportunity to be a part of a great mission, experience, and team ever!!!
Sayre Christian Village has been a wonderful place to work. Throughout all of the changes over the years, one thing that has remained constant is the dedication and compassion that staff continue to show while serving the residents here at Sayre. It was a blessing for my mom to be able to live at Sayre until she passed in 2020. The quality care the staff provided her was above and beyond. They were not only caregivers but family to her/us. Sayre provided her care allowing her the best quality of life possible. She was always proud to say she was a resident here at Sayre.
I enjoy working at Sayre Christian Village. It is a Christian community dedicated to the health and well being of older adults. It is a privilege to get to know the residents and their loved ones in a home like atmosphere and to see them enjoying their life and watching friendships grow. We have a good staff that works well together and can support one another. I travel a further distance to work here and it is worth it. It is wonderful to watch Sayre grow and all the community support for their mission.
I choose to give and work at Sayre Christian Village because of our mission to provide hope, housing and healthcare to older adults. It is beyond rewarding to be an extension of family for our residents and provide Godly care to our residents.
Sayre Christian Village is a wonderful, faith-based community with the goal of providing sustainable, personable, and affordable housing for seniors. I love Sayre Christian Village because the heartbeat of the organization is to serve those who have served and contributed so much already, valuing older adults as integral members of society worthy of respect and dignity.
Sayre Christian Village is a joy-filled, wholistic, and vibrant community for older adults. I get the privilege to work at Sayre and am so grateful for the opportunity to serve people here every day! Sayre redefines what it means to thrive in this stage of life by advocating for their residents, providing excellent care, and always seeking to better the environment to be able to reach more people. Sayre is a gift to so many and is worth investing in!
Sayre Christian Village is such an amazing campus! Love that Sayre offers several different care options for your loved ones, depending on the care required. The staff is so helpful and caring, they really mean it when they say its not a job its a mission!!!
From the moment you step through their doors, you are enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and genuine care. Every staff member, from the administrators to the nurses and volunteers, radiates a passion for enriching the lives of their residents. Their dedication goes beyond mere duty; it is a heartfelt calling that is palpable in every interaction and decision made. What truly sets Sayre Christian Village apart is their profound love for their mission. It is not merely a place where seniors reside; it is a vibrant community where each individual is cherished and respected. The staff's devotion to ensuring the comfort, happiness, and dignity of every resident is evident in the personalized care plans, engaging activities, and nurturing environment they provide. Residents at Sayre Christian Village are not just recipients of care; they are part of a loving family. The bonds that form between staff and residents are genuine and deep-rooted, fostering a sense of belonging and security that is invaluable in the twilight years. Whether it's celebrating birthdays, organizing outings, or simply sharing stories over a cup of tea, every interaction reflects a commitment to enhancing quality of life and promoting wellbeing.
Every time I walk in to one of Sayre Christian Village's four facilities on its Lexington campus, I am repeatedly impressed. Staff in Independent Living, Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing, Memory Care and Short-Term Rehab are welcoming, kind and attentive to the individuals for whom they provide care. The Residents are a pure joy and so deeply appreciate the care they are receiving. Attending resident activities is so much fun! Watching their eyes light up and smiles is heartwarming. I've had family members in other facilities and my experience between those and Sayre is abundantly clear for me. The next time I need care for my parent or loved one, Sayre will be my first call.
I have worked for Sayre Christian Village on & off since 2015. I choose Sayre because of their compassionate care for older adults. I have seen this firsthand as they allowed me to work remotely & take care of my husband who had cancer and passed away in 2016. The outpouring from this facility, staff and even the resident's families was such a blessing during that time. SCV is dedicated to its resident's & staff like no other!
I have the privilege of serving the elderly population daily! I chose to donate to SCV because the mission is a true ministry. Each resident we serve has a special story to share. Through our ministry we get the privilege of helping share those stories and allowing them to live their best possible life!
Not only do I work here, I also donate because I believe in Sayre and their mission to serve a most deserving population of people!
Working with seniors is the best! SCV provides a variety of services for seniors from different socio-economic backgrounds with a variety of needs. It is so nice for residents to be able to move within the campus as their needs change. Love to see the team serving seniors.
I choose to donate to Sayre Christian Village because I KNOW my donation is going to the residents. The amount of love poured into each and every resident at Sayre Christian Village is beyond amazing and you can tell that the staff truly love their residents and their job. The smiles on the residents' faces show how happy, cared for, safe, blessed, and truly loved they feel. The staff truly do treat each resident like their own grandma or grandpa and it shows 100%
My grandmother was in a home in Lexington and while things started out well, it got steadily worse as time went by. I learned about Sayre Christian Village through another board member. When I first toured Sayre, I was amazed and surprised at the quality of care and cleanliness of the facility. I knew this was a place I wanted to be a part of. I felt called to Sayre because I did not want to see others in the same situation as my grandmother. It truly is a wonderful facility!

My time volunteering around Sayre Christian Village and others has shown me that senior facilities are not all created equal. I have been around various other facilities and I can safely say the 'feel' while I am in Sayre is much better. I am certain that feeling can be directly attributed to the staff which then speaks volumes of the leaders they interact with daily. A wonderful facility with happy employees equals a great place for residents of Sayre Christian Villiage.
I donate to Sayre Christian Village because I love seeing the staff taking pride in caring for the residents here on campus! I want to do my part by donating so that Sayre can continue providing hope, housing and healthcare to our senior adults throughout the community.
I joined the Sayre community back in August 2022 and I fall more and more in love with this community every day. Not only with the staff but with the residents as well. This place truly makes you smile from the inside out. Seeing staff work with residents to achieve their goals, witnessing the team helping families navigate tough decisions, and being part of a team that wants to spread our mission to the community is why I donate and will continue to donate to Sayre Christian Village.
Sayre Christian Village is a bright spot in the senior living industry in the Bluegrass region of Kentucky. Without them, many folks would have nowhere to go. My mom lives on the campus, and I give because I want to make sure that a place like Sayre Christian Village is around for a LONG TIME. It’s such a needed resource for this local community and the staff genuinely cares about their mission. I encourage everyone who can donate.
Sayre Christian Village truly lives by their mission statement, and I also love hearing the staff say, “One campus, one mission”. I have seen firsthand how much the staff cares for their residents and treats them as if they are family. They go above and beyond taking care of their basic needs. Being able to witness the smiles on the residents faces makes me feel comfortable leaving a loved one there. If you have a loved one needing care, I recommend Sayre in a heartbeat – there’s a reason why they have won awards for the Herald Leader Readers’ Choice between 2017-2021.
Sayre Christian Village is my mother's home and has been for several years now. I support SCV because I've seen first hand the consitant quality care in all areas of her life. My mother is very social and enjoys having contact with so many other residents. She loves eating in the cafe with her friends, attending special activites and church services. The staff go above and beyond to know her personally and they make safety and her well being the top priority. I'm proud to tell people my mother's home is SCV! Thanks SCV for all you do to put your residents first and providing care and so many wonderful memories and opportunities.
I donate to Sayre because I see the time, care, and intentional love that each of the staff members pour into the residents. I have seen how residents light up and get excited at all the offerings that Sayre creates.
Sayre Christian Village is a great place! My time here I have met some wonderful people including residents, family members and co workers. Our staff really takes pride in making sure our residents are happy, healthy and living in a safe environment.
My mother lived at Sayre Christian Village from February 2009 until January 19, 2011 when she passed away. The care and compassion that the staff shared with my mom (and me!) during her time there was tremendous. As they are the only non-profit retirement community in our area, I continue to make donations to Sayre because they are "good people" and I want others to be able to experience that same care and compassion that we received.
I choose Sayre because of their compassionate care for older adults. I have seen this firsthand as they have cared for my grandmother for the last 6 years. It is such a relief for family members to know that not only is their loved one being cared for, but that they are surrounded by staff who are mission focused and passionate about what they do. Even in the midst of a pandemic, Sayre has put the safety of the residents at the forefront while finding creative ways to continue to bring joy and meaning to their daily lives. A wonderful facility with wonderful staff!
I choose to give to Sayre because I believe in their mission. It is evident from their social media engagement that they are putting their all into the care of their residents. I see the way they are changing the conversation on aging and that is a mission I will happily get behind.
I have worked with the adult population in a healthcare setting for 10+ years. Sayre Christian Village strives to give the best care to the aging population and it shows. They go above and beyond for all their residents and staff.
I give to Sayre Christian Village because I have seen first-hand the impact they make in the lives of the aging in the Bluegrass. This company is driven by mission, not profit, and through their work it shows. There are very few organizations who prioritizes the safety, health, and well-being the way Sayre Christian Village does.
I support Sayre Christian Village because I believe our senior community deserves to have a safe, affordable housing accessible to them. I love that Sayre puts the needs of their residents first and has given them a home where they are encouraged to continue to make memories, learn and have new experiences in their senior years.
I give to Sayre Christian Village because I believe they go above and beyond to provide Godly-care for older adults. They have been serving the community for over 35 years and have a great reputation for providing healthcare and residential living options for seniors. Without them, I don't know what many families would do!
