The Randomist Return to Morningside Ministries

Morningside Ministries would like to recognize and congratulate our friends, The Randomist for taking home the FIRST Lego League (FLL) Champion’s Award at the Alamo Regional Convention. These brilliant young adults designed a cane that, using gyro sphere technology, stands on it’s own. This device, if achievable, would possess a momentous practicality for aging adults. By the way, did I fail to mention that they are only thirteen?

The Randomist, a team of San Antonio based middle school students, has competed in the FLL tournament for the past two years. FIRST, and acronym for “For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology,” is an international non-profit public charity that strives to spark an interest in science and technology in young students, inspiring them to become leaders in the field and promoting “well-rounded life capabilities, including self-confidence, communication and leadership.” More than 20,000 teams from more than 60 countries take part in the FLL competition, building and programming self-directed robots.

In addition to winning the Champion’s Award at the Alamo Regional Convention this year, The Randomist qualified their Standalone Cane in a separate, but reated competition; the Global Innovation Award (http://fllinnovation.firstlegoleague.org/). Their invention was selected from hundreds of other groups across the world as semifinalist in a completion that could propel them straight to the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

In November, residents of Morningside Ministries at The Meadows were able to assist The Randomist in their research for a unique and innovative technology for seniors. We came together and brainstormed what inventions would have a practical impact in the lives of other adults. Charged with the energy of innovation and the will to do good for their elders, The Randomist concluded that improving mobility was a universal trend for seniors.

Why our residents love us
My parents moved into their Meadows independent living (atrium) apartment almost 2 years ago, from another city. Their (and our) experience here has exceeded our highest hopes. From the compassionate, friendly, helpful staff to the delicious meals, activities, their apartment, amenities, and welcoming residents, we could not have imagined or found a better place for them to be for this season of life! We 5 "kids" are so thankful that they are happy, safe, comfortable, busy, and have made wonderful new friends, both residents and staff. Thank you, MM! It's definitely worth checking out for YOUR parents, too. (Or yourself!)

I learned about Morningside Ministries at Menger Springs when two of my neighbors moved there. Another friend and I frequently drove from our home in Kerrville to visit and play bridge with them. I don't think we ever left that one of us didn't say " I'd like to live here someday." When I realized that "someday" was fast approaching I started visiting retirement communities in several places, including my former home in Colorado where I still had close friends. None of them were as attractive physically as Morningside and none offered as much in the way of programs and services. I chose Morningside for three basic reasons: security, convenience and the sense of a caring community. I have the security of knowing that I will always be cared for, the convenience of having all my needs met in one place and the joy of living in a community where everyone, residents and staff, are considered as family.

My wife and I have been residents in the Independent Living Menger House Apartments at Morningside Ministries at Menger Springs for four years. We chose Menger Springs because of its Hill Country location, excellent and beautiful facilities along with their commitment to personal care and to truly care for those who have cared for so many others by a Not For Profit Christian Corporation. We knew that regardless of what challenges or changes we might meet in the days and years ahead, Menger Springs would be able to provide the care for us. My wife feels so secure here and has the option of participating in so many activities, pursue individual endeavors or to feel free to remain in our apartment. We are so pleased to be residents at Morningside Ministries Menger Springs in beautiful Boerne! I highly recommend it!
