EP #22: Community, Care, And Senior Joy
If you think aging has to mean slowing down and staying home, this conversation will change your mind. We sit down with the team from Sunrise Senior Center and share how a thriving partnership with Comfort Keepers keeps older adults moving, laughing, learning, and—most importantly—connected. From $5 scratch-made lunches to Zumba, aqua fitness, and grief support, you’ll hear how a city-run center builds a full, affordable pathway to social connection and better health.
We walk through the real signs of isolation—quiet voices, loss of appetite, fatigue, and low motivation—and how families can respond with patience and respect for independence. Danielle and Wayne explain how their calendar is designed to lower friction: accessible pricing, diverse classes, transportation options, and a front desk team ready to guide first-timers. Then we dig into one member’s turning point: after a public fall, staff’s calm care helped him return, embrace exercise and healthier cooking, and rebuild confidence week by week.
Care doesn’t stop at the door. Comfort Keepers adds a virtual, audio-based safety system that detects potential falls and unusual health patterns, triggering timely check-ins without extra cost. That blend of in-home support and community engagement catches issues earlier, eases family worries, and helps seniors stay independent. You’ll come away with concrete ideas for spotting loneliness, encouraging participation without pressure, and using local resources to make every day richer.

Welcome to the Comfort Keepers Davy Podcast, where we elevate the human spirit. Here's your host, Christy Grule.
SPEAKER_04:Well, hello, hello, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of the Comfort Keepers Davy Podcast. In case you didn't notice, I am not Christy Grule, but I am Jeremy Wolf, and I'm joined by Kamar. Kamar, how are you doing, my man?
SPEAKER_02:I've been, I'm good, doing great, doing great.
SPEAKER_04:Yes, yes. And I I know, Kamar, I know you guys do a lot of at Comfort Keepers, you are very much so integrated with the communities that you serve, and you have a lot of wonderful partnerships. So I thought it would be fitting today to have some of those partners on to talk a little bit about what they do and how comfort keepers collaborates with them. So today we're joined by Sunrise Senior Center, and we have Wayne Skirvin and Danielle Santiago with us. Wayne, Danielle, thanks for joining us. Our pleasure. Yes, of course. So excited to get into this. Why don't we start with some basics? Uh, can you tell our listeners a little bit about the Sunrise Senior Center?
SPEAKER_03:All right, so the Sunrise Senior Center is a city of Sunrise. So we are the official senior center for the city of Sunrise. We are 55 and up, and we are an active senior center. So individuals come in. We have members who are residents of sunrise and non-residents of sunrise, and we have a lot of different activities that they could partake in on a daily basis. We're open Monday through Saturdays, and we have from exercise, um, wood carving, crafting, um, dancing, all the different programs that you could think of. Computers. We have a game room where the gentlemen hang out and play some billiards. Uh, just a lot of fun stuff that we do here. And so it's super active, and there's a one-stop shop for everyone's need. Say that one more time, a one-stop shop. It's a one-stop shop for whatever you need.
SPEAKER_04:A one-stop shop for one-stop shop. I love it. I love it. I just think it's so important. Like the the older I get, the more I realize how important community is. And I think for for those that are aging and getting older, if you kind of retreat from society and you unplug yourself, uh, it can get very lonely out there and it can you can get depressed. And it's so wonderful that we have all these resources available. And I think a lot of people aren't really aware that these things are out there for them to take advantage of. Kamar, how did you end up partnering up with Sunrise Senior Centers? Talk a little bit about how that relationship began and um, you know, what where you see it going in the future.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, so our partnership began long before I even joined uh Comfort Keepers, but it's always a goal of ours to uh outreach in the community to partner with um other senior organizations within our um territory or community. And the Sunrise Senior Center was one of those places that we have been partnering with. Uh, as Wayne said, they do a lot a lot of activities, and it's a great thing just seeing seniors dancing, um, staying active after retirement. It's it's it's such a great thing, and we enjoy doing activities with them, sponsoring these activities and uh different events that they have. So it's been an ongoing partnership, long established, and it's been going great so far.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. So I want to go to you, Danielle. Can you talk a little bit about your role at Sunrise Senior Centers? What do you what do you do over there for them?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, so I'm the recreation programmer and Wayne is the recreation supervisor. So we work hand in hand. We also have two full-timers under us. Um, so we kind of do all of the programs for the seniors as well as the special events. We do have a social worker on site, so we help her out with things, which actually Comfort Keepers helps us with that as well. We do Thanksgiving baskets for the community for families in need. Um, but basically we run all activities for the seniors, and a lot of the seniors will come in and not thinking that they're gonna have anything that interests them, but all of that, there's literally something for everyone. Um, like Wayne said, there's an array of different classes, but we pretty much help bring those classes to the center as well as bringing fresh new ideas, you know, that maybe other centers don't offer.
SPEAKER_04:In what ways have you guys seen over over the years kind of working with comfort keepers? How have you seen this collaboration directly improve the lives of seniors that you work with?
SPEAKER_03:All right, so one of the things that um I would say is we talked about a level of interaction that that comfort keepers have with our with our members. So when they partner with the different events and activities, I'll say that personality and being great human beings, something that's hard to learn. You are or you're not. And so with comfort keepers and with Kamara, with Patrice, um, with Christy, with what we've noticed is when they're around our seniors, the seniors really light up with them. They say they gravitate towards them uh because there's a genuine kindness that they find. And so when someone cares about you, it shows. So we don't promote well, we have sponsors, but we don't say, hey, you had to sign up for this program or you have to do this with a sponsor. They do it by choice, and when they like you, they will reach out to you. And and Kamara, Patrice, they've seen that where people gravitate towards them because of who they are and how they show their uh how they give back to the seniors.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, absolutely. That's one of the things I noticed early on when I started working with with Christy um over at Comfort Keepers. She she just has this. I don't know, I'm sure you guys know her pretty well. I'd imagine, with all the time working with them, she just has this magnanimous, this wonderful energy and personality. The culture of Comfort Keepers is that you just you just confirmed that with uh what you said. It's really really wonderful the work that they're doing um in these local communities. I and I wanted to ask, what are some of the most, I mean, I I can imagine that that this field that you're in can be very, very rewarding for you. What are some of the most rewarding parts of the jobs that you guys do today to day?
SPEAKER_01:I think some of the best things that we do is like we have volunteers as well that we're very close with and we work hand in hand. Like, for example, one of our volunteers went on the trip today as a group leader, but most of them are like our family. Um, and I think it's so rewarding because a lot of them don't have family here or their family's up north and they're alone. And we are pretty much their safe space and they love to be here. We love them. So it's like a mutual thing that we really just enjoy their company and they enjoy ours.
SPEAKER_03:Absolutely. It's when um when you see someone, you give them a smile, they give you a hug, and they tell you that you're the best part of their day. Yeah, it makes a difference because they don't get it at home, like Danielle said. Their families aren't here, so we are an extension of that family, and we try to make sure that it's felt. Uh, the more genuine you are, the more they know it. And so that's the most rewarding thing is to see the folks that were by themselves or kind of like recluse, and now they're just outgoing, they know you, they're here all the time, they're making new friends, and just see the transformation. It's always the best thing. 100%.
SPEAKER_04:What about some of the challenges that you face? Obviously, this work, uh, while rewarding, it does come with um quite many challenges as many things do. What are some of the things, the obstacles that you face, and how do you address those?
SPEAKER_01:Well, you know, I think the seniors they have a lot of wisdom and they don't put up with a lot. So they um it can be a little difficult sometimes, but you know what? They we try our best to give them what they want. And I think the city of Sunrise also is very big on customer service. And you know, maybe they didn't sign up for this program, but we give them their little snack and it just makes them happy, you know, something so small, but they can be a little demanding, fun.
SPEAKER_03:Um it's like um it's like middle school on steroids in some cases with some. But it's a it's a great thing to try to navigate. And one of the challenges that we have is we have dynamic roles, and so we it's ever changing, ever evolving, but we try to make sure that and people want our times. So sometimes we're busy and behind the scenes it's harder to then be front-facing, but we try our best to be that face that they see because they need it, they want it. So it's like trying to multitask and do everything behind the scenes, but still be present for them. It's it could be challenging, but it's rewarding. Um, and just to see how they appreciate us is a reward.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, but if it wasn't challenging, if it wasn't challenging, it wouldn't be rewarding, right?
SPEAKER_04:It wouldn't be rewarding. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sorry, Danielle, you were saying?
SPEAKER_01:No, it's just it's sometimes it is hard to juggle because we work for the city and we have different different events and stuff besides being here at the senior center. So it's hard to try to juggle that and then give them the time, but we always try to make time for them because it's they're really the reason why we're doing this, you know.
SPEAKER_04:For sure. Now, do you you mentioned working for the city? What's your background? How did you get into this line of work? Um, Danielle, what what was the what did you do? It's it's funny.
SPEAKER_01:So the city of Sunrise is a great place to work, I must say, and I'm not being biased, but both Wayne and I actually started um during summer camp as seasonals, and um we kind of just worked our way up. I I've been here since I was 15, so almost like 18 years now.
SPEAKER_03:Um Wayne different decades.
SPEAKER_01:Wayne started I started at 16, and so and he he actually left for some time and did some corporate America stuff, and then you know, they always come back.
SPEAKER_03:Had to come home. So I had to come home. City of Sunrise is a great place to be. Senior Center is a great place to be as well. So yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Nice. Kamar, does comfort keepers do so like was there anything in particular about the city of Sunrise that gravitated that that gravitated you towards them? Or do you do a lot of this work with lots of different cities? And and how how did you start or how did you come up with the idea of collaborating with local um local cities to help seniors?
SPEAKER_02:Well, or I mean, as you know, our primary market or clientele is the elderly. So we're looking to collab to collaborate with any organizations that are supporting the elderly. And we do collaborate with other senior centers, um, like the Sunrise Senior Center, but for some reason they are a bit different. Um, Danielle, Wayne, the whole team there. I've never gone there once and seen an unhappy employee. Like everyone there is always happy, always in good spirits. It's very active on any given day you're going. There are seniors there dancing, and it's great seeing seniors um in that space because oftentimes in or field, we're seeing we're getting calls when the seniors are down and out, they need help in home, which is great too. But it's good seeing the other side of things that you know you're seeing seniors that are active, they're dancing, they're doing, they're playing pool, they're they're showing you that when you're retired or you're old or you're getting old, um, you can still be active and still have a fun life. So it's great seeing these seniors um in that light, seeing them dressed up for their prom, their senior prom. It's absolutely amazing. It is, it is, uh it's always a good time sponsoring events there, seeing them. And whenever we get clients that are in or close enough to the city of Sunrise or um the senior center, we always uh advise them or or refer the senior center to them. And recently, a client of ours, we've been pushing her um to sign up with this uh the senior center, and she she did, and she now absolutely loves it. Um, she is quite young, she's 63 and unfortunately suffering from um dementia, but she goes there. She recently started a few weeks ago and absolutely loves it. So um it's a no-brainer. And once you meet Wayne, uh Danielle, and the rest of the team there, you will be hooked, I'm telling you. They're really, really nice people.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, it does sound like a match made in heaven. And I love, I just love the idea of having having these connections rooted with the community. Yeah, comfort keepers coming into the home, it's great, but to have all these additional resources available and outlets for folks to kind of connect with really brings a great deal of meaning and purpose to people's lives. Um, and I know that, you know, like I talked about a little earlier, you know, as we get older, we often get isolated. Um what are some of the signs that you look for when you see people disconnecting and you see people detaching a little bit? What are some things to take note of? I'm trying to speak to those out there that maybe have aging parents that are starting to be isolated and they don't have any help, right? And they haven't yet plugged in two senior senators and they don't know about comfort keepers, right? And they're starting to see these signs. Like what are some things that you'd look for and some advice that you could give to folks out there like that?
SPEAKER_02:Um, it's it's a lot of things. It it varies from person to person, but a lot of the common signs that we see is them being less vocal, is them complaining about feeling um you know more tired than than they usually are. Um and this often happens with a lot of our clients that their families are living out of state and they don't see them a lot. That is a common thing that we see. Um, a lot of our clients, they're living alone, um, their family's out of state, they're not seeing them quite often. So they get depressed very easily. And um these are some of the signs that we look forward, um, look to, I should say. Them not speaking a lot, them not eating a lot, their energy is low, um, they're just not in the mood to do a lot of things. And sometimes they just blame it on, oh, I'm feeling a little bit tired, or I didn't sleep well last night. But it all stems to them being really just depressed and and lonely and um fearful, you know, fearful. Um, just thinking about all the ailments they're going through, their families not being with them, them living alone, something possibly happening in the night um when nobody's there with them. So these are a lot of the signs that we we look to. That's why we always encourage uh them doing activities if they're physically able to, and if they're not, we still try to keep them engaged, um, you know, cognitively and stimulate them cognitively, and um just try to keep them happy, lift their spirits. That's what we're there for, for sure.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, it really is a slippery slope when you start to withdraw yourself, right? It's like this this loop that gets this self-feeding loop. And the more you detach, the more depressed you get, and the more depressed you get, the more you want to detach, and it just keeps going. And it's amazing how plugging in and getting a sense getting into a community and and and being around like-minded people raises your spirits so tremendously.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, for sure, for sure. And as Wayne said, a lot of these seniors they're set in their ways. Um, they like things how they like them. So once they get used to a certain routine or doing things or not going out or just staying home, it's very hard for you to get them outside of their comfort zone or doing things that you know will benefit them. But it just takes consistent, um, you know, consistent being consistent with them and just encouraging them and being patient with them, actually. Actually being patient with them, just um encouraging them to get active or get out or talk some more or or just do fun things. Um, and eventually they will. Eventually they will, you know, if if if if they see it's coming from a place of love and concern and not trying to have them feel like they're a child again and having them doing what you want them to do, um, because they're very they're very serious about holding on to their independence and not feeling like they're being bossed around.
SPEAKER_03:So we try to well, one one of the things that we're blessed with, um the different programs that we have. We either have a bunch of volunteer instructors, and so the volunteer instructors they are capable and knowledgeable, being able not only do the program that they're doing, but also cater to the well-being and the needs that the seniors have. So the ability to branch out, do new stuff. We have a less talk group where they come in, they talk about any social topic. At one point, we try to just say, hey, you can't talk about this, but they're gonna talk about whatever they feel like talking about. So just do it responsibly, and um, they have a great time. But just to be in a space with other adults, other like-minded individuals, and just to be able to talk about things. We have a bereavement group, so folks who are going through loss together, sharing how they feel. And it started out where they came in, they did the group, they left. Now they're like a family. Whatever events that we have going on, they show up together. Yeah, and so they have they formulated new families in the do like a potluck. Yeah, they they eat together, they every program they do that we have, they sign up together. Yeah, it's really good.
SPEAKER_04:Danielle, I want to talk a little bit more about uh the programs that you guys offer. We've alluded to a lot of the fun things that you do. What are what are some of the things that seniors can expect to find there? I'd imagine there's exercise programs. You mentioned the potluck, there's different run down the list. Uh you know, I want to catch people for anybody that's listening, maybe something interests somebody that doesn't interest somebody else. Yeah, of course.
SPEAKER_01:So we have a calendar that we send out every two months. It's a lengthy calendar. So I like to tell people when they first come to kind of look through it and see what interests them, like what day works for them, what time. But we have art classes, we have computer classes, we have classes to learn English because we do have a divide a diverse group of people here in Sunrise. So health lectures. That's one of the main things that um I was also gonna add to Wayne's uh comment about bereavement groups and stuff like that, or health lectures. And it touches base on different things like mental health and stuff like that that will help these seniors get through those hard hard times. Um, so then we also have exercise classes such as Zumba, Tai Chi, Aqua Fitness, um, some other things we do is a cooking class, a ballroom dancing class, which is like Latin dance based. Um listen, he has the best moves here at the Choice. And then Kamar is second best. So I kind of am in charge too that we do a different special event each month. Um, it's either a social that we do during the day that we provide lunch and then some type of entertainment, whether it's a DJ or a band, and it's only$8 to come if you're a member. Our membership rates, just so you know, are for Sunrise residents, it's$15 to join for the year. If you're a non-resident, it's$25 to join from the year.
SPEAKER_04:Basically free, essentially. Very, very affordable. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Um, and then so it just you there's a lot of programs that you just can't be. We do a lunch bunch that we pretty much make the food from scratch. Our director is a great cook. She went to culinary school, so she helps us out into making the food, and it's the best meal for five bucks that you can get from scratch. So it's just something for them to come and mingle. We have line dancing, that they all come and do line dancing classes with our instructor that's a volunteer. So there's something for everyone. We have a book club, it just the list goes on and on of what we offer.
SPEAKER_04:It's it's incredible. Uh, it really is a no-brainer, right? Like if you're out there and you're retired and you're just sitting around all day, don't like you gotta get out there and get plugged into these resources. But it it's just it's it's gotta be life-changing for people. I can only imagine. I've not been plugged in. I mean, I'm all I'm only 46. I'm not uh not quite a senior yet, but when I am, I'm glad that I'm aware that all this is out there now because I think there's a lot of people that don't really understand or don't, or they're just not in the know and they don't realize that these resources are available to them and their families.
SPEAKER_01:We also provide transportation too for a lot of the seniors. So a lot of them still drive. Um, but if they live in sunrise, we have a bus transportation route that picks them up in the older community, which is Sunrise Lakes, and then we also can pick them up at their home if they call a day ahead. So we try our best to get them here any way possible. And you know, a lot of them, you know, give some pushback, but their kids, let's say their kids do live here and they know that they're home all day and they're at work, you know, their kids are at work, so they kind of give them that little push to come, and usually they're a little hesitant, but once they start, they end up loving it. I've heard I've seen and heard many stories of a lot of the seniors that come and they just really enjoy it and they tell us like this saved my life just coming to the center.
SPEAKER_04:Good stuff. Is there I want to ask you guys over the senior center, is there a is there a resident story? Something that really captures what the center is all about. Does something come to mind?
SPEAKER_01:Resident story.
SPEAKER_04:Not resident, but one of your not residents. Members, I should say.
SPEAKER_01:I mean maybe Ozelle.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, yes. So we have um one of our one of our members, he is on the heavier side. Um, and he was trying to make sure health was something that he regained because he started going downhill at one point. Hard for him to maneuver, hard for him to move around. We had an event called Walk in the Park. And at one of the specific parks, we have a lot of different vendors' activities. We encourage them to walk around the park. And as they walk around, there are different activities that they can do uh along that path. So we try to do a new park each year to introduce our seniors to it. So during this one event, he was walking and actually went down. His knees gave out uh under his weight and he went down. And there were some younger seasonal staff that we had, and I was trying to get him up, and I saw this one kid just hop a fence, came over, but collectively we were there, got him up, and he shared that that moment that he went down. He felt embarrassed, but we made him feel confident in that moment. We took away the embarrassment and just showed care, and he went from being um uh morbidly obese to working out, doing our aqua fitness class, now doing different exercise classes, taking the cooking class, taking the cooking class to have healthier options to know how to eat properly. And he said that one event that could have turned out to be the most embarrassing thing where he could have been more recluse in after that, he to he changed it and started coming out more. And he's here every week doing three programs exercising, stretch classes, stretch classes, all of it.
SPEAKER_01:Yes, he takes full advantage now, and we're we're just so proud of him, and he tells us all the time. And he's like, Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:So really touching stuff, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, it really is. It's it's it's one of those situations where we realize that we work at a senior center when we have some of the more tragic scenarios, and it's like, uh it's one of the hardest things. You know, the folks that you come to love and know, and now they're not here anymore, and it makes it real. But then the ones that you could consistently and continuously impact, you're like you double down even more because you want to make sure that you're still a part of their lives.
SPEAKER_04:Absolutely. So you mentioned volunteers, you have a lot of volunteers working there. For anyone out there listening that does want to get connected, that maybe does want to act as a volunteer and show their support. What's the best way for them to do that?
SPEAKER_01:So they would go on the city website. They still have to apply as if they're almost applying for a job, but it's a lot easier. We can always they can always come to our center and we can help them fill out that application. So it's on the upper right-hand corner of sunrisefl.gov. You click on jobs, and then you're gonna click on volunteer application and you fill out the application, and then we'll usually bring you in for an interview, kind of see what you like, your availability, and we go from there.
SPEAKER_03:Correct. So if it's uh someone that's looking to volunteer to teach a program, um, volunteer to be part of our front desk staff, or just volunteer to um do anything in general, we try to find out what your gifts are, what your needs are, um, and your skill sets, and we'll go from there.
SPEAKER_04:Excellent. And for anyone out there listening that is interested in in coming by and taking part and becoming a member, let's say somebody out there that that doesn't drive, maybe they're all alone, they don't have family here. Can they just reach out, pick up the phone, call you guys, you'll get them the bus information. What's the best inform the best way for them to connect and and and get plugged in and start start coming to see you guys?
SPEAKER_03:So if they are a city of Sunrise resident, definitely um they could reach out, contact us. I'd probably say try to have someone take you here first so you get all the information that you would need. And then from there, we'll see. Um, our we do a medical transport need, and uh we'll see what you need as far as transportation goes from a pickup for medical um appointments and so forth, and we'll try to fit you in and what the next steps are. Uh we don't have anything online yet for our application, so everything is still in person, but we would encourage them to have somebody bring them here if they can come here themselves. If they can drive, drive here, and we'll go through our front desk staff is phenomenal, and our whole team will be able to help you through, give you a tour of the facility, just talk through and see what it is that best fits your need. So, everything that we do is not for everyone, but there's something for everyone. So you'll find something that you'd like to do.
SPEAKER_04:Well, I for one can safely say that I'm glad that we had this conversation today. My father is approaching 80, he'll be 80 next year, I believe. And he lives in sunrise, and he's he's pretty much just kind of like sitting in his house all day, like he's completely disconnected. Like, I don't know if he'd be willing to even go and check it out, but I'm gonna make it a mission of myself to go over to him and bring him down to your facility because I do want to see what you have going on there, and I want him to see what's available, and I want him to kind of plug himself in and and you know, he's never been one to be plugged into the community like that, but maybe you know it could give him a renewed sense of purpose. So I'm pretty excited about it.
SPEAKER_01:And the ladies need more time there.
SPEAKER_02:I was gonna say because if he does, I I I know a few scenes there looking for uh uh you know, looking for a guy, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, they're they're hanging out on the hunt, they're on the hunt.
SPEAKER_04:I almost want to call him right now and put him on speaker and say, hey Nudge, you want to go? But I'm I'm actually a little bit concerned that he might say something inappropriate because he has a inappropriate time. So I'm gonna I'm gonna hold off on that. I don't want to do some awkward situations, but I think that could be fun. Oh goodness. All right, cool guys. Uh this was a lot of fun. Anybody have anything else they'd like to add before we wrap up here?
SPEAKER_02:Well, before we wrap up, um, a new initiative that we have um with providing more care for our seniors, because a lot of the client or our seniors that we care for are financially unable to, let's say, pay for 24-hour care. You know, we see them four hours here, four hours there, maybe a couple of days per week. So what we now have is a virtual system that we uh we stay connected with them 24 hours outside of the times that we're providing care for them. And it's all encompassed in their um, they're not up charge or charge anymore. So whatever they're paying for these four or five hours per week that we're seeing them, um they essentially stay connected. This is a small pod that um we plug in the three most visited areas of their home. And it's an audio based system. So if they were to fall, it would trigger an alert on our end. Um, again, a lot of them are living by themselves. Um, they fall and they're not close to a phone to call for help. Once they fall, it triggers an alert on our end. If they're coughing more than normal, um, it you know, gives us an alert that hey, this may be an operation. respiratory issue. So it's a preventative um you know system. And also if something were to happen, it also gives us an alert. This morning, for example, I got an alert that a client of ours um uh might have felt well last night at 1130 and before going to bed I just gave her a call to ensure that she was okay and she told me that everything was fine. And so this is what we have it's it's a virtual system that we are standard part of work here now that we are giving to all our our clients. So and it's been making a great difference.
