Creating Caring Communities

Community is at the heart of CCC. Teams accomplish this goal through weekly community events aimed at bringing residents together, individual welcome v... isits upon move in and being available to assist residents in times of special need. Our goal is to create a community where people know and care for one another, a place to belong. Creating Caring Communities was birthed out of the vision of our Past Board President, Doug Hignell. As past Chairman of the Board of The Hignell Companies, Doug saw the overwhelming need to build authentic community for the residents of Hignell managed apartment complexes. His desire is to impact communities that would transform individuals spiritually, emotionally and physically. The Caring Community Program is a powerful strategy for this kind of community outreach. The heart of the strategy is to place Caring Community Teams as an ambassador into an apartment community. These Teams help to intentionally bring a sense of community to their complex. Caring Community Teams quickly become the relational hub of their community. This relationship and community position are powerful platforms for meeting deeper needs.

It is our belief that as Caring Community Teams build genuine relationship with residents that key connections will be made and lives will be richer for having lived in one of our complexes.Read More
