Robert Timms, Presbyterian Communities of South Carolina employee, receives the 2022 Caritas Award

Robert Timms 2023 Caritas Award

The 2022 Caritas Award was presented to Robert Timms, director of facilities services at The Foothills Retirement Community, a Presbyterian Communities of South Carolina life-plan community in Easley, South Carolina.  The award was presented at the PAHSA Fall Gathering, October 16, 2022 at the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver, Colo.

Lynn O’Connor, PAHSA board chair, who led the award ceremony explained, “This award recognizes an individual or group serving among PAHSA’s members who exemplify the Christian virtue to love God and neighbor.” 

The award is supported by the generosity of Hamlin Capital Advisors, a PAHSA sponsor whose representatives presented Robert with a heart-shaped crystal trophy. Along with the trophy,  PAHSA will give a donation to the Presbyterian Communities of South Carolina Foundation in Robert’s honor.

Robert was nominated by the executive director of The Foothills, Leslie Anzalone, who was also present at the ceremony. Leslie wrote in her nomination, “Robert has a servant heart and it is displayed daily in his loving care to our residents, and in the way he maintains our building and grounds as the Director of Facility Services. He leads by example in making our Values part of his daily routine ensuring that our mission and faith are honored each day.”

Leslie also shared that Robert formerly served as a Baptist pastor in a local congregation. He often supports the work of the chaplain at The Foothills, by responding to residents, families and staff when the chaplain is unavailable. She wrote, “[The Foothills] is blessed to have Robert and we are thankful for his dedication and commitment to our ministry. Our community is better because of his leadership.” 

Accepting the award, Robert said, “I am so honored. I never imagined receiving such an award.” He plans to display the trophy at The Foothills where all can see it. “I didn’t win this on my own. A lot of people – my coworkers – are part of this. The [award] really belongs to our whole community.”

The other nominees for the 2022 Caritas Award were:
> 
Judith Borie, Presbyterian Senior Living
> Paty Mabeus, Presbyterian Communities of South Carolina
> 
Dana Olson, Ingleside
> Ware Village Auxilliary, Presbyterian Senior Living

Nominations for the 2023 Caritas Award will open next spring.
