Diane Brest

Family member of a resident at Home-Based Services

Thank you to Ken for serving as a faithful companion to my father for the past three years. My father looks forward to the mornings when Ken is with him, particularly because Ken takes the time to read devotions and other spiritual materials. Ken also accompanies my father to fitness and other activities, and I know my father appreciates the company. Ken has been a faithful team member in ensuring that my father has social connections and maintains a level of activity.

Honoring Mike Allen, a Director of Life Enrichment at The Villas

Mike listened carefully when, as family members, we asked if an improvement could be made to include Sunday afternoon hymns on channel 1851, using sites that provide familiar hymns with music. This has become a very positive time of worship and sing-along for my aging mom, whose Love Language has always been music. I have shared the new program with several folks on my mom’s floor, and they are also enjoying and appreciating Mike's responsive approach to a family’s/resident's request.

The Ridgewood Team Member

I have worked at St. Paul's since June 2006. I was a Universal Worker at The Heritage for three years and then moved up to The Ridgewood as a Personal Care Attendant. I have passion for my job. I enjoy caring for our residents–they are like family to me. I enjoy my co-workers, who are also like family to me. We all work together to get the job done!

Sandy Stainbrook

Resident at The Ridgewood

St. Paul’s has it all! It has a caring, helpful staff, clean and pleasant living quarters, entertainment, and many activities. I have wonderful neighbors who are always willing to share. I truly feel like I am part of a loving family here. I couldn’t ask for a better place to live; it’s absolutely wonderful.

Honoring Teresa Heckman, a Director of Nursing at The Villas

Throughout my father’s three years at The Villas, Teresa has always been willing to hear any concerns that I have had, and more importantly, she acts on them immediately. I genuinely appreciate Teresa's expediency and thoroughness in addressing situations that I bring to her attention. I have full confidence in the care my father receives, as I have personally experienced Teresa’s involvement with not only my father, but also with the staff on the unit.
