Brenda Michael

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!

Cindy Sarko

Family member of a resident at The Villas

From the very first week my mom was there, Terri has shown compassion and caring to mom, all with a dose of humor thrown in there as well! My mom, Lila, lights up when Terri is with her. It is such a comfort to me–as a daughter–that my mom is loved that way, especially when I can not be there! She shows genuine compassion, comfort, respect and creative work-arounds in difficult situations. My mom’s quality of life is definitely better because of Terri. What a sweetheart!

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.

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.
