Jordan Sanchez, RN

After more than 20 years in long-term care, I have experienced a wide range of facilities, each with its own strengths and challenges, but none compare to the one I am part of today. St. Paul’s truly surpasses all others through its unwavering commitment to compassion, dignity, and excellence in care. The sense of community here—among residents, families, and staff alike—creates an environment where people are genuinely valued and respected. It is not just a place of care, but a place of pride, purpose, and belonging, and I am honored to be associated with a facility that sets such a high standard.

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.

St. Paul’s has provided me with a supportive and caring environment where I have been able to touch the lives of more people than I could have ever imagined. It is a place where my skill set has met a need and gifted to me a rewarding career where I have the chance to make a positive impact on the lives of our residents, staff and community. I can only hope to give as much back to St. Paul’s as they have given to me.

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!
