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.
What we find extraordinary about St. Paul’s is the ability to enjoy life without the burden of caring for the property. From the lawn and gardens to the public areas, everything is beautifully maintained. There is an abundance of social activities to choose from, and the office and life enrichment staff are dedicated to enhancing our lives with opportunities to enjoy our senior years. Additionally, there are various opportunities to volunteer and bless others in many ways. I’m so thankful that God led us from Central PA to our home at The Colony at St. Paul’s.
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!
As a family, we appreciate Sheila and her caring ways. She listens attentively and shows genuine concern in difficult situations such as Mom’s recent hospitalizations. Thanks to you, Sheila, for the way you combine professionalism and loving concern.”
