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 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.
I feel that I have used my work/life experiences to provide the best possible care to the clients I serve. And I continue to develop positive professional relationships with our management team and my coworkers.
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!
Our Mother, Violet was a resident at The Villas from March 2016 until her passing on January 16, 2026. Our sister, Beverly has also been a resident since June 2024. Both have received excellent care from staff members, but Jenny is one who stands out. I've never seen her in a bad mood, always with a smile on her face. She exudes a caring, compassionate, loving way with residents and family members alike. She goes above and beyond what one might expect from a staff member. Jenny seems to meet each person where they are, joking with them, hugging them and is genuinely invested in each of her residents. Any care facility should be thankful for people like Jenny and my family is graetful she is part of St Paul's.
From January through April, residents at The Heritage took part in Heritage in Motion — a team-based wellness challenge that boosted energy, built community, and made a measurable impact on health and safety across the community.
