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 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 LeeAnn Wester, a Med Tech at The Heritage
LeeAnn has welcomed me with open arms since day one. She is the most patient and kind person I have met so far in my journey at St. Paul's. She never hesitates to give a helping hand with any questions that I have. She was been very helpful with every aspect of my training journey. I look forward to continuing to work by her side going forward.
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.
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.
