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.
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.”
Thank you to Ken for serving as a faithful companion to my father for the past three years. My father looks forward to the mornings when Ken is with him, particularly because Ken takes the time to read devotions and other spiritual materials. Ken also accompanies my father to fitness and other activities, and I know my father appreciates the company. Ken has been a faithful team member in ensuring that my father has social connections and maintains a level of activity.
Kim is a pleasure to see on weekends in Jones Serenity Circle. She always knows what's going on with Mom and is quick to report it when I visit. As the number of residents continues to grow, I'm sure the demands do also, but you wouldn't know it by Kim's sunny attitude.
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.
