Since moving here, we have enjoyed the lifestyle, the friendly atmosphere, the volunteer opportunities, the activities, the beauty of the campus and its facilities, and, most of all, the peace of mind that comes with knowing we have a home for the rest of our lives.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
