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 Jenny Patterson, a CNA

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.

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!

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.
