Testimonials
Here's what some of our residents are saying...

“The staff is very helpful and compassionate. They have created a very friendly environment. I like the dining because the hall is bright and cheerful and the servers are very friendly. I like my apartment because it is new and very clean. Also, I like having a separate bedroom and the general layout. It is also nice to look out my window and have a nice view.”

“It’s like home here; peaceful and quiet. I love the chapel; it is just beautiful. I don’t have to leave home to go to church.”

“I would say the number one thing about St. Joseph Village in taking care of my dad is the teamwork. I don’t feel like I have just put him somewhere and it’s all up to me to care for him. We work together. If there are issues, they are brought to my attention immediately, and I do the same. We work together to come to a solution so my dad receives the care he needs. And that’s vital, especially because when he was at other places there were things that would happen that could’ve been handled in a better manner. This is just a blessing to have a group of people who truly care about his mental and physical health and provide the best possible environment for him.”

“What I like about the life-enrichment staff is that they fulfill emotional needs with activities for happiness and fun."

“Please show my e-mail to everyone. Forward it to your superior at my request. The quality of care you provide is excellent. I feel very qualified to make this statement. My background in retail stores is from 1978 to 2000. I have hired and supervised hundreds of people. My responsibilities included recruiting, hiring and training managers, sales associates and visual employees. Dedicated, quality employees are so essential to any organization. Good managers set high standards and lead by example. They inspire their staffs to achieve their potential and exceed expectations. Managers have the most difficult job of all. But I don’t have to tell you that. You live it.”
