Testimonials

I became a happy content resident at Heritage of Edina in August of 2002 thanks to the graciousness of Maria and Wayne Field, and the staff who made me feel immediately at home. We have many diverse activities that are fun for everyone such as: card games, bean bag toss, exercises (easy, to a little more advanced), bowling, darts, movies on Saturdays, volunteers who come to entertain us, and the list goes on. There is something for everyone.

I work as the manager of the “Handi Shop” on the first floor in the Rembrandt building. This is a small shop that is open from 12:30-1:30 every day and is staffed by residents seven days a week.

Most importantly I have met a lot of wonderful people who have become my close friends. We have named ourselves the Rembrandt Rascals, and we have a good life, for which I am thankful. That’s how my life has been rewarded.

Respectfully,

Judy, “5 year happy resident”

The reason I like it here is that this is my home! I LOVE IT! Sure the majority of the people that live here are older, but I can learn from them. Heritage lets you be yourself, within reason that is. I also like it here because they let me have my pet bird Peppi with me, whom I adore. This is also the very first place I found that has interesting things for me to do. You get the feeling that the staff is interested in you, and care about you. As long as I can have God and Peppi in my life here, I’m a very happy camper.

I moved here about a year ago, and I like living here because of the staff. Everybody helps me with open arms. They happily go out of their way to help no matter what they are doing. The food is good too, I really like the soups. I also work in the gardens during the summer, I really enjoy being able to help. I enjoy taking pictures of the beautiful flowers in the gardens, I get to do lots of things I enjoy.

“Why do I like living here at Heritage of Edina?”, was the question asked of me.Good care and interaction are given to us from our aids and all the staff. Our kitchen staff is also very dedicated to filling our needs. The décor is very ornate and ever so interesting—especially the artwork. The carved furniture and paintings fascinate me.

Before and since my retirement I have donated many hours to volunteer work. I have also been dedicated to my church activities.

After my strokes, I soon became wheel chair bound. I found myself unable to keep up with all of the art work that I had enjoyed through the years. However, I have found a new venue for my passions. Being here at Heritage of Edina I treasure the hours and days I spend making cards, writing poetry and my memoirs, and I continue to enjoy reading.

There are many friendly people who reside here, so I have made some new and wonderful friends to chat with. I thoroughly enjoy my apartment and my time alone.

My faith in God and his blessings will keep me happy. I also have a very dear daughter and relatives who give me great support.
