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,

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.
