St. Benedict's Health Center is blessed with a wide variety of family members, friends, and community members who offer a generous amount of support. We are able to continually pursue new projects to enhance the facility. Our goal is to continue finding ways to make St. Benedict's more like home and continue improving quality of life for our residents. Projects in the past have included minor changes, such as new drapes in rooms, all the way to large projects, such as creating more private rooms and room renovations.

We would like to thank all of those who contribute to St. Benedict's. Whether you've contributed in the past, the present, or you plan to in the future, it makes a significant difference in the lives of our residents. We thank you, and they thank you.
 

A few of the changes that have been made with contributions:

  2009

  • Renovation of the Dining Room. New flooring, paint, lighting, window treatments, and more have given the Dining Room a wonderful new look. Soon, it will also have a new name to celebrate the revitalized space.

   2008

  • Complete renovation of the Therapy Gym. It is now twice its previous size, with a wonderful new appearance. The room now has new flooring, new wall-coverings, new cabinetry, and ample storage space. It also features a new private space for speech therapy.
  • Creation of a new Restorative Dining Room. The new dining room, named Tabga Cafe (after the location where Jesus performed the miracle of the loaves and fish), also has new flooring, wall-coverings, cabinetry, and a flat-screen TV. The room also has an operable wall, so that it can be used as two seperate spaces when needed.

  2007

  • Generations Daycare. After many renovations, a property owned by St. Benedict's to the south of the Living Room was opened as a child daycare. Children from the daycare come over to visit their "grandpals" at least once a week, which is enjoyed very much by the children and residents alike.
  • Resident Lift Aids. Newer equipment contributes to greater resident safety. It also helps staff by making transfers simpler and therefore more safe for them as well.

  2006

  • Stained Glass Windows. Created by liturgical artist David J. Hetland, these beautiful stained glass windows make an incredible addition to St. Benedict's Chapel. Mr. Hetland believed that liturgical art enhances worship, interpreting the wonder and struggles of faith.
