February is American Heart Month—a perfect time for adults, especially those 55 and older, to take charge of their heart health. Small, meaningful changes like moving more, eating nourishing foods, managing stress, and partnering with your health care provider can make a big difference. A healthier heart means more energy for the moments and people you love. ❤️

Congratulations to our February Employee of the Month, Melanie K.! Melanie has been with us for over three years. She brought our G.O.A.T. award back from the dining room to the nursing team this month. Our residents raved about Melanie this month, highlighting how she treats them with kindness and empathy when talking to them and providing cares. Melanie sets a fantastic standard for how we treat our residents at Benedictine Anoka. Thank you for all that you do!

Celebrating National Activity Professionals Week!
This week, we honor the incredible activity professionals who go Beyond the Ordinary every day to enrich the lives of those living in Benedictine Communities.
Activity professionals do so much more than plan events—they create meaningful experiences that enhance physical, cognitive and emotional well-being. From art and music to games and social gatherings, they ensure every individual feels engaged, valued and connected. Thank you for your dedication to improving quality of life and bringing joy to every moment!

On January 19, the United States pauses to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This year’s focus—building community and fostering unity through nonviolence—calls all to continue his vision of a nation rooted in justice and peace.

We’re excited to share some news here at Benedictine Living Community-Anoka! We’ve partnered with Patriot Angels to help our veteran residents and their spouses access the VA Aid and Attendance benefits they’ve earned.

These benefits can provide crucial financial help for assisted living and personal care. But the application process can be confusing, so Patriot Angels is stepping in to walk families through the claim process step-by-step.

This partnership is more than paperwork — it’s about honoring the lives and legacies of those who served.

When you hear the words “nursing home,” what comes to mind?

For many, it’s an outdated image that doesn’t reflect what senior living looks like today.

At Benedictine, our communities are vibrant, faith-centered places where older adults thrive through meaningful relationships, engaging activities and personalized support that honors independence and dignity.

✨ This January, we’re inviting you to rethink senior living and see what’s possible.
