Benedictine Living Community-Bismarck

04/06/2026

We would like to congratulate our Jeff Bahm Guardian Angel Recipient, John Leingang. We started this award in memory of a dear friend and coworker, Jeff Bahm.

He has been with Benedictine-Bismarck for over a year and while he hasn't been with us long, he has made a huge impact on everyone in our community, from residents to associates and the families he has met along the way.

John is known for the compassion and care he shows to every resident he serves. He consistently goes above and beyond—through both small acts of kindness and meaningful gestures—to ensure each resident feels seen, valued, and supported. From staying late to ensuring our residents feel safe and comfortable when attending appointments, John goes the extra mile every day.

The compassion and dedication he extends to residents and their families exemplify our Core Values. Congratulations, John.

The recipients of this award received Jeff's parking spot #9, a vest in honor of him wearing one every day, a guardian angel pin, and a bonus.

Springtime, bright colors, and joyful connections—Easter at Benedictine Bismarck was one to remember! 🌷🥚💛

Our Assisted Living residents had an egg-stra special time dyeing Easter eggs alongside our friends from the YMCA kids program.

Intergenerational activities like these are so important—they bring people together in a unique way, spark conversation, build friendships, and remind us all that joy can be found at any age ❤️

Thank you to our YMCA partners for helping us create such a memorable day full of color, connection, and community!

Easter reminds us that Christ’s love brings new life and hope to all generations. As a faith based organization dedicated to caring for seniors, we give thanks for the privilege of serving with compassion, purpose and grace. Wishing all a blessed and joyful Easter.

Who says wellness can’t be a little whacky? 😄

Our Social Wellness team turned an ordinary day into something unforgettable with a lively game of Whack-a-Mole—but with a fun twist! Staff and students popped up as the “moles,” while our skilled nursing residents took charge of the mallets!

Laughter filled the room as everyone joined in—cheering, smiling, and maybe even trying to dodge a playful “whack”! It was more than just a game… it was connection, joy, and a reminder that fun has no age limit!

Moments like these are what make our community so special—bringing generations together, creating memories, and celebrating wellness in every form.

During Holy Week, we walk through Christ’s journey of love, sacrifice and hope. As a faith based community dedicated to caring for seniors, we are reminded of our calling to serve with compassion, dignity and grace—especially in moments that matter most. May this sacred week bring peace, reflection and renewed faith.

As we age, the right nutrition helps support strength, energy and overall well-being. But healthy eating isn’t just about what’s on the plate. It’s also about having the support, routine and community that make it easier to live well every day.
