Garden View Assisted Living

01/13/2026

"I wasn’t sure about leaving my farm after 60 years but I am very happy here. I like that I don’t wear myself out trying to cook and keep up with my home. The food here is good, the staff keep it very clean and they do my laundry. I also like that I can come and go as I please and enjoy all of the activities offered. It's nice having Garden View friends to talk to, go on walks with and interact with throughout the day."

Last week, we decorated gingerbread houses with our Kuemper buddies! 🏠 🍬

Fun fact: We have our Kuemper buddies walk down to visit quite often! Whether it’s the junior high student council or the elementary kids chalking our sidewalks, the tenants enjoy any time they get with our buddies! ❣️

The teamwork on these was amazing to see! Such intricate detail and cozy little houses!

🎼 We took ‘Deck the HALLS with boughs of Holly’ to the next level!

The tenants and their families did such a good job decorating their apartment doors for the holiday season! It’s been so fun to walk the halls these past few weeks and see the Christmas spirit!

Now we need your help! Vote for your FAVORITE door by commenting on the photo with a holiday themed emoji! 🎄 🧑‍🎄 ⛄️ 🎅 🎁

Last nights beautiful sunset was the perfect backdrop for our Garden View nativity.

Holiday lights are showing off in front yards and in the sky!
Reiley Josephine captured both the manger scene on the ground and the orange above the horizon this week as melting takes away the chance of a white Christmas.

As you walk into the front doors at Garden View, you will be greeted by the most stunning Christmas tree. 🎄

Erin, our Activities Director, and a handful of tenants worked on this beauty all afternoon.

Thank you to our 2nd grade Kuemper buddies for coming to visit today!

These kids walked down to Garden View (in the rain) ☔️ to visit with the tenants and show off their art 🖍️ skills in their own version of the Macy’s Thanksgiving 🦃 Day Parade!

Our November 2025 Employee of the Month is… Rachel Pudenz!

RACHEL was nominated by her coworkers and this is what they had to say:

“We recently had a couple of tenants at Garden View that had multiple acute needs. Rachel communicated those needs effectively with leadership and the team while handling difficult situations in a calm manner, always putting the tenant’s needs first.”

“Rachel hasn’t been with Garden View very long but she is a great asset to our team. Rachel is reliable and dedicated, giving the tenants exceptional care. Rachel exceeds in her work performance and contributes to a positive work environment. She would make a great nurse!”

Thank you, Rachel!!
