Garden View Assisted Living

11/03/2025

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!!

We were gifted this stunning Virgin Mary Statue today from the family of previous Garden View tenant, Ed Willenborg. 🤍

We found the perfect place for her in the grotto.

Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Willenborg family. 🫶🏼

Now the big question, what goodies should we throw out?! 🍬 🍭

🎺🥁 Carroll Band Day Parade 🎶

The route map is here—now all that’s missing is YOU! We can’t wait to see the streets lined with families, friends, and community members cheering on our incredible marching bands. 👏

Wave to all the businesses and organizations riding along the route… and don’t forget to reach for the candy 🍬🍭—it wouldn’t be Band Day without it!

✨ Bring your energy, your smiles, and your loudest cheers—we’ll see you Saturday!

Every other month, we invite Kristina's Flowers to Garden View so the tenants can make their own floral arrangements. 💐

This is one of the favorite activities we put on the calendar. We love seeing these bouquets brighten up our tenant spaces!

Thank you, Kristina! 🤍

Just a few of our weekly activities:

🍂 🐝 A new fall craft

Honoring our local hero’s 🚑 👮 👨‍🚒 with some fresh baked goodies 🍫

🔴🔵🟡🟢 A new twist on Twister. Instead of getting tangled up on the Twister mat, the tenants used the bean bag and had to use their left or right hands OR FEET to land the bag on the desired circle!

Not pictured: An impromptu trip to The Dairy Mart 🍦 We’re enjoying the last few weeks of their season all month!

Our tenants missed the bus last week so they had to start school a little late! 😜

We always enjoy getting back to school advice from our very knowledgeable tenants!
