We’re excited to introduce Edward Hayes, who recently joined the Santa Marta leadership team as our Director of Hospitality — a brand-new role dedicated to elevating the dining experience and service across our community.

With more than 30 years of hospitality leadership, Edward brings a wealth of expertise from high-end hotels like the Westin Kansas City and the InterContinental, as well as experience as a restaurant owner and in senior living environments. His passion for warm, high-quality service aligns perfectly with the Santa Marta mission.

Originally from southwest Montana, Edward has lived in Overland Park for 25 years. He’s a proud father of two sons, an active member of the Church of the Ascension, and a dedicated community volunteer with over 30 years of service to the Salvation Army.

Outside of work, you’ll find him enjoying sports, gardening, cooking, and traveling. We’re thrilled to welcome Edward and look forward to all the ways he’ll help make Santa Marta even more exceptional!

This special program helps ensure that residents who may have exhausted their financial resources continue to receive the care, compassion, and dignity they deserve.

We’re especially grateful to our generous sponsors at DM Injury Law for their continued support. Your partnership helps make a lasting difference in the lives of our residents and their families.

This week, our Santa Marta family had the absolute joy of surprising two very special residents, Steve and Pat Sasenick, as they celebrated an incredible milestone — their 70th wedding anniversary! ❤️

With help from their loved ones, they were whisked away on a beautiful trip down memory lane, starting with a visit to the Catholic church where they were married, followed by several nostalgic stops from their early days together.

Seeing their smiles and laughter reminded us all what lasting love truly looks like.

Here’s to 70 years of faith, love, and memories… and to many more joyful moments still to come!
