On April 16, National Healthcare Decisions Day, we are reminded that every person deserves a voice in their healthcare journey. For peace of mind, especially in times of a health crisis, it is important that an individual’s healthcare wishes are known. Empower yourself and your family with the knowledge and tools to make informed decisions about your healthcare. Benedictine has resources available on its website to help make a plan.

We were sorry to hear about the passing of our dear friend Tank the horse. Tank starting coming out to visit our residents almost 6 years ago. He brought smiles, lots of memories of residents years past, and even some snuggles. Tank was so gentle and shared a special kinship with our residents. He will be greatly missed. Here are just a few of our favorite memories with our favorite horse.
