It wasn't just a GOOD Friday; it was a GREAT Friday at Heritage Woods of Benton! We had an absolute blast celebrating Easter during our public Easter event.

*Children and families took pictures, visited, and danced with the Easter Bunny and our BIG PINK Easter Egg.

*Children of all ages received candy-filled Easter eggs and had their faces painted by the incredibly talented Lennie Shelton, Director of the Benton Chamber of Commerce.

*Everyone enjoyed delicious popcorn and shared plenty of laughs!

Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the event and to our fabulous staff at Heritage Woods!

Our Resident Gail's Creative April Fools' Day Surprise!
Gail, our resident creative spirit, had a playful twist for April Fools' Day!
She wandered around with a covered basket filled with delightful surprises. When she unveiled her basket, she revealed an array of “E’s.” Can you guess what beloved dessert a basket brimming with this special letter symbolizes?
*Special Hint: What color are the letters?

We are honored to share the story of Pat Burke, a Vietnam Veteran who understands firsthand the powerful impact a service animal can have.

By his side is Martha, a gentle 6-year-old Great Dane who plays a vital role in helping Pat manage his PTSD. With Martha’s support, Pat is able to sleep more peacefully and navigate daily activities that might otherwise be overwhelming.

Pat not only shares his personal journey, but also generously shares Martha with others. Together, they represent SSM Health, visiting communities like ours and bringing comfort, calm, and joy to both residents and staff.

One particularly touching moment Pat shared was during a visit to a local hospital ER. Martha sensed a woman in distress, climbed gently onto her bed, and laid beside her—offering quiet companionship and comfort when it was needed most.

We are truly grateful for Pat and Martha, and the light they bring into the lives of so many. ❤️

Our receptionist, Alison, is truly much more than just a receptionist at Heritage Woods. She actively supports various departments in their tasks while forming genuine friendships with our residents.
