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. 🫶🏼

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! 🤍
