Say "hello" to Rose! Rose is a picky eater and she will be the first one to tell you that. She will also tell you that spending an entire life working in the food service business would make anyone appreciate the quality of food around them! Rose waitressed at, owned, and managed restaurants and bakeries for her entire career and has made more food for more people than you can imagine; from friends and family to customers of every age , she always did her best to let her passion for quality food and quality service show in every dish she prepared.
Rose would still be cooking as much food as possible today, but the physical demands of the job forced her to slow down and retire, and when her husband of fifty-nine years passed she knew it was time for a change. After visiting many different facilities Rose said the choice of Heritage Woods of Minooka was an easy one. “Everyone here is so kind and welcoming,” Rose said. “I like everything here, especially the outings!”
And as far as the food? Rose says she understands the challenges of cooking three solid meals for one hundred people every day of the year, and she gives high praise to the ham, baked potatoes, and pot roast. “My bean soup is still better, though!” Heritage Woods of Minooka is lucky to have Rose in our community!

We all know the stories of child prodigies: Mozart started composing at 5, and Tiger Woods picked up his first golf club when he was 2. But what about the people who made their mark at a more advanced age?
