Touching Lives

Bud & Caryl,
A place to call home
There came a time in their lives when Bud wanted things to be easier for his high school sweetheart Caryl.

They spoke with their four children and the decision was made to move into Heritage Woods of McHenry. Moving during a pandemic wasn’t the easiest thing to do, and Bud & Caryl hadn’t seen their actual apartment until the day they moved in. When they opened the door, Bud & Caryl knew it was the perfect room because the community’s American Flag was visible right outside their apartment window. Bud is a Navy veteran, so this is extra meaningful to him.

Samantha's Story:
A Promise to Her Daughter for the Ideal Home
People are faced with difficult times throughout their lives. As we get older, dealing with these difficult times can be a little more of a challenge.

Samantha was challenged when she found out that her daughter was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Samantha’s daughter needed her mother to care for her full time, so the ladies rented a two-bedroom apartment in town. Times were not easy. Samantha was her daughter’s one and only caregiver. She took her daughter to all the necessary appointments and treatments. “Watching your own daughter’s health fail is not something any mother should have to do.”

Art & Denise's Story:
Letting Love Bloom at Heritage Woods
The transition to assisted living community is different for everyone. It can harder for some people to give up their home and independence than it is for others. Other people realize that they have lived the way wanted; they embrace the fact that they are older and need others to help care for them.

Denise was one of those residents who was not pleased when it was time to leave her home. She became depressed and filled with anxiety. It was hard for her family to see Denise this way. During mealtimes, we noticed that she loved to be social and talk with other residents. But once meals were over, that ended. She went back to her apartment. She didn’t attend activities and kept to herself. The same routine went on for months, and that worried her loved ones.
