“I am thankful to live in a safe caring place like Beacon Hill. I am truly grateful and appreciative of all the people who work here. Everyone from management on down does their very best to keep us well-fed, informed, and happy. Many thanks to one and all. Happy Thanksgiving!” – Ruth Perry

“First, I thank God for all the blessings in my life: my parents for a strong faith and education, my family, late husband, children, grand children and great grandchild coming! My friends, especially at Beacon Hill. We are so cared for at Beacon Hill for which I am most grateful. Thank you so much Beacon Hill staff, employees, for making life so special here.” – Rosie Zant
“Happiness cannot be given. It is found within, nurtured by the natural beauty in our world around us and the good in the people we love and who love us. I am grateful to be living in Beacon Hill. The beauty in the trees and gardens outside, the attractive indoor arrangements and table decorations please the eye. The sharing and caring of residents and friendships formed among us. The smiles and patience of the staff and their willingness to help when needed. I feel safe, well cared for, and content.” – Jean Springer
“Our son said what surprised him most in medical school was not how the body could go wrong, but how it could ever work right!

“I am so impressed by dedicated, safe care we are all receiving here at Beacon Hill. I am so happy to hear there are no cases of the virus here. My apartment is cleaned and she came in Saturday and wiped down the elevators and railings. The servers and cook staff have come through with flying colors. I am thankful for each one of you.”
– Mary Lou Morrow

“It is incredible how quickly all of you came together to provide meals for the residents here at Beacon Hill during this anxious, unsettling time. Thank You! You have calmed our souls!

– Jerry and Jo Hein

“You have done so many very caring and thoughtful things to keep us safe, healthy, amused and entertained that there isn’t room enough here to even mention them all. I feel safer and more protected here than if I left to be with family or friends. That is an amazing thing! It is all due to all the extra work you are doing and your many kindnesses to us by your actions, your words and your smiles! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“My sincere “Thank you” to you, Jeff and your entire staff. You all have done an amazing job. Thanks to the chefs, servers and other kitchen workers. The food has been so good! Thanks to the cleaning staff – you have been so efficient in your job of keeping everything clean and disinfected. Thank you to those who have made this “separation” situation easier to deal with (exercise info, games, activities – that takes creativity!) – A personal thanks to Maira and Terdoo for help with my “techie” incapabilities! I am so grateful to be a resident of Beacon Hill. I feel safe, secure, loved and well taken care of. I thank God for all of you – and may he bless you and all of us with good health and peace of mind.” – Love and prayer, Ruth Penning
