Under the cover of darkness, a small group of dedicated individuals labor to keep Saint John’s residents safe and sound.

The care neighborhoods of Windsor, Stratford and Canterbury are staffed in the overnight hours with Nurses and Resident Assistants. Longtime employee Wendy Zbieranek, RN, takes charge of the crew in assisted living. Her eye for detail goes beyond resident care as the relative quiet of night shift allows time to report observations of work needed to maintain safety and aesthetics. Wendy’s counterpart is Dana Jackson, LPN. Dana focuses her considerable talent customizing her approach to the unique needs of each . . .

INSPIRED PAINTER

Saint John’s Team Member and Artist, Darron Ray Reed, discusses his painting entitled “United We Stand”.

“It is dedicated to my inspiration… the employees of Saint John’s On The Lake for their hard work and devotion to our residents, and to each other,” says Reed.  “The individual gold plaques represent each department/team, whose efforts are essential to maintaining a strong foundation. The puzzle pieces represent our diversity – with many ethnic groups coming together . . .
