BMA Management, Ltd. issued the following announcement on Sept. 17
Heritage Woods of Freeport, Deer Path of Huntley and Heritage Woods of Ottawa earned top honors in the 2021 Testimonial Contest, hosted by the Affordable Assisted Living Coalition.
The focus of the contest is to highlight the important role that the Illinois Supportive Living Program plays in the lives of older adults and adults with physical disabilities. The program provides a wonderful alternative to a nursing home for individuals who need some help to maintain their independence. Individuals of virtually all incomes, including those on Medicaid, can qualify for residency.
Gardant manages more than 40 communities in Illinois that participate in the state’s Supportive Living Program.
The winners of the first, second and third place awards in the Testimonial Contest are residents of Gardant-managed communities.
First Place – Terri Dodds, Heritage Woods of Freeport
“I wasn’t in a good place in my life mentally or physically. Having some tragic life situations, I decided it was time for change. My first impression – welcomed and loved. Improved 110% physically, mentally, now more social, many friends that are like family to me. My family is beyond happy, at ease knowing I am loved and safe.”
Second Place – Rebekah Flores, Deer Path of Huntley
“Being fairly new to Deer Path, it was getting involved that changed my outlook of my new living arrangement. Participating in activities has allowed me to build new friendships, practice my leadership skills, and help others to do the same.”
Third Place – Joyce, Heritage Woods of Ottawa
“The folks here are so kind and friendly. When I moved in, I was nervous about meeting new people. My neighbors were excited to introduce themselves and it made me feel very welcome! I should have moved here sooner!”
Heritage Woods of Freeport and Heritage Woods of Ottawa are affordable assisted lifestyle communities that serve older adults. Deer Path of Huntley is an affordable assisted lifestyle community for adults with physical disabilities.
