“St. Matthew has been my home away from home for over 30 years! It is truly a place of excellent care to residents and employees. It is a great feeling at the end of the day knowing that I had the privilege to make a difference in my residents’ lives, or that I had the ability to encourage family members and friends. I still learn something new every day to add to the reservoir of knowledge gained working here. I thank St. Matthew for the opportunity to grow professionally and spiritually through my wonderful years of service here.”
Mariamma Thomas, R.N.

“Since I've been working at St. Matthew I have been inspired by the residents in many ways. I've learned so much from them.”
Gina Watford, Director of Admissions

“Working with residents is a wonderful learning experience for me. There is always conversation when I work with them. They give me good advice, and we often talk about food; sometimes we even exchange recipes! I’ve been here 15 years, and I wouldn’t change a thing.”
Lydia Rutkowski, Restorative C.N.A.

“I enjoy my work here at St. Matthew because I get paid to make people smile! I work in the recreation services department and coordinate our LifeBalance program, so I have plenty of opportunity for fun and smiles. Serving the senior community is an absolute joy. Seniors have lived long and interesting lives and I find it very fulfilling to learn about them and their experiences. This is a place where no two days are alike - we have to be able to think on our toes, as well as be extremely compassionate, caring, patient and flexible.”
Cathy Burchard, Recreation Services

“I am proud to work at St. Matthew Center for Health because of our commitment to enriching the lives of the residents. From gardening to knitting to summertime car washes, the staff and volunteers fully support the residents’ need to find meaning and joy in each day.”
Melissa Barnett, Director of Recreation Services

“We have a great team here at St. Matthew, made of individuals who truly care.”
Patrick Kurtz, Director of Building Services

“I am inspired and thrilled that St. Matthew provides care for people in very important and special ways, for a very important and special reason: we care and act because God has done so for us in Christ.”
The Rev. N. Eileen Harris, Chaplain
