Pat’s Story: Regaining Her Independence
Pat has only lived at Heritage Woods of Plainfield for a short time, but has already made great friends here. Pat loves to cook, and recently came across an old recipe book while unpacking her items. She said, “the book is well over 50 years old and thought it was gone forever.” Along with cooking, she enjoys sewing, reading, and gardening.
Pat likes attending our Daily Reflections group and looks forward to attending it everyday. She was married but became a widow over 25 years ago. She raised 3 children; two boys and one girl who she sadly outlived.
Pat was a registered nurse for 53 years. She worked in hospitals, nursing homes, and rehabs. Like most first responders, she is very humble and kind. She is a quiet, unassuming lady who downplays her position as a nurse where she saved many lives and comforted those who were ill. She is used to taking care of others, but now it is her turn to sit back, relax, and let Heritage Woods of Plainfield take care of her.
