Senior Residential Facility in Bedford, Ohio

With some of our long-serving department heads retiring, we’ve initiated new partnerships to ensure continued excellence in our operations. We want to make it absolutely clear that Light of Hearts Villa has not been sold, and we are not under new ownership. We remain the same loving community you’ve always known. These changes reflect our decision to outsource two departments to specialized companies that will enhance our efficiency and benefit us financially in the long run.

First, our maintenance department has transitioned to working with Brewer Garrett, a facility management company. This partnership, done in collaboration with our sister ministry at Regina Health Center and through the Sisters of Charity Health System, will streamline our facility operations. While residents and team members won’t notice significant changes in day-to-day maintenance, this move ensures that processes run more efficiently.

In addition to this change, we are pleased to announce that maintenance team member Scot has transitioned to our Life Enrichment team to be more hands-on with residents. His warm presence will bring even more joy to our community as he engages with residents in meaningful activities. Scot will also be available on Tuesdays and Thursdays to drive residents to their appointments, providing continuity and support in their daily routines.

We are also excited to announce changes within our dietary services following Chef Ray’s retirement. We’ve partnered with Metz, a highly regarded food service company, to take over our dining operations. Just like with maintenance, this is a joint venture with Regina Health Center and will allow us to offer more variety, healthier options, and a seamless dining experience for our residents. While change can sometimes be challenging, we believe this shift will enhance the food experience here at Light of Hearts Villa, and we’re eager for residents to enjoy all that Metz has to offer.
