Memories Live On at Emerald Crest Burnsville

April 27, 2021

Memories live on through Jim's baseball autograph collection, at Emerald Crest Memory Care in Burnsville MN

Baseball theme, Jim's autograph collection, Memory Care Burnsville

As a fourteen-year-old in 1949, Emerald Crest Memory Care resident Jim was a serious baseball fan. He pined for autographs from baseball heroes such as Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth.

Jim finally decided there was only one way to get them—by writing to the players themselves.

His heroes wrote back, and you can read Jim's story here.

Quotes

I strongly feel my husband was treated with respect and dignity and am very thankful for all the staff that took such kind and capable care of him in the 16 months he was living there.  I found the nursing staff was caring and loving and always felt he was treated properly.  I have told everyone that asks about his care at Emerald Crest that I am so thankful and blessed he was there.  Emerald Crest was an answer to my prayers when I no longer could take care of him by myself.  Thank you all for providing such quality and loving care to people who desperately need it.

— Barbara, Burnsville MN, wife of EC Burnsville resident
