Memories Live On at Emerald Crest Burnsville

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 would highly recommend Emerald Crest to anyone who needs this type of care. Arlen the chaplain is exceptional! The residents respond to his services. He makes each individual the king or queen for the day. The zoom support group sessions Arlen provided was a life saver for me. He offered insights as did the other family and friends who joined in. Thank you Arlen!!  As I reflect on the past couple years I am so grateful to everyone who provided a safe environment for my loved one. Thanks again to all of you. I might stop by now and then. I treasure everyone’s friendships, kind smiles and conversations!!

— Jan, Daughter of Minnetonka EC Resident
