Our Resident Stories
Our residents are the reason we do what we do.
In celebration of our 50th Anniversary, RHF partnered with US Bank to publish our residents’ stories, In Their Own Words, telling how living in an RHF community has impacted their lives. To download the complete publication, click onto this link.
RHF is grateful to US Bank for funding this project.

Charles Gordon - Since living in an RHF Community for four years, a whole new world has opened up for me. I came to Ingleside Manor straight from the hospital, knowing my son had found this place.

Leana Bentley - Before 2007, I was living in the country by myself. I was lonely. I was living alone and it took all of my check to pay bills and buy medicine with nothing left over.

Lily Ann Johnsen - If I weren't living here, I'd be in a nursing home! I get so much help here. I was 103 on July 7, and I've lived here for 19 years. There's so much going on. You never get lonely. Every week there's one or two things that are entertaining. I like to listen to the music groups that come here, or just sit in the lobby and visit. Read More |

Gloria Fahnert - It was Sunday, August 28, 2005, the day before Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans full force, when I and my 48 year old son David obeyed the mandatory evacuation order and hurriedly left our home. We had no idea where we were going and what lay ahead. Read More |
