Life at Royal Atrium Inn A Message from Rick VandenBerg A Celebration of Nurses
National Nurses Week also serves as an opportunity to acknowledge the resilience nurses demonstrate in the face of evolving healthcare challenges. Their adaptability, teamwork, and dedication have never been more evident, and their contributions continue to shape stronger, healthier communities. As we celebrate this special week in May, it i s important to express our gratitude daily for Amy, Brenda and Brynn at Royal Atrium Inn. A simple thank you can go a long way in honoring the tireless efforts of our nurses! Their work does not go unnoticed, and their impact reaches far beyond the walls of any healthcare facility.
The end of May encompasses National Nurses Week and is a time to recognize and celebrate the extraordinary dedication, compassion, and skill of nurses everywhere. From hospitals and clinics to schools, community centers, and assisted livings like ours, nurses play a vital role in improving the health and well-being of individuals and families every single day. Nurses are often the first point of contact for patients, offering not only medical care but also comfort and reassurance during moments of uncertainty. They work long hours, often under intense pressure, yet continue to show unwavering commitment to those in their care. Whether administering treatments, monitoring recovery, educating patients, or advocating for better health outcomes, nurses consistently go above and beyond. What makes nurses truly remarkable is their ability to blend technical expertise with genuine human connection. They listen when patients feel unheard, provide strength when hope feels distant, and celebrate victories—big and small—alongside those they serve. Their presence can transform a difficult experience into one marked by dignity and compassion.

market. Orange juice has become one of the most popular fruit juices in America, making an appearance on millions of breakfast tables each morning. To celebrate this national holiday, start your day by enjoying a cold glass of OJ. Orange juice is rich in vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that supports immune health and the formation of blood vessels, cartilage, muscle, and collagen. When labels on the juice claim to have “100% Daily Value” of vitamin C, it means that extra ascorbic acid was added to the process to boost the vitamin levels. Thanks to a little help from ascorbic acid, your OJ is basically a delicious delivery system for superhero- level vitamin C.

Chaplain’s Corner God Meant It For Good
Patrick returned to Ireland and started his first church in 432 in a barn. He ministered to the people and, at times, longed to return to his native home. The Holy Spirit laid on his heart that he was in the right place and needed to remain in Ireland, for there was much work to be done. Patrick and his followers followed the example of Jesus’ disciples. They went from place to place, preaching the gospel, baptizing believers, forming churches, and training leaders. Patrick wrote that he baptized many thousands of believers and ordained hundreds of priests. As I reread this story, I was reminded of how Patrick’s life reflects the lives of many figures in the Bible and, of course, the story of our Savior Jesus. The hardships Jesus endured in His lifetime, including separation from His heavenly Father, the challenges of His ministry, bringing the gospel to the people, training His disciples, and His ultimate suffering and death, were all intended by God for good. For the good of those who need to hear and believe the message of Jesus’ sacrificial death so that our sins may be paid for. As the celebration and remembrance take place on March 17 in honor of St. Patrick, let us also remember with humility during this season of Lent and prepare to celebrate the gift of our resurrected Savior Jesus on Easter. Jesus was born to live a perfect life so that our sins could be placed upon Him to satisfy the punishment we deserve from God. Jesus’ sacrifice was meant by God for good, our good. Thank you, Jesus!
March 17 is recognized as the day of St. Patrick’s death after a life spent responding to God’s call to evangelize the island of Ireland. Patrick was
born in Roman Britain, as it was known during his lifetime, and was a Roman citizen. The Roman Empire at that time extended into the area where Patrick was born. Patrick’s family was Christian. His father was a town official and a church deacon, and his grandfather was a priest in the Christian faith. At the age of 16, Patrick was captured by Irish raiders who took him to Ireland and sold him as a slave. This was not uncommon; thousands of others over the years faced the same experience. Patrick became a shepherd and watched over flocks in Ireland. He wrote in his autobiographical account that he prayed many times a day, his faith and love for God increased, and he sensed the Holy Spirit at work. After six years, he escaped and made his way 200 miles to the ocean, where he secured passage back to Britain. After some time, he reunited with his family but later had a vision of a man begging him to return to Ireland and bring the gospel. He spent 15 years training as a deacon and priest, after which he was ordained as a missionary bishop to pastor the Christians already in Ireland and to evangelize those who had not yet heard the gospel.

Royal Atrium Inn Announcements
The Royal Atrium family extends heartfelt May birthday greetings to all of our residents celebrating this month
MONDAY, MAY 25TH
As we enter the month of May, we are reminded of our responsibility to honor the fallen service members of the military— those who gave their lives to protect our nation and the freedoms we enjoy every day. While we mourn their loss, we also recognize that their sacrifice was not in vain. Through their courage and selflessness, they helped preserve the values and liberties that define our country. These men and women placed something greater than themselves first, serving with a deep sense of duty and commitment to a nation under God. Originally known as Decoration Day, this time of remembrance began as a way to honor those who died in military service by decorating their graves. Today, many continue this tradition by visiting cemeteries, placing flowers, offering prayers, and observing moments of silence.
