Bob Wheeler leaves retirement to serve
Aberdeen Village residents
Well before he was retired, Bob Wheeler had high regard for Aberdeen Village. Now a part-time employee in the community’s transportation department, Bob spent the final years of his career delivering oxygen to skilled nursing residents for nearly a decade.
“I spent most of my career in sales and marketing but then moved to the medical equipment world,” he explained. “I was so impressed during my interactions with Aberdeen Village. The residents were so well cared for and seemed genuinely happy.”
When he did retire, Bob says he was “bored stiff” within a week or two and decided to find some part-time work. Aberdeen Village was on his short list, and he ended up getting hired.
Aside from driving residents to and from appointments or shopping trips, Bob also works in the life enrichment area of the community.
“I love being involved in the various activities with our residents,” he said.

Aberdeen Village is excited to announce the winners of its recent Art is Ageless® juried competition and exhibit.
“We’re honored that local seniors allowed us to exhibit their wonderful works of art in our competition,” said Lauren Keller, administrative services assistant.
“Art
is Ageless is unique in exclusively showcasing works from artists who are 65 and over. Our artists prove it’s never too late to create art, in any form.
Local competition winners will join winners from 14 other PMMA (Presbyterian Manors of MidAmerica®) senior living communities to be judged at the masterpiece level. Winning entries at the masterpiece level are selected for publication in PMMA’s annual Art is Ageless calendar and note cards. Art is Ageless is a copyrighted program of PMMA®. For the competition, works must have been completed in the past five years. Started in 1980, Art is Ageless is an extension of PMMA’s wellness programs, which focus on mental, physical, social, and spiritual health. The program encourages Aberdeen Village residents and other area seniors to express their creativity through its annual competition.
