THANK YOU to Jerry and Elaine Bauerly and their family. For their ongoing commitment and support of
Quiet Oaks.
The Bauerly's have been decking the halls of Quiet Oaks since we opened our doors.
Unfortunately, because of Covid this year we had to forgo their help.
Resident Bernie along with her helpful elf, nurse Tiffany, did a superb job in the Bauerly's absence.

Molly Dunn, RN
Hello to the Quiet Oaks family! My name is Molly Dunn. It has been just over 1 year that I have had the pleasure and honor to work at Quiet Oaks. I have lived in St. Cloud the majority of my life. I am blessed to have come from a very loving and supportive family.
I currently live with my two fur babies, Poppi and Charli. My pictures probably say it all about me as I enjoy the holidays and bringing joy to all!
These two quotes define me the best:
"Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing" ~Mother Teresa
"I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel" ~Maya Angelou

Julie K. Peters, Volunteer
Hometown: St. Cloud, MN
Family: Husband Mark, Two children Andy (Kasey) of Elk River and Madeline of San Francisco. Three grandchildren named Mason, Max & Everlee
Family Pet: Dog named Aunt Bea
Hobbies: Volunteering, world-wide connections with friends/family, cooking, yoga, walking, writing, caring for grandchildren, and LOVING Life!
Why Volunteer at QO: After 30 years of college classroom teaching and Business Employee Development, I returned to school in the area of Health & Wellness. I completed my certification in Healing Touch focusing in Hospice Care. I knew Joe & Mary Bauer and of Quiet Oaks. Quiet Oaks gave me the opportunity to complete my clinical hours of practice! I fell head over heels (gently) in love with staff, residents and volunteers. This is where I want to share my time and love. That was almost 6 years ago!

Safety for our residents, families, staff and volunteers is our first priority and we just wanted to let everyone know that Quiet Oaks is taking all the recommended CDC precautions to keep everyone safe. We will continue to follow all CDC recommendations and will integrate all measures as needed. Please keep Quiet Oak and everyone across the globe in your prayers.
