At Valley View, residents enjoyed many activities throughout the week. The Activity Department offers a wide variety of activities each week to meet the residents’ interests, as well as the physical, mental, and psychological well-being of each resident.
We will be having our annual resident Christmas party on Thursday, Dec. 20 at 5:00 p.m. Family members of residents, volunteers, and friends of Valley View are invited to attend this holiday event. We want to thank the Kiwanis for the Christmas presents for residents that will be passed out at this party by Santa.

On Wednesday afternoon, 9 residents played Bingo, and on Friday afternoon, 12 residents played Bingo. Jeanette Baker and Frank Jereb won Four Corners. June Wenger won Blackouts both days. Our Bingo helpers were Joni Johnson, Betty Dean, Joy Hamilton, Jill Martin, Connie Hood, and Roxie Baldwin.
