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.
The residents and staff of Valley View want to wish the people of the Valley a safe and Happy New Year. We hope that the world will be at peace during 2013.
We want to thank all the volunteers and organizations that have helped brighten the lives of our residents during 2012.
