While updating the front lobby, we have added a fireplace, fresh paint, new carpet and new offices. The aviary will have a new spot with sitting area for the residents and their family to visit. The main dining area we have added a salad bar. We also have added a movie theater room. We would like to add a surround sound so that all the residents will be able to enjoy the movie of the day. This has been very exciting for both the residents and staff as well. Donations for this project would include: Sitting furniture, coffee table, end tables, surround sound system, popcorn maker, etc. A gift to Valley Manor Care Center will help us offer even more activities and programs for our residents.
