Why Donate To Senior Living?
Philanthropy has always been an integral part of Valley VNA Senior Services. In fact, the original Visiting Nurse Association was formed by a group of benevolent women in 1908. Throughout its 100 year history, the Valley VNA has had the support of the community through gifts of time, talent and donations. Today, the programs of Valley VNA provide an environment where people, who have given so much, can live the remainder of their lives independently and with dignity.
We are grateful to those who have joined the “generations of giving” to help us carry out our mission of providing quality choices for senior living. This continued support will ensure that Valley VNA is there to serve the community now and for generations to come. Traditionally, people think of planned gifts as estate planning. While that is one option, there are many other ways for you to make a lasting gift that will help sustain Valley VNA well into the future.
Life Enrichment Events
Valley VNA team members love to see smiles on the residents’ faces, so they offer activities that generate smiles! We provide our seniors with great events, such as:
- Movies and sporting events on the big screen
- Monthly and seasonal themed parties
- Daily exercise
- Walking Club
- Wii bowling
- Weekly bingo
- Prayer services
- Concerts in the park
Life Enrichment Programs
Valley VNA’s programs give seniors an opportunity to enjoy themselves, while benefiting their physical and mental health. One of the programs we provide is Lyrics & Laughter. This is a fun musical program that has physiological, emotional and social benefits, especially for those with memory loss. Active participation stimulates the brain and also has some physical benefits. Music is a road to memories and helps those with dementia get engaged and socialize in ways they normally can’t.
Other programs (such as Poetry at Play, Music and Memory, Sensory and Touch, Drum Circles and Time Slips) provide residents with a variety of ways to get involved, depending on their interests.
Meals on Wheels
We coordinate the Meals on Wheels Program in Neenah/Menasha. Organizing the volunteers who pick up the meals and deliver to the home. We ask for donations from those receiving meals, which allows the donations we receive to help subsidize the program.
Therapeutic Garden
We like to keep and maintain a beautiful, clean facility that everyone can be proud of. Not only our residents, but their families and our staff members are proud of, too. Our residents love being in the garden, sitting in the gazebo and walking along our beautiful building.
