Friendly, helpful and kind staff.

Five Star Review

My mom lived at VWH for close to four years. My brother and I found the staff to be friendly, helpful and kind. She loved all the activities that were offered and the warm cozy atmosphere of the parlor…..

VWH is a fantastically kept secret!

Five Star Review

Hi!

VWH is a fantastically kept secret! It truly is a home. It’s warm, the staff is large in number and incredibly attentive. It is not one of these over the top fancy places thank goodness and I’m certain the residents here get more individual and personalized attention than any of those large facilities.

I cannot tell you how grateful I am that my mother is at VWH. I rest easy daily knowing she is well cared for, supported, loved and having fun. She hadn’t been this alive in 8 years. Grateful every single day.
