"They say it takes a village to raise a child. It also takes a village to care for an aging loved one. At Valparaiso Senior Village they live up to this expectation in the best way possible. From the kind, caring, hands on Executive Director to the welcoming receptionist at the front desk, their “resident focus” rings loud and clear. When our father lost his bride of 64 years, we knew he could no longer live on his own. We toured several local assisted living facilities. While they were all nice, VSV really stood out. Nestled in a country setting, with handsome amenities, nice rooms, excellent food, and activities for everyone….it very quickly became home for our father. The biggest differentiator, however, was truly the people. From our first visit up to today, each encounter with their team members has been outstanding. During weekly visits, it became readily clear that the nurses, aides, kitchen crew, maintenance team, and activities director all knew their jobs very well. But, more importantly they all knew our dad. Each called him by his name, and were attentive to his needs, likes and preferences. The care has been consistent and exceptional. Dad calls them his “Super Team.” I cannot tell you how many times my siblings and I have turned to each other on our visits and said, “I am so glad we chose this place.” Dad enjoyed his time in assisted living for over a year and a half. Recently, based on candid, caring and accurate feedback from the staff at VSV, we transitioned him to memory care. This was a time of uncertainly for our family. However, the expert team at VSV guided us step by step and made the move comfortable and painless for all of us. They handled the whole move from his one-bedroom apartment in assisted living to his new studio in memory care. On the day of the move, the family took our dad out for an outing. When we returned, we went straight to his new studio apartment. All his favorite furniture and possessions were in place. Pictures were hung on the wall. His recliner and comforter were waiting for him….and the TV was hung on the wall and functioning. Our dad especially liked that they had hung his beloved Green Bay Packers sign back over his new door. Once again, he was home! They also permitted us to put up a birdfeeder outside his window to keep him connected with the outdoors. Since moving to MC, the care and ongoing commitment to our father continues to exceed our expectation. We know in our hearts, it was a good move for him, and we cannot thank the entire team at VSV enough."
