My sister and I know that our mom loves Valley View! Thank you for all you and your staff have done to make the transition and now a permanent situation for mom a positive one. I appreciate being contacted when necessary about any health-related issue. We feel that mom is in the right place for her needs, as well as our peace of mind!
Continued success to you all!

I am writing to say thank you very much for having a big heart for the needy and more so considering Uganda to be one of the beneficiaries. I acknowledge receipt of the items you sent through Roberta S. and I have delivered them to Hospice Africa Uganda (HAU).
