🎶 Happy World Music Therapy Week! 🎶

At Valley Senior Living, music isn’t just something you hear in the dining room during meal time or during worship service, it’s something you can feel, share with your neighbors and friends, and something you can experience together almost every day because of our amazing music therapy program.

Our care communities are filled with the sound of connection. From singing choirs and chime choirs to rock band, guitar lessons, and even an Orff band, there are so many ways for residents to engage with music. The music therapy program offers personalized one-on-one music therapy sessions, meaningful and compassionate end-of-life music offerings, and group sessions that bring people together in powerful ways.

With the assistance of and under the direction of music therapists Lindsey Moffitt and Jill Swingen, residents are often enjoying and creating music! Nearly every single day you will find music in the care we provide.

We’re grateful for the passion, heart and dedication the music therapists bring to residents, family members and the care partners. Music has a way of reaching places words cannot, and at Valley, it plays a meaningful role in enriching lives and strengthening connections. 💚

April is National Volunteer Month, and at Tufte Manor we are privileged to be celebrating with someone who truly represents the heart of volunteer service! 💚

🎉Please join us in congratulating Lucy Restad on being named Junior Volunteer of the Year by the North Dakota Long Term Care Association!

Lucy is the kind of person who makes an immediate and lasting impact the moment she walks through the doors at Tufte Manor. She gives of her time so generously, and makes the most meaningful connections. The smiles she brings and the conversations she has, they matter more than words can express. Staff and residents alike look forward to seeing her!

Lucy exemplifies what it means to volunteer and serve others selflessly, and she does it with empathy and commitment. She reminds all of us that even the smallest acts of kindness can make the biggest difference.

Lucy, we are so proud of you and so grateful to have you as part of the Tufte Manor family. Congratulations on this well-deserved honor. You inspire us all 🌟
