This week, we are showing our gratitude to the Environmental Services team: James, Sheila, and Kathie! 💙

With a combined 34 years of experience and dedication to Valley Senior Living, these three bring more than just cleanliness and maintenance to residents and staff; they bring compassionate care and a deep commitment to making Tufte Manor a safe, welcoming, and comfortable place to live.

From over 70 spotless rooms to well-kept common spaces, their hard work is felt in every corner of our community. We are so grateful for everything they do, every single day.
