After a season of loss and rehab, what started with uncertainty slowly became something more familiar.

Laura Evans, who serves on the VMRC Foundation Board and works closely with older adults through her legal practice, once walked alongside a client whose path eventually led to permanent residence at VMRC after time in Oak Lea’s short-term rehab. Moving into complete living care brought daily connection, friendly faces, and a sense of belonging. Over time, VMRC became home. Not simply a setting for care, but a place of community. 🌿🤝

After years in the restaurant world, finding balance can feel out of reach, but at VMRC, our culinary team is proving otherwise. With supportive schedules, a welcoming culture, and time to enjoy life outside the kitchen, it’s no wonder team members are inviting their friends to join them. 🍳✨

Last Friday’s Voices of Peace Symposium, part of January’s Mennonite Heritage Month, was a meaningful day of learning, reflection, and connection. Five sessions explored how Mennonites have responded as peacemakers in different eras of conflict in our nation’s history.

We were grateful to have residents, staff members, community members, and students and teachers from local schools join us. The sessions were well attended, with strong participation and thoughtful engagement throughout the day.

While the majority of our residents and staff today are not part of the Mennonite tradition, the Mennonite ethos from which VMRC emerged in the mid-20th century continues to shape who we are as a community. Values of community, collaboration, stewardship, peacemaking, service, and belonging are widely embraced here and woven into daily life at VMRC.
