We are overjoyed to share that Elizabeth Vela passed her NCLEX and will now be working as an LPN at PVM!

Elizabeth worked as our activity director when she decided she wanted to become a nurse. She worked as a CNA on the weekend evenings and nights while she was obtaining her schooling. Elizabeth is very well known as our balloon girl who makes the most perfect creations! She is willing to step in wherever she is needed. We are so incredibly proud of her for continuing her education and reaching her goals. Congrats, Elizabeth! We’re glad to have you on our team!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! We welcome 2026 and are so excited to share all of the fun things we have planned for this year.

Our residents got to spend their New Years Eve having a ✨Casino Night✨ with black Jack, uno, slot machines, dominoes, darts, non-alcoholic champagne, and of course, some of the finest hors d'oeuvres. We had some big big winners last night, but they’re all winners in our book.

Huge shout out to Monique and Deanna who came up with the plan and executed it like champs. Thanks to Paula for organizing the food. Thanks to Elizabeth for th amazing balloon garland. Thanks to the rest of our staff to have up time on their New Year’s Eve to come in and make it such a perfect NYE for our people! We’ve got the coolest team.

We’ve missed a couple of important things! Here is our end of year in review!

We had our annual Thanksgiving dinner in November where we hosted approximately 80 guests.

We had our Christmas party with gifts and finger foods in December. Paula always goes all out. It was so much fun. These gifts are purchased with money from fund raisers that we do.

Obviously our balloon girl has been busy making our facility look extra festive for all of the events!

We’ve had a blessed year and want to wish you all a very safe and Happy New Year! We have all kinds of exciting plans for 2026. Stay tuned!

A BIG “Thank You” to Hanna McCleary. Hanna is our Director of Nursing - but she is also our most enthusiastic Cheer Leader!! All year long Hanna honored every Department in our facility. She planned snacks, meals, posters, drinks, and “ whatever”. So I would like to honor Hanna with a big thank you and a picture that truly says what Hanna does. Hanna has worked at Protection Valley Manor for over 17 years. In today’s culture - Hanna is an anomaly. Young people Hanna‘s age have probably changed jobs four or five times. Hanna has very deep roots in this community and this facility. So we are truly Blessed that Hanna is still here at PVM making “ life in a nursing home” anything but boring! And yes - she was one of the ostriches on Halloween!

We’ve done so much work to our building over the last couple of years. When I say “we,” I mostly mean Martyn and Ryan, but we’re all here for the moral support. We’ve got lots of new exciting things happening over the next several months! Here is the start of one of our next projects! A new shed for storage will be built soon!

Today is Throwback Thursday! We were missing some staff so not as many to get pictured. We had some CUTE throwbacks. The taco truck is parked in our parking lot which is the icing on the cake. Also, we do kind of miss the boss, but we’re having fun “vacationing” from normalcy with her. 😜
