We are incredibly proud to spotlight our team at Valley Residence in Chattanooga, Tennessee—Executive Director Wendy Owens and Life Enrichment Coordinator Tabitha Cox—who recently appeared on Local 3 News’ “3 Plus You” segment! 🎉
During the segment, Wendy and Tabitha shared the heart behind their community’s unique programming and the meaningful ways they create connection, engagement, and joy for their residents every day.
One exciting highlight was the introduction of their newest innovation—the Crdl©. This remarkable instrument transforms touch into music, creating beautiful, shared experiences between residents, caregivers, and loved ones. By simply connecting through touch, individuals can create sound together—encouraging socialization, emotional connection, and engagement in a truly unique way.
The Crdl© is especially impactful for residents living with dementia, offering a non-medication approach to redirect, soothe, and connect. Designed to foster meaningful interaction, it helps bridge communication gaps and create moments of joy and presence.
We are honored to have leaders like Wendy and Tabitha who continue to bring innovative, compassionate care to life—and to share that story with their community.
