Village Highlights 2015
2015 Through the Eyes of PVM Residents and Their Families
A Best Place to Age PVM Villages continued the fine tradition represented by seventy years of service. Residents, staff and board members created a unique blend of stakeholders who made waves in a positive way with innovation, advocacy and service excellence. Memories were made; and life enhancing services were provided. Opportunities to volunteer and live with purpose were created. PVM Villages also increased their outreach to serve their local communities. Often economic development has been considered a separate endeavor from senior services; yet PVM stakeholders have helped to have a significant and positive impact on local economies and neighborhoods. They have also touched lives one person at a time. Some participants related that they could hardly move and are now participating in the annul Village Victory Cup and joining
in on walking clubs. Residents have reported that this is the best home in which they have ever lived. A member of a card club related that since the death of her husband she had lost life’s luster and had been withdrawing. Her club members have encouraged her to reach out to others and become involved. Now she has found her way back to living a full and vibrant life. These are among hundreds of stories reflecting our motto to “embrace the possibilities” which life has to offer. At every Village everyday PVM fans are finding new and different ways to live life to the fullest. Let’s keep in mind: “Age is a privilege denied to many.” The Village Roster found on the next several pages depicts how PVM residents and consumers have lived out the notion of “a best place to age” in 2015.
