Valley Cares Assisted & Independent Living Ready for Residents

If all goes according to plan, the 28-unit Assisted Living building and the 24-unit Independent Living building will be opening to current Heins Home residents at the end of October; others whose applications have been accepted will move in during early November. Valley Cares Board President John Nopper credits Operations Director Bob Crego and Care Director Catherine Amarante for their work. “Speaking for all of us at Valley Cares, we plan to continue the tradition of caring for elders in our community.”

Although he would greatly prefer that we not mention it,Valley Cares Board President John Nopper is the 2007 recipient of the Miles Jensen Award, given annually by Housing Vermont to an individual who has made an outstanding volunteer contribution to affordable housing. At the awards ceremony in Burlington in September, it was noted that “John is a leader in the community. He has the resolve and good nature it takes to see such a complex community project through.” Well said.

The final touches are made at West River Valley Independent Housing.
