Valley Home has cared for seniors since 1956 and sits right along Highway 32 at the south end of Thief River Falls, where Highway 32 and Arnold Avenue South meet, and you'll find the place has a long-standing staff that's known for being dedicated and friendly. The community's for people sixty-two and older, offering independent and assisted living options along with specialized memory care for those living with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia, so if a person needs help with dressing, bathing, or medications, they'll find the staff ready to assist while still respecting each resident's independence. There are maintenance-free, stylish homes-with ground floor units, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV-that give everyone a comfortable place to live, and the place has both shared and private dining areas where people often gather to enjoy meals like meatloaf, roast beef, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, and the like, and you'll see broccoli with cheese or mashed potatoes on the tables from time to time. They offer restaurant-style meals in a dining room and transportation is there for doctor's appointments. Folks get around easily with parking available if they drive.
There's always something to do, whether it's Bible education classes, prayer services, exercise sessions, bingo, movie nights, dinners, or activities such as basketball and golf, and the community makes a point of running programs that help keep minds sharp and spirits high. There's a vibrant social scene, so nobody spends days alone unless they want to, and residents can drop by the beauty salon without leaving the building. Valley Home coordinates with local healthcare providers for quality care and has services for those who may need hospice provided on site, plus high acuity care, diabetic care, non-ambulatory support, and incontinence care. Staff will help with cooking and laundry, and medication management is part of what's on offer too.
The facility works alongside families to develop personalized care plans, adapting support as health needs change, and pays close attention to keeping everyone safe-offering 24-hour supervision and controlled environments for those who might wander due to memory issues. For those living at home, they've trained aides who provide non-medical care and companionship. The setting itself feels like a small neighborhood, and residents share activities and mealtimes together, making Valley Home a straightforward place for aging adults to live with comfort and dignity, surrounded by friends, familiar faces, and a good mix of independence and support.
