DS: How did Methodist Village Senior Living come to be?
Our great heritage dates back to 1961. Since then, MVSL has been proud to be the only faith based, nonprofit organization serving the River Valley. Over the years our campus has grown and expanded services to include Independent Living, Assisted Living, Alzheimer’s Special Care, Long Term Care, and In/Out Patient Rehabilitation.
DS: Who does Methodist Village Senior Living serve and in what ways?
Teachers, coaches, veterans, business owners, professors, housewives, lawyers, engineers, musicians – and so many more fill the halls of MVSL. These individuals have given their time and talents to our current generations and we are so thankful to be able to provide them quality care in areas that may challenge them, such as ADL’s (activities of daily living). In addition, our residents receive delicious meals, and they have access to our rehab team. Residents can participate in a variety of activities, from clubs and committees to visiting with childhood friends and making new ones.
DS: Tell us how Methodist Village Senior Living impacts our community.
It’s the promise of ‘Our Mission is You!’ that truly represents the impact MVSL has on our community. We help residents enjoy the quality of life and peace of mind that abounds at MVSL. In addition, family members are secure in knowing that their loved ones are being cared for in a safe and loving environment. With a plan in place for the unknown down the line, residents feel secure knowing that their future health care needs will be met. At MVSL, community engagement is an integral part of our business. We support local organizations through sponsorships, donations, attending events, volunteer work, and more.
DS: How can our community get involved and show support?
Our Life Plan Community is growing! MVSL continues to raise the bar when it comes to caring for our seniors. We want to provide a place where seniors are proud to live and proud to have family and friends visit. When you give, you join our Board of Directors, CEO, leadership team and staff as we take care of those who took care of us. You can make a meaningful impact with a gift of any size to the MVSL Foundation. We need your support more than ever and your contribution will be 100% tax-deductible.
