Valley To Valley Senior Care Center
Valley to Valley Senior Care Center is dedicated to providing compassionate, reliable support that improves quality of life and promotes dignity and independence for those we serve.
A Third Choice for Families
Valley to Valley was born from a simple truth. Families should not have to choose between exhaustion and institutional care.
Our founder, Yvonne (Eve) Braden, spent years caring for her own father and saw firsthand that most families are left with only two options. Manage alone or place their loved one in a nursing home. She was led by God to create a third path.
Day respite care that offers professional oversight, meaningful activity, social connection, and dignity.
Today, we serve seniors who need assistance with daily living, supervision, or companionship, but who do not require full-time institutional care. We provide a place where aging adults can remain connected to their community while receiving the care they need. Your generosity keeps this third choice available for families in Salida.
