From Our Senior Clients
The day I found Heart of the Valley, is the day that improved my situation forever! Thank you all for the caring services you provide.
—Alice
Thank you so much for all the help you have given me and for all the wonderful work you do! You should be called, Heroes of the Valley.
—Shirley
You’ve got “heart” above all else. I called everyone, no one would help. Then I reached your number and a voice of an angel answered and said Heart of the Valley would send someone over. Did I ever get lucky!
