Under the direction of Lolly Miller, Arts & Education Program Manager, an innovative endeavor- Angels Among Us Symposium- was recently held on our campus. Together we explored how angels live with us in everyday life and show up in unexpected ways. Following a keynote speaker, we took a look at the theme through the lens of the creative arts- reflective writing, music-making, a lyrical ballet and a dramatic skit based on a true story. The rich environment encouraged a great deal of personal reflection and social interaction. It was a unique way to encourage each of us to age well and live fully!

Residents and team members were delighted to be on the shady hilltop of the VMRC Farm this Wednesday for Hilltop Reflections. Peg Engle read a reflection by Jim Engle – a thoughtful perspective on science and scripture, God’s incomprehensibility, and metamorphosis. A new resident in attendance (who just moved in on Monday) commented, “Well this sure is a view!” Thanks to our Farm crew, Life Enrichment team, and all who contribute to this unique and meaningful VMRC experience.

It was a night of fun, laughter, fellowship and love!

A tucked-in sheet, a folded-up newspaper, a smile — all of these begin to culminate in the whole reason VMRC exists. We’re here to spread love and support our residents and employees, which we hope will not just make us better but also the community we serve. Sometimes, it is the little things that make the most significant difference. #spreadlove #thelittlethings #betteringthecommunity #retirementcommunity #harrisonburgva

At VMRC, volunteers do more than just provide company – they create meaningful connections and enrich lives. Meet Pam, a VMRC volunteer since 2023. After losing her mother, she sought to give back and found herself drawn to VMRC, where she met Margie. Since then, Pam and Margie’s bond blossomed into a beautiful friendship full of laughter and fun. For Pam, volunteering is a source of joy, fulfillment, and purpose. Her experience shows that sometimes, the greatest gifts come from unexpected opportunities. Be part of a community where every interaction is a chance to make a difference in someone’s life. #VMRC #harrisonburgva #changelives #volunteer #assistedliving #vmrcvalues
