Our residents were very touched by this generosity. Thank you! 💐💜💙

Today we’re throwing it back to when Maine Veterans’ Homes – Machias had the honor of being the final destination of the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs virtual walk across the country.

We were proud to create this video to help welcome them as they reached the finish line—and even prouder to represent our great state of Maine along the way. 💙 From coast to coast, this journey was a powerful reminder of the unity, respect, and gratitude shared among those who serve Veterans everywhere.

💈 ✂️ Our longtime barber has recently given notice of his retirement, and we are now looking for a licensed barber or hairdresser who would be interested in coming in once a month to provide haircuts for our male residents.

This is a wonderful opportunity to make a meaningful difference and connect with our Veterans while using your professional skills in a truly special way.

If you or someone you know may be interested, please contact:
📞 Lisa at 207-255-2403 for more information or questions.

We appreciate your help in spreading the word and supporting our residents!

🍓🥄 Building our own afternoon snacks with help from a couple of our amazing kitchen crew!

Residents had a great time creating their own fruit parfaits, choosing their favorite layers and toppings while enjoying a hands-on activity. It was a fun, tasty, and interactive way to spend the afternoon—and the results were just as delicious as they look! 😋

🦞 It's no secret, our residents LOVE Lobster!

We are so grateful to welcome Beckham Durkee back again this year for another generous lobster donation. Beckham was joined by his mom and dad, Rylea and Ben Durkee of Jonesport, owners of Bring It Inc., making this a true family act of kindness.

Thank you, Durkee Family, for thinking of our Veterans and helping make their meals extra special. 💕

🌟 Congratulations to Lacey Kalloch! 🌟

We are incredibly proud to celebrate Lacey Kalloch, Social Worker, on receiving the Excellence in Long Term Care Award from the Maine Health Care Association (MHCA).

We are so grateful to have Lacey as part of the MVH family and so proud to see her recognized at the state level for the extraordinary work she does. Please join us in congratulating Lacey on this well-deserved honor! 👏
