Northwest Village Testomonials
“Just wanted to say how impressed I am with this operation - I've had several queries answered with good information. Keep it up!”- SP, NNV member

“When my sister, who managed our affairs, had a stroke, NNV called to see if they could help. They took me to the hospital and nursing home for visits three times a week and then helped transport my sister to our home. They recommended a service to provide daily assistance. They took me grocery shopping and errand running. I don’t drive. They have been wonderful and caring.” -  RFS, NNV member

“Ideally, I needed a housekeeper and caretaker to help me settle back into daily living.  I wish that NNV had been available to provide all these services, leaving my family free of extra work and worry.”  FP, NNV member

“I enjoyed the picnic so much.  We're only sorry we couldn't get there sooner and meet more people.  It was a rare treat for both of us to be out among people.  Our life consists of doctors.”  GS, NNV member

“We see volunteering for NNV as a way to help our neighbors and make a contribution to our immediate community.” - B & SW, NNV Volunteers

“The visit to Lincoln's Cottage was a splendid experience, with a really interesting, informative program. Thank you so much for following up and facilitating the admissions process.”  IR, NNV member
