Fulfilling Dreams

Each of our residents brings with them a lifetime of memories and dreams. Shepherd’s Foundation is dedicated to honoring those memories and dreams by making some of our resident’s most cherished wishes come true. Whether they want to visit their hometown, sit in the front row of a Broadway show or gather family and friends for an ice cream social, no dream is too big or too small!

To fulfill these dreams, we depend on financial support from individuals and corporations. Every donation goes toward providing a meaningful and well-deserved lifestyle for those we serve.

The Memory Garden at Shepherd of the Valley

This unique space is being designed specifically to meet the needs of seniors with Alzheimer's and dementia, providing them with a safe and supportive environment where they can enjoy the outdoors, relax, and socialize.

We are currently in the development and planning phase of the project, but we are excited to open the Memory Garden to our residents in the near future. In the meantime, learn more about the garden and how you can get involved.
