The $2.1 million New Vision campaign is transforming the environment in which we provide licensed nursing care. Thanks to the generosity of many like you, we are 88% of the way toward the goal. Additional gifts of support are greatly appreciated.

Only $255,000 remains of our $2.1 million goal!

Merry Christmas From

Willow Ridge

Willow Ridge is now home to two elders. On November 26th the first two residents of Willow Ridge moved into Frieda House. We are currently waiting for the Ohio Department of Health to conduct a survey of Willow Ridge after which other elders can move to Frieda House and Betty House. Applica-tions have also been submitted for Medicaid and Medicare certifications; a 3-6 month process. When these licenses have been received, all rooms can be occupied. If you would like to visit an elder at Willow Ridge, please call ahead. Betty House– 419-358–1015 x 400 Frieda House– 419-358-1015 x 412
