Vets Visiting Vets “The VVV Program”


It all started late January Juniper Village at Naples Leadership Team Maria and Dinelle met with Vitas Associate MJ and volunteer Veterans Chris and Jim. They told us about a wonderful new program “Vets Visiting Vets” also known as VVV. The VVV is made up of Volunteer Veterans who out of the kindness of the hearts choose to dedicate their free time visiting other Veterans. They have friendly one on one chats of their life stories. 

From this one little meeting a list of our resident Vets was drafted up for visitation to start. By the middle of February we had a group of volunteer Veterans and Juniper residents meet for a one time group social to pair up friendships. It is the goal of Chris and Jim’s of the VVV to pair just the right personality between the volunteer and residents. Here it is shortlyone month later and we have 3 residents who have visitors coming weekly. The joy we see on our residents face after their visit is priceless.
