Dan has worked at Menno Place for just over three years. He has 16 years of combined experience working in residential care and as an employment coordinator, assisting individuals with mental health and developmental disabilities with finding and maintaining work in their community. He is an incredible asset at Menno Place.
Today, we asked him a couple questions to get to know him better!
There are lots of exciting things happening in the next month! Check out what’s going on…
With the sun shining, the balloons up and the ribbon hung, Menno Place gathered for the grand opening of the putting green and lawn bowling alley. As BC’s largest campus of care, with over 700 residents, Menno Place is continually finding new ways to promote healthy and energetic living for seniors. There was an air of childlike excitement, as everyone knew that in just a few minutes they would get to play…
There are 12 brand new, lovely benches at Menno Place.
Donate a bench to honour a loved one…
In the last several months there have been some exciting additions to the Menno Place campus, and we are so thankful…
Menno Place hosted their second annual Butterfly Release Celebration for seniors, families, and staff in the beautifully landscaped courtyard in the center of the 11-acre campus of care in Abbotsford.
Residents, family members, and staff were encouraged to purchase butterflies for release on this very special occasion…
