Second Wind Dreams

Smiling elderly couple
Ridgeview Health Services is pleased to be a partner of Second Wind Dreams, a nonprofit organization which works to grant the wishes and dreams of senior citizens. Together, we are listening to the dreams of our residents and striving to make them become realities.

At Ridgeview Health Services, we believe in the power of dreams, and that having dreams is important at every age. Dreams stimulate our hearts and minds and make us stretch both mentally and physically.

When dreams seem unattainable, as is true for many seniors, the power of dreams is diminished and hope fades. We let our residents know that their dreams are worth pursuing and can be attained with a little help from friends.

A few of the dreams which have come true for our residents:

  • earning a high school diploma
  • learning to play the piano
  • shopping trips
  • rides in a limousine
  • attending concerts and college football games
  • cosmetic makeovers
  • …and many more!
