💚 Five honors. One mission. 💚

We are incredibly honored and humbled to share that St. Paul Elder Services has been named 2026 Best of the Valley in five categories:
🏆 Assisted Living / Senior Living
🏆 Memory Care
🏆 Nursing Home
🏆 Rehabilitation Facility
🏆 Retirement / 55+ Community

These awards are more than recognition of our services; they are a reflection of the incredible people who faithfully live our mission every single day.

To every associate, thank you. Your compassion, dedication, and commitment to serving others make St. Paul a place where older adults are not only cared for, but truly known, valued, and loved.

To those we serve, their loved ones, our volunteers, donors, and community partners, thank you for walking alongside us and placing your trust in our ministry. Being invited into your lives is a privilege we never take for granted, and we are grateful for the opportunity to serve you each day.

As we celebrate this recognition, we also celebrate the generations of compassionate care that have brought us to this moment. For more than a century, our mission has remained steadfast, even as the needs of those we serve continue to evolve. We are excited for what lies ahead and look forward to building on this legacy as we continue serving our community for generations to come.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping make St. Paul Elder Services Fox Valley's Best. 💚

🌭 It may have been a bad day to be a hot dog... but it was a GREAT day to have lunch at the Villa! ❤️

With the smoky air and hot temperatures, we moved our annual Villa Hot Dog Frenzy indoors, but that didn't stop anyone from having a great time!

Our Friends enjoyed hot dogs with all the fixings, classic cookout favorites, great conversation, and plenty of laughs. And can we talk about those "Bad Day to Be a Hot Dog" shirts? We think they were a hit! 🌭❤️

Rain or shine, inside or outside, what matters most is spending time together, and this crew knows how to make any day a fun one.

You know it’s going to be a good day when someone turns on the music… 🎶💚

This week at Club Gabe, one song was all it took to get an impromptu dance party started! Our Friends and associates shared a few dances, plenty of laughs, and reminded us that joy has a way of showing up when you least expect it.

Club Gabe is St. Paul’s state-certified adult day program for individuals living with memory loss or dementia. Through meaningful activities, friendship, and compassionate care, members enjoy engaging days while their caregivers have the opportunity to rest, recharge, or simply take care of life’s to-do list knowing their loved one is in good hands.

💚 Looking for a meaningful way to make a difference? Become an ElderMatch volunteer!

A simple phone call, a visit, or a handwritten card can brighten someone's day more than you know.

Through ElderMatch, volunteers are matched with older adults (60+) in Outagamie County who are experiencing social isolation or loneliness. By spending just a little time connecting with someone, you can help build friendships, reduce loneliness, and remind someone they're not alone.

You choose how you connect:
📞 Phone calls
🏡 In-person visits
💌 Cards and letters

If you have a compassionate heart and a little time to share, we'd love to match you with someone who could benefit from your friendship.

To learn more about becoming an ElderMatch volunteer, call 920-766-6020 ext. 108.

Together, we can create meaningful connections—one match at a time. 💚
