What Families, Caregivers, Clients, and Donors Are Saying About Us
Testimonials
The Volen Center in Boca Raton has been such a blessing for my mother and me. From the very first day, the staff has gone above and beyond to make her feel welcome, comfortable, and truly cared for. Every interaction has been filled with kindness, warmth, and genuine attention. We’ve had the pleasure of meeting SJ, Valerie, John, Judy, Ilene, and of course April, and each of them has made such a positive impact. They greet my mother with a smile, take the time to engage with her, and create an environment where she feels like she truly belongs. Their caring nature has made her look forward to coming every single day, which speaks volumes about the heart of this team. In addition to the warm staff, my mother now enjoys participating in chair exercise class with Blanca, art class with Paula, daily trips, and the live entertainment. These activities have added so much joy to her days and have truly enriched her life. As a teacher, I know that when I go back to school, I will feel completely at ease—much like a parent leaving a child at school for the first time—because I know my mother is in good hands. I can drop her off in the morning with confidence and pick her up after, knowing she has been cared for, engaged, and happy. Thank you to the wonderful staff at the Volen Center for treating my mother not just as a guest, but as part of a family. Your compassion and dedication do not go unnoticed, and we are so deeply grateful for all that you do.

My family started the June Bleiwise Foundation, after my Mother passed away. We were so impressed with Liz Lugo and her staff that there was no hesitation as
we contributed immediately.

We have made provision for the Volen Center in our estate planning because of its wide variety of meaningful programs which enhance the daily lives of seniors in our community. The continued growth and vitality of the Volen Center will enrich the quality of life for so many in Palm Beach County.

Dr. Scott has been a regular weekly visitor at the Volen Center in Boca Raton, FL for over three years. The staff and administration are what set this place apart from other places. He is warmly welcomed each morning by the staff. They are encouraging and cheering him on throughout the day! They have activities that make the day more fun and exciting. He gets lunch and snacks during the day, which are nutritious. He always says how good the food is at the Volen Center. This community has supported and encouraged my dad and our family so much. The Volen Center gives him a safe place to socialize and see warm and friendly faces, while giving our family a break from the challenges of being fulltime caregivers. We are VERY thankful he can be part of your program that benefits him so much.

I am so grateful to The Volen Center for taking such wonderful care of my husband, who has Alzheimer 's , for the past three years. The staff at the center and the transportation drivers are there for me and my husband 100% every day. They go above and beyond in making sure both our needs are met and always with a smile and professionalism. My husband is also provided, by The Volen Center, an aide for him on the weekends. The relationship we have developed with her, for over a year now, has helped me tremendously when I know my husband is in such great care while I run errands and go to appointments. She is fun, caring , and a good listener. I have told many people about The Volen Center and what a great service they are to our community and a lifesaver to us! I can' t thank them enough for everything they do to help me deal with such a horrible disease.
Our blessings to all!

"I would like to thank you for the services my 94 ½ year old dad recently started receiving from the Volen Center. He has been on the Medicaid waiting list for a long while and we were delighted to receive a call late 2023 from the Volen Center letting us know there was a way to assist my dad with paying for his home care expenses, which are significant and leave him with little financial resources.
I have been so pleased with the courteous staff and efficiency of his onboarding process. Thank you to you and your team for all the great work you do."
