Meet the Gaither Family
The Gaither Family has owned and operated the Valley Comfort assisted living community for decades — nearly 30 years to be exact. We’re taking that experience and expertise to our newest facility, The Grove Memory Care, specially dedicated to serve residents who suffer from dementia or Alzheimer’s.
Glenda would drive down to visit frequently and was not satisfied with the overall care that her grandmother was receiving. Every random visit a major issue arose (soiled, miscommunication by staff, over medicated, etc.). Glenda had finally decided to take matters into her own hands and spoke with her aunt who was also in the industry about how to start a care home of her own. Thus, Valley Comfort was born as a 6 bed residential care facility. Over the years, Valley Comfort grew into three 6 bed facilities and 1 eight bed facility strictly by word of mouth. It got to the point that Dale, Glenda’s husband, eventually had to quit his job and assist with the rapid growth to fulfill their dream.
Glenda Gaither’s grandmother had a massive stroke in the Fresno area and was required to move into a nursing facility, due to her physical deterioration.
Our History
1989
Glenda and Dale built our current location to consolidate the several care homes under one roof and so our 48 bed location was opened.
Building a Dream
Glenda and Dale added another 44 beds of assisted living to care for a wider range of clientele due to the demand for their services.
The couple’s son Chris Gaither, currently the Administrator, joined the company and worked every position. This helped him gain the knowledge and experience to further himself with the company.
Nick Gaither, the younger son and currently the assistant Administrator, also joined the Valley Comfort staff and went through the same training to ensure his heart and compassion were as dedicated to the rest of the family’s hard work.
The dream of expanding became a reality! Nick and Chris acquired and opened The Grove Memory Care. After completing a full remodel, The Grove is looking better than ever — still here providing the same quality care you and your family deserve.
