Capps visits adult day program in Lompoc

Congresswoman Lois Capps, D-Santa Barbara, was in Lompoc on Monday to visit Valley Haven, a nonprofit adult day program for adults who are 55 and older and live at home independently or with family caregivers.

Capps, who represents the 24th Congressional District, helped Valley Haven secure a Department of Veterans contract last year for adult day services for veterans, which allowed these individuals to attend the center free of charge.

“Facilities like Valley Haven provide invaluable services to our local veterans, seniors and their families,” Capps said. “I am always looking for ways to improve access to services for these individuals and to support their caregivers, which is why I was happy to support Valley Haven’s efforts to partner with the U.S. Veterans Administration to provide care for Central Coast veterans."

Capps toured the facility for about an hour Monday.

Valley Haven is located at 502 North Third St. For more information on the organization, call 733-9459.
