BILL HUFFER, the Smile Man, lives at the Magic Valley Manor. Practically every day he rides his bicycle just down the street to the old Bert Harbaugh parking lot, and shows people driving by his very simple "Smile" sign. He was also named Wendell's 2011 Volunteer of the year! [more about Bill on our NEWS & HAPPENINGS page.]

Magic Valley Manor Undergoes Renovation

Magic Valley Manor is going through a rebirth. This year (2009) was the 100th birthday of the building. MVM was originally built as a hotel. Later it became the Wendell Hospital. It then sat vacant for several years until it was put back in service as the Magic Valley Manor Nursing Home. Now an assisted living home owned by SafeHaven Health Care, the Magic Valley Manor is undergoing a million-dollar upgrade to modernize, expand and preserve the facility for many years to come.
