Caring for Families...

As part of LVC4S continuing commitment to support our those in need in our community, this month our staff teamed up to provide "care baskets" for families and caregivers of hospice patients at Cedarbrook Nursing Home. This special project was inspired by our Clinical Manager, Charle-lene Schrantz, who has a special connection to Cedarbrook.

Our Front Office Staff was happy to donate to the cause!









Over the past six weeks, our staff members collected items for "Care Baskets" that will be provided to families whose loved ones are in hospice care.  These baskets include items to make family members more comfortable during their visits to the hospice at Cedarbrook, which often include overnight stays.  








The Clinical Staff at LVC4S are a generous bunch!

We collected  include toothbrushes, toothpaste, small packs of tissues, wash cloths, pens, pencils, pads of paper, note cards, puzzle books, and snack items.  These small comfort items can mean a great deal at a difficult time.



Andrea Ellwood of Cedarbrook extended a heartfelt thank you to the LVC4S staff for the donations.  She noted that this effort will make a tremendous impact on their ability to comfort families.
