Last week, while on their fall break, two Hayden Catholic High School students stopped by our office to generously donate some handmade rice hot (or cold) packs. These rice bags can be heated or chilled and used for pain relief. Items like these are greatly appreciated by our patients. Thank you to Lana and Annabelle for this generous donation and for taking time out of their fall break to deliver them!

We’re thankful for our hardworking, dedicated staff; for our incredible community that has supported our mission to care for everyone in need, regardless of their ability to pay, for the last 56 years; and for the honor of walking alongside our patients and their families during some of life’s most vulnerable moments.

Wishing you a safe, joyful day with the people you love. 🧡🍂

November is National Home Health and Hospice month! It is the time to recognize and celebrate the crucial work of those who provide in-home care. One of the ways we celebrate the great work of our staff is with our annual employee appreciation dinner. We gathered last Friday to enjoy a delicious meal together while celebrating the hard work done throughout the year. Part of this fun celebration includes announcing the Marceil Lauppe Employee of the Year. We're proud to recognize the wonderful care that this nurse provides to her patients and the support she provides to her coworkers. Congratulations to Nonie, VNA's 2025 Marceil Lauppe Employee of the Year!

We always try to recognize and support Veterans who are receiving our Hospice services through our We Honor Veterans program, but today especially we want to thank all who served. Thank you to all of the Veterans in our community and throughout the country for all that you've done and the sacrifices you've made! We joined many of our fellow community members and organizations in honoring our Veterans at the Lawrence KS Veteran's Day Parade on Saturday! It was a wonderful celebration of our Veterans. We were grateful to be a part of it.

Join us in wishing a very happy 100th birthday to Arvilla! We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to stop by for a birthday surprise and share a little bit of Arvilla's very special day with her. Arvilla has a long history with VNA. She worked for VNA for 16 years starting in 1985. She then volunteered in VNA's office for many years, only stepping away from that role in the last year or two. After her many years of service to VNA, she is now receiving Home Health care. Thank you to her Physical Therapist, Libby, for helping to arrange this fun birthday surprise! Congratulations to Arvilla on reaching this incredible milestone! Happy 100th Birthday!

October is National Physical Therapy Month! Physical Therapy (PT) is a crucial part of Visiting Nurses Home Health care services. PT helps patients maintain or regain their independence by improving mobility, reducing fall risk, and managing pain. PT is crucial for patients returning home from the hospital following an injury, illness, or surgery. Our Physical Therapists and Physical Therapist Assistants help these patients build strength and increase flexibility to allow them to move and navigate their environment safely and with less pain. Our PT staff are vital in improving our patients' quality of life and helping them reach their goals.

Since 1969, Visiting Nurses has been Douglas County's local, not-for-profit home care provider. As an organization that was founded to meet the needs of this community and has always adapted to continue to do so, we started with Home Health, added Hospice in 1981, and then further expanded our continuum of care with Help at Home (private duty) in 2009. All of these programs serve our mission of "improving quality of life through compassionate patient care, wherever you call home" and will continue to do so for many years to come! For all your home care needs, contact Visiting Nurses.
