Yesterday afternoon, Cedar Valley Hospice invited the Grow Cedar Valley ambassadors to join us for a ribbon cutting to celebrate our newest community program - GUIDE Dementia Care. Executive Director Michaela Vandersee spoke about the program and the impact it can have on our communities. Ambassadors also had the opportunity to connect with our GUIDE team - nurse practitioners Britney and Erica and care navigators Tiffany and Jaime.

The goals of GUIDE Dementia Care are to improve quality of life for patients living with dementia, reduces the burden on caregivers and prevents or delay long-term nursing home care. This program is provided at no cost to those who qualify.

Thank you to all who joined us for this special occasion during National Hospice & Palliative Care Month! To learn more about GUIDE, visit cvhospice.org/services/guide

Did you know that 1 in 11 youth in the United States will experience the death of a parent or sibling by the time they turn 18?

That number is staggering – but you can help support grieving youth during National Children’s Grief Awareness month by:
💚Educating yourself on how youth grieve
❤️Encouraging grieving youth to share their feelings and actively listen to what they say
💙 Wearing blue on Thursday, Nov. 20 – National Children’s Grief Awareness Day – and share with others why

The memories we hold of our loved ones are more than something to look back on – they are a priceless gift. If you are looking for a meaningful way to show someone you care, consider giving them an ornament from the Cedar Valley Hospice Tree of Love fundraiser. With your heartfelt gift, you’ll receive an ornament (available at a variety of giving levels) and the opportunity to feature a loved one on our online Tribute Wall – a perfect place to share their story.

Purchase an ornament online at cvhospice.org/treeoflove/ or at any Cedar Valley Hospice office (Waterloo Support Center, Grundy Center, Independence, Waverly). If you have questions, please call 319.272.2002.
