For anyone taking care of dementia patients (or parents), try to go with the flow and adopt a sense of humor. And stay inside their story. Chuck thought he was on a ship so I just agreed with him and we had a great time. ❤️
@SpookySarahSays@navyspook77@BoozyBrownGirl I am always amazed by our care teams' endless dedication, skill and compassion. Glad we can be there for you, your mom and your family.
The day is young and I am going to do some thrift shopping on Cave Creek. I am going to share a secret with you all about thrifting. Always go to the shops sponsored by the Animal Charities and by the Church. That is who old women like me leave the really good stuff to.
@summerbreeze002@CTrevorNelson@CollinYourbs Hospice of the Valley has free grief groups. Before Covid, they were open to everybody. I don’t think that’s changed. They are well done and many of my patients have found it helpful
Trauma is a real fucking bitch.
It’s also absolutely crippling when you can’t find a semi productive therapist.
(Criticism for both sides but reading off a website on zoom verbatim is NOT helpful 🙄) #MentalHealthAwareness
First responders want to be equipped to handle every challenge imaginable. So when Hospice of the Valley offered a novel training exercise that puts firefighters in the shoes of someone living with dementia, they were all in. #AZNEWSMEDIAyourvalley.net/apache-junctio…
The incredible generosity of the community was displayed in grand fashion at Hospice of the Valley’s annual art auction “Aaha! Art. Food. Wine,” where the nonprofit raised a record $650,000 to support innovative dementia care programs for families. citysuntimes.com/business/hospi…
@BCBSAZ Thank you for helping us raise funds for our dementia care programs! We are so grateful for your support and are thrilled you all had such a wonderful time! ♥

@JillyaneMarie Glad you found someone. We are blessed with the services of Hospice of The Valley.They’ve been incredible.When she fell, X-ray tech came to our house. When she had a DVT the ultrasound was done on our couch. One horrible 1 AM fall resulted in many cuts.Nurse was here in 15 min
It has been months of searching and…
Mom and I finally found a part-time caregiver we both like! 🥳
The thing we compromised most on? Medical experience.
That may sound risky or unwise, but honestly, I’ve found it matters most how the caregiver makes my mom FEEL 💜

My mom Carol passed away Oct 17 suffering from Alzheimers for years. We wouldn't have gotten through without help of Hospice of the Valley. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to Hospice of the Valley in memory of my wonderful mom Carol Ronca hov.org/donate/donate-…

Lin Sue Cooney just minds her business and does her Hospice of the Valley commercials while enjoying retirement. That's a real AZ news queen right there
