January is Alzheimer's Awareness Month
A reminder that the Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia offers a network of Caregiver Support Groups. These groups offer a safe environment where you can learn, share, and help each other through mutual understanding.
They are a good place to:
- Exchange and share information and support
- Expand friendship and social networks
- Decrease loneliness and isolation
- Express feelings
- Learn from others
- Access current information
Virtual Care Giver Support Groups for Bridgewater and Lunenburg are now taking place every 2nd Tuesday of the month via health care for zoom.
For more information please contact the info line at 1-800-611-6345 or Carrie Frazier at cfrazier@hvh.ca
Virtual Education is also available at www.alzheimersociety.ca/ns

Update on Mealtimes at HVH Resident Council has voted in unanimous favor during the March meeting to move the larger meal from lunch time to supper time. This was implemented and residents are enjoying the change based on the majority of feedback collected so far. Special holiday meals will be scheduled for lunches as specified. ~ Food Services Team
Our annual Painted Lady Butterfly project will commence again this spring. We anticipate receiving our Painted Lady caterpillars during the last week of May. We will watch their transition from caterpillars to butterflies, and then release them into the garden park in early June. Stay tuned for details!
