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
In Person and Virtual Care Giver Support Groups
are now taking place every 2nd Tuesday of the month.

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!
