Caregiver Support Groups
Caregiver Support Groups are safe places for people in caregiving roles to come together regularly for mutual care and support. These confidential groups provide space to talk, listen and share information, tips and strategies. Groups are facilitated in a non-judgemental, respectful atmosphere – a place where others understand what you are going through and help you realize you are not alone.
• These groups are for care partners.
• Groups are available both in-person and online.
• There is no cost but registration is required.
Please call our Dementia Helpline at 1-800-611-6345 for further information and to register.

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!
