Caring for the Whole Person.
By Allie Weiner | Administrative Assistant, Cedar Village Foundation

Cedar Village Hospice celebrates the individual and recognizes their unique needs, histories and personalities. We offer services for the whole person, meeting their physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs to ensure that they achieve an optimal quality of life. Cedar Village Hospice is a community, nonprofit organization. Our Hospice services are focused on quality of life for terminally ill patients, those who no longer seek treatments to cure and who are expected to live for six months or less. These services provide comfort without aggressive treatment, focus on quality of life for patients and their families, and are administered by an interdisciplinary team of professionals.
Cedar Village Hospice provides the highest quality care and case management to those with life-limiting illnesses. Patients, families and caregivers are involved in the decision-making process and participate in their plan of care to relieving suffering and providing the best possible quality of life for patients and their families.

Special Treats for hospice residents.
By Sally Korkin | Senior Director, Community Relations and Outreach

At Cedar Village, we provide a continuum of care for the 280 individuals living on our campus. At the end of life, our hospice team including aides, nurses, social workers, clergy and volunteers ensure that all of our hospice patients’ needs are being met and going above and beyond to provide special treats to bring joy to our hospice patients’ last months and days. Ice cream is one of those special pleasures. Our hospice team works with our dining team to provide our hospice patients with their favorite flavor of ice cream with all the trimmings. Often on a beautiful day, the ice cream “parties” take place outside so the patients can enjoy the beautiful scenery. Your donation will help purchase special treats like ice cream!

Volunteers make a difference for Hospice patients

For the individuals who are a part of the Cedar Village Hospice Program, their days are enriched at the end of their lives.
Thanks to a dedicated group of volunteers and their pets, smiles abound on the patients’ faces when a caring volunteer and her dog come to visit. Pet visits are an important part of the comfort and care provided to the hospice patients.
Other volunteers visit with the patients and bring beautiful flowers to brighten their rooms. The volunteers share stories, and often become surrogate family members at the end of life.
“I really enjoy visiting residents and providing them with comfort at this time in their life. Many people I visit just want someone to be there with them and I am able to do that,” said a weekly volunteer for Hospice.
Your donation will help enrich our Cedar Village Hospice patients’ lives.
