Concord Regional VNA Honors Merrimack Co. Nursing Home Hospice Unit Opening

Boscawen, NH—Hospice staff of Concord Regional Visiting Nurse Association presented staff of the Hospice Unit of Merrimack County Nursing Home with books and blankets at the Unit’s recent open house. Both organizations were celebrating the opening of MCNH’s Hospice Unit, which will help meet the need for end-of-life care for those residing in nursing homes.

The books are for the library in the Merrimack County Nursing Home Hospice Unit. The books, on end-of-life caregiving, cultural issues, and grief, are for staff and family/caregivers. The special, comforting blankets are weighted in order to enhance sensory integration and provide sensory support for end-of-life patients residing in MCNH’s Hospice Unit.
