Friday April 16th is National Healthcare Decisions Day! This day stresses the importance of advance care planning and talking with your loved ones about your health care wishes. Advance care planning includes an advance directive (a.k.a. a living will, a written document that explains what types of treatment you do or do not want) and appointing a healthcare power of attorney (someone who makes healthcare decisions for you if you are unable to speak for yourself). It’s so important to plan ahead so we can ensure our wishes are respected.

Your Decisions Matter is hosting 3 lunchtime webinars and we hope you can attend! See the attached flyers for more detail. You can find more information about Your Decisions Matter on the SAGE Eldercare website here https://sageeldercare.org/your-decisions-matter/

A heartfelt thank you to the Westminster Comforters group for the 80+ hand sewn place mats you made for our Meals on Wheels clients. Everyone was so touched to receive these beautiful and thoughtful gifts. The Westminster Comforters meet (during non-Covid times) at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Berkeley Heights. The group is a mix of church members and non-members from the local area who like to quilt.
Thank you so much to the group for your kindness.
