Nursing Home/Hospital Transition
Assist people, age 60 and over, returning home after recuperation at a health care center or hospital.
 VINE Faith in Action staff will meet with a care receiver prior to discharge from the health care center to develop a plan of care. Services are coordinated with the health care team, family care receiver and VINE volunteers. Our volunteers will provide assistance with non-professional services for up to four weeks after a care receiver returns home. Please call Mary Wichtendahl to register with VINE.
Volunteer services may include:
- Transportation to the doctor or grocery store
- Household and yard chores
- Running errands
- Meal preparations
- Reassurance phone calls
- Friendly visiting
Volunteers will generally be available Monday through Saturday.
There is no formal charge for this program, but we ask those who receive help to be as generous as possible with donations to our organization.
To learn more about the Nursing Home/Hospital Transition Program for your family member, or to volunteer, contact Mary Wichtendahl at 507-387-1666 or send her an e-mail at maryw@vinevolunteers.com.
