COASTLINE COMMUNIT Y F O U N DAT I O N Congratulations to the Macleay Valley Home Hospice who were the recipients of the second round of grants in 2021. The Macleay Valley Home Hospice is a charitable organisation run entirely by volunteers. The organisation is funded solely by donations and fundraising activities. The short and long term goals for MVHH are orientated towards family peace of mind and mental health. The MVHH aims to give families the opportunity to spend quality time with their loved ones in the familiarity of their own homes. This allows families
to create lovely memories as well as reducing travel time to hospitals or nursing homes. The main beneficiary of the project will be the patient using the bed. Hospital beds provide comfort to the patient, enables the patient to be able to sit or lie in the beds with greater comfort and more easily than a normal bed. Care can be administered more easily by the carer or service provider to the patient, as the beds can change in height and positions. Most importantly, by providing this equipment in the homes of patients, it allows the patient to be cared for in
their own home easier and for longer if that is the choice of the patient and their family. The not for profit organisation kindly visited our Community Hub to show us the new palliative care beds they purchased for their clients with the grant funding. The beds offer comfort and practicality for the patients and their carers and enable the patients to stay home safely. Watch the video here www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcSEWRNXg4w
