Raise the Region
Thank you to Everyone who donated to The Williamsport Home during the Raise the Region Event. We had over 50 donors and raised over $8,000 dollars! All donations to The Williamsport Home will go toward keeping our campus outdoor spaces beautiful for the enjoyment of our 300+ residents! We are so grateful to everyone that took the time (and money) to make a donation to our facility. Hope you will all stop by and see our beautiful campus once the weather warms up and the flowers and trees begin to bloom!Many recognize the term Hospice Care, which is end-of-life care. Here at The Williamsport Home, we like to use the term Comfort Care.
Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia is a challenging task. Many times as the disease progresses the needs of the person become so great it is very difficult to provide care at home. Many people who suffer from dementia do not sleep well. They often wander and cannot remember how to get back home. They lose the ability to assess dangerous situations such as traffic or terrain. Many women especially will turn on electrical appliances such as stoves but have lost the ability to realize the burners are hot, or they use inappropriate tools or containers on the stove.
