A Senior Wish to go Fishing is Granted

The Community Nursing Services Senior Wish Program continues to help fulfill the personal life wishes of Utah’s seniors.  Our Senior Wish Program Coordinator has had an exciting and busy Summer!

Joe, a home health patient in the CNS West office loves to fish, but hasn’t had the opportunity to go fishing for several years.  Thanks to his nurse Amber and a generous donation by professional fly fisherman, Steve Cook, Joe’s Senior Wish became a reality.  On a recent beautiful September day, Joe was treated to an all day fishing adventure.  He thoroughly enjoyed his day out fishing, especially when they caught several fish!

Senior Wish

CNS patient Donald Pond, a veteran and Pearl Harbor survivor, always wanted to ride the UTA FrontRunner train from Ogden to Salt Lake.

The CNS Senior Wish Program helped make his Senior Wish come true. Donald, his son, daughter and grandson rode the train to Salt Lake then transferred to TRAX for the ride to the Gateway. They had lunch at Applebee’s, a tour of the Gateway, Olympic Fountain and Clark Planetarium.

Hospice & Music Thanatology

Music thanatology is a vital part of hospice care for patients struggling with terminal illness. As part of a hospice team, the music thanatologist soothes and comforts each patient with prescriptive musical sessions. This proven therapy helps both patient and family.
