December is Family Month! – Get together with your loved ones to work on projects that benefit children and families.

The Dictionaries have been distributed to the third graders in all locations; Baudette, Rainy River, and Indus, and St. Thomas School in Int’l Falls. The remaining dictionaries will be given to Lake of the Woods School and provided to the home schooled students in the area.

Program: LakeWood Hospice and Home Care
Melody Otto talked about the LakeWood Home Care and Hospice Program.

Melody is originally from the Duluth area and relatively new to Baudette. She has been a LPN for 28 years.

The Home Care Program is a transition program focusing on transitioning patients from care facilities to their homes. Patients often work with an occupational/physical therapist as the relearn the skills that they need to live at home after injury or illness. LakeWood Hospice and Home Care serves northern Roseau County, Lake of the Woods County and Kooch County just past Birchdale.

The Hospice program consists of nursing staff and community volunteers who provide care to patients in their homes.

For either of these programs a referral can come from anywhere. Contact Melody or Mindy at 218-634-1795 if you know someone who could use this type of help. Consultations are free.
