Before becoming a Community Care participant, Anne Kiekhofer was afraid that a move to a nursing home was in her future. It saddened her to think she would have to move out of her home and not live with her husband Tom.

Anne is a quadriplegic due to having multiple sclerosis for more than 30 years. Over the years, her condition has worsened, but it hasn’t slowed her down.

With Community Care’s support and help from Tom, Anne continues to live at home and has an active role in her community. She spends time with people she enjoys, all while receiving excellent health care.

Anne sees her interdisciplinary team at Community Care’s Adult Day Health Center several times a week. The team of a physician, registered nurse, therapists and social worker are able to monitor and adjust her care to meet her changing needs. This proactive approach to health and long-term care has made Anne’s life “the best it can be,” she says. She calls Community Care “a Godsend.”
