We are proud to announce that Community Nursing Services has been recognized as a level 1 Age-Friendly Health System. We are one of the very first home health agencies to be recognized in the state of Utah. At CNS, we are dedicated to integrating the 4M principles into our home health and hospice programs, offering specialized care that meets the diverse needs of our patients. Whether through providing comfort and dignity in hospice care or delivering high-quality, cost-effective home health services, we aim to support each patient in their preferred environment while respecting their personal goals and preferences.

The CNS Bereavement Program was developed out of a need to support grieving families, as well as those who are dying and grieving the end of their own lives. It was also developed to provide enhanced training and education for our clinical staff who support our patients and their families through their grief journeys.

Grieving is a complex journey, especially for children who may struggle to express their emotions or understand their profound loss. The Community Nursing Services (CNS) Bereavement Program recently launched its Children’s Grief Backpacks initiative as a beacon of support for these young hearts, offering them a unique blend of comfort and tools to help them navigate their grief. This project is crafted with empathy and understanding, aiming to guide children through one of life's most challenging experiences.

Did you know that more than one out of four persons older than 65 fall each year and over 3 million are treated in the emergency departments annually for  fall injuries. 

As a home health and hospice agency, CNS can play a major role in fall prevention and can greatly assist patients in staying safe in their home! Our team of skilled clinicians will assess potential fall risks and provide recommendations to patients and families to prevent falls and improve overall safety in the home. There is a lot we can do to help keep our patients safe!

Community Nursing Services (CNS) will miss a valued friend and volunteer, Retired Technical Sergeant Garry Bell.  He died on July 9, 2024 after a courageous battle with cancer.
