WHO WE ARE

The Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) is a nonprofit that has played a critical
role in community-based health care since 1934. We provide hospice and
palliative care, nutritious meals and social connection for homebound seniors,
and serve as the premier aging resource for North Texas.


SERVICES/PROGRAMS

HOSPICE CARE

We help terminally ill patients and their families create a caring and pain-free
environment for their loved ones no matter where they call home.

PALLIATIVE CARE

Our palliative care team helps enhance our patients’ quality of life, ensures
they have the resources needed during treatment and helps patients and families
navigate the complex health care system.

MEALS ON WHEELS

We provide nutritious home-delivered meals and a personal connection for our
clients, helping combat loneliness and social isolation, as well as improving
their overall health.


IMPACT


89 YEARS

VNA has been on the front lines of community-based health care since 1934


THE FIRST

VNA was the first nonprofit hospice provider in the state of Texas in 1978 and
first to pilot Medicare-sponsored home-based palliative care in North Texas in
2018


$10.4 MILLION

VNA Meals on Wheels delivers more than just a meal; we deliver $10.4 million in
annual health care savings for the more than 4,600 seniors we serve


HOW WE SERVE THE COMMUNITY

VNA fosters healthier communities as our aging population grows. We help North
Texans live happier, healthier lives with dignity and respect. We are proud to
be a leading nonprofit, supported by the community since 1934. We are the most
experienced and trusted health care provider for the aging, and we combat food
insecurity among seniors with our Meals on Wheels program.


YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS

The senior population is expected to double by 2050, putting stress on our
already overburdened health care system. As the population grows, so will the
number of people who are homebound and hungry. As a nonprofit organization, we
rely on the generosity of our donors and volunteers. Your support makes our work
possible.

OUR TIME WITH NEVA

As her mother became ill, Barbara made the difficult decision to move her from
her home in Louisiana to an assisted living facility in McKinney closer to
family. Over time, her mother Neva’s health began to decline. Neva began
experiencing frequent falls and going in and out of the hospital. That’s when
Barbara called VNA to provide the comfort and care Neva and her family needed.

“They just became an extension of our family.”
– Barbara, daughter of a VNA Hospice patient

ALZHEIMER’S & DEMENTIA CARE

Our care team is specially trained and certified to care for patients with
Alzheimer’s or dementia. Our goal is to ensure our patients have pain control,
are comfortable and safe, helping to reduce trips to the emergency room or
hospital. Hospice care can also provide a great support to loved ones and
caregivers.

×

HEART FAILURE CARE

VNA manages complex patients with multiple contributing conditions such as renal
failure, pulmonary disease, etc. Our symptom management experts help patients
with symptoms often found in end-stage heart disease such as chest pain,
shortness of breath, edema (swelling), and blood pressure concerns. Our
experienced RNs can also manage supportive intravenous cardiac medications, as
well as infusion lines and complex oxygen needs.

×

CANCER CARE

Your VNA care team is trained to provide the care and education needed for
patients and families facing difficult treatment decisions. In coordination with
your physician and our hospice physicians, our team will address any
treatment-related symptoms, as well as complications that may arise from
stopping treatment. To ensure symptoms are treated quickly, your team will work
with specialized pharmacists to have the necessary medications delivered right
to your home.

×

MUSIC THERAPY

Music has been determined to be a highly effective therapeutic tool for healing
and wellness. It can help remind patients of cherished memories, alleviate pain,
promote relaxation and enhance one’s quality of life. Each music therapy session
is individualized to fit the patient’s requirements. Depending on the needs and
abilities of the patient, the therapy may involve composing a new song, singing
old favorites or even improvising new music with an instrument.

Music is used as a tool to facilitate wellness in a target area such as mental,
physical, spiritual, emotional or cognitive functioning.

×

PET THERAPY

Pets have a unique way of providing companionship and unconditional love for
people. They can help reduce anxiety, stress, depression and loneliness that can
come with facing a terminal illness. When appropriate, pet therapy also promotes
active movement to help improve overall range of motion and strength of our
patients. Pet therapists and the animals we work with are all specially trained
and certified to provide safe companionship as part of a care plan.

MEALS ON WHEELS

VNA Meals on Wheels provides hot, nutritious, freshly prepared meals on weekdays
to Dallas County residents who cannot provide for themselves due to illness,
advanced age or disability. These meals contribute to the overall health and
well-being of participating seniors, including those with chronic illnesses that
are affected by diet, such as diabetes and heart disease, and frail seniors who
are homebound.



×

PALLIATIVE CARE

Palliative care is patient and family-centered care with a goal of optimizing
quality of life by anticipating, preventing and treating suffering. Palliative
care involves addressing physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual
needs and to facilitate patient autonomy, access to information and choice.
Patients may continue to receive curative treatment while using this program.



×

BEREAVEMENT

Bereavement is the process of coping with grief and loss. Feelings of grief and
loss can happen at any time during the course of facing an illness. Dealing with
personal grief is unique to each person. Having experienced, trained
professionals to help you navigate change and loss can help establish a
foundation of healthy grieving. Our bereavement team may visit you in person,
reach out to you over the phone, or host group events and activities.
