Dear Friends,
 

The past few years have seen many changes and challenges in our economy. Cost of living continues to rise, as well as medical costs and care. However, because of the generosity of the Towns of Dexter, Garland and Ripley, the Plummer Foundation and through gifts from you, the citizens of these Towns, we have been able to continue to offer in home nursing care to anyone who is in need in our area, completely free of charge. Our services have not changed from those listed in previous years. They include but are not limited to the following:

​

• Nurses available for home visits Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

• Visits to any area Dexter, Garland, and Ripley home.

• Blood pressure clinics are on hold for now.

• Monthly blood pressure clinics at each of the four senior citizen housing complexes in Dexter.

• Assistance with dressing changes, diabetic teaching, Blood Pressure, Lung Assessments, and many other areas of personal care as well as physician-ordered care.

​

Any donation you can make at this time will be very much appreciated! Thank you for your continued support.
