Cherished Hopes

Every individual has a hope or a dream — something they would love to do, somewhere they would love to go, or someone they long to see.

 

Cherished Hopes is an NDLTCA program that helps member organizations bring meaningful, personal wishes to life for the individuals they serve.

Who can apply for a Cherished Hope?
Individuals receiving care or services through NDLTCA member organizations in North Dakota, including nursing facilities, basic care, assisted living, home care, home health, hospice and QSP services.

 

How is funding decided?
A committee reviews each request for eligibility and feasibility. The ND Long Term Care Foundation reserves the right to approve or deny any request.
Itemized expenses are required. Photos and a brief story are due within 30 days after the hope is fulfilled.

 

How are wishes funded?
Twice a year, during NDLTCA’s convention and fall conference events, raffles are held to raise funds.

 

A few wishes that have been granted to residents/tenants:

  • A leg brace not covered by insurance.
  • A printer for photos of loved ones.
  • A pizza party with relatives.
  • A trip to Stump Lake Threshing Bee.
  • A refrigerator for an individual’s room.
  • Cowboy boots and western clothing.
  • A bull-riding event, a new guitar, and a companion puppy.
