Investing in Community Care

Terri and Rob Deits

Terri and Rob Deits

When Rob and Terri Deits became caregivers for Terri’s parents, they benefited from the compassionate support, education, and resources Hospice Napa Valley offered.

“They provided compassionate hospice care to my mom, Patricia, and tremendous caregiver support to my father, Luigi, and me,” Terri says.

Terri has dedicated her career to working with older adults and is now a social worker working collaboratively with palliative, hospice, and adult day care teams.

“The organization regularly brings together stakeholders, providers, and advocates to address unmet needs and gaps—many valuable programs and services were spawned through these collaborations. We are especially excited to see its new PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) grow and expand to enable older individuals to remain living in their community.”

As owner of the Hide and Leather House for 45 years in Napa, Rob has business dealings worldwide, but he—like Terri—wanted to put his support behind his local community.

As the couple was working on their estate plan, it became clear to them that including Providence Community Health Foundation Napa Valley (PCHFNV) was the perfect way to give back and invest in their community for years to come.

“When we decided to set up a trust and were reviewing beneficiaries, we knew we wanted to include PCHFNV,” Terri says. “Their programs are like none I’ve ever seen—they’re phenomenal. The icing on the cake is knowing that PACE will grow to help people remain at home as they age.”

“We want to see great things happen in our community,” Terri says. “Including Providence Community Health Foundation Napa Valley in our trust is our small part in helping make that happen.”
