At Elara Caring Hospice, it’s the little moments of connection that mean the most—and sometimes, those moments come with four paws and a wagging tail. 💛

We’re proud to introduce two very special members of our volunteer family: Linda French and her beloved companion, Lucy.

Lucy is a certified therapy dog, and alongside Linda, this incredible duo brings comfort, companionship, and joy to our patients and their families. Whether it’s a gentle nuzzle, a quiet visit, or simply sharing a smile, Linda and Lucy have a remarkable way of brightening even the hardest days.

Their visits remind us all that compassion comes in many forms—and that sometimes, the most meaningful care is simply being present.

Thank you, Linda and Lucy, for the love and light you bring wherever you go. 🐾

🇺🇸 Honoring a True American Hero 🇺🇸

Last Sunday, Elara Caring Hospice-Ardmore had the profound honor of recognizing a true hero — Mr. Hodges — with a beautiful and heartfelt Veteran Pinning Ceremony.

Mr. Hodges proudly served in the United States Navy as a shipfitter during the Vietnam conflict. In this vital role, he was responsible for the construction, repair, and maintenance of naval ships, helping ensure their strength, safety, and seaworthiness. His hands helped build the very vessels that protected our nation. He retired from the Navy with honors — a testament to his dedication, integrity, and commitment to service.

Surrounded by family, friends, and our Elara Caring team, we gathered to express our deepest gratitude for his sacrifice and unwavering devotion to our country. There were moments of reflection, appreciation, and heartfelt thanks — reminders of the courage and resilience carried by those who serve.
At Elara Caring, we take great pride in honoring our veterans. It is a sacred privilege to recognize the brave men and women who have defended our freedoms.

Mr. Hodges, we thank you for your service. We thank you for your sacrifice. And we are forever grateful.
❤️🤍💙

Huge thanks to the amazing seniors @ HFV Wilson Community Center! 🧡

I had such a great time chatting with you all and sharing the incredible work our local Ardmore Elara Caring Hospice ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ team is doing right here in our community. It was an honor to talk about the true benefits of hospice care and help break the stigma that still surrounds it.

Hospice isn’t about giving up — it’s about living with dignity, comfort, and support.

✨ Seniors — did you know you have FREE Medicare benefits available to you?

If you have questions or want to learn more, I’m always happy to help.
