🎃👻 Happy Halloween from Gentiva Hospice! 👻🎃

Our team had a spooktacular time celebrating together — we hope your Halloween is filled with laughter, candy, and special memories! 🍬

As you’re out trick-or-treating tonight, please remember to stay safe and watch out for little ghosts and goblins crossing the streets. 🚸✨

Also, consider stopping by a local nursing facility — many residents don’t have nearby family, and they absolutely love seeing trick-or-treaters! A few minutes of your time can make a big difference in someone’s day. 💜

And if you’ve noticed a loved one needing a little more care — maybe more frequent falls, ER visits, or changes in health — it might be time for a second opinion. Gentiva Hospice is here to help, offering comfort, support, and compassionate care when it’s needed most. 💗

📞 Give us a call anytime — we’re happy to answer questions and guide you through your options.

Have a safe and happy Halloween! 🎃🧡
