"We remember those we have lost at Christmas, but may the love and support of those around you bring light to this time." 🙏🏽 🎄

At the end of life—
the only thing that truly matters
is love.

Who we loved.
How we loved.
How deeply we allowed ourselves
to receive love.

When we understand this,
life opens—
gentler, wider,
and infinitely more sacred.

Giving Tuesday is about simple acts that bring comfort close to home. You can volunteer time for friendly visits or short caregiver breaks, host a small comfort item drive for blankets, lotion, lip balm, or puzzles, write a thank you note to a caregiver or a veteran in hospice, share this post with a family who may need help, or sponsor a legacy project like recording a life story or creating a memory book. Every gesture matters and every bit of kindness is felt.

This Thanksgiving we slow down and notice the small moments. A quiet laugh. A favorite recipe. A hand to hold. Keep plans simple, pace the day, and choose one meaningful ritual that everyone can share. If symptoms change or stress rises, you are not alone. Call for more info (956) 532-7983.

Research shows that spiritual support from the care team can change the experience of serious illness in meaningful ways. People are more likely to choose hospice, less likely to receive aggressive treatments that do not match their goals, and families feel more at peace with the plan. Spiritual care is offered according to each person’s beliefs and values. If you want to see how this support can fit your situation, call for more info

Small changes make care at home safer and calmer. Start here:

• Clear walkways and cords on main paths
• Add a night light on the route to the bathroom
• Keep a one page med list and today’s symptom notes in one place
• Post the 24 7 number by the phone and on the fridge
• Place a sturdy chair near the entry for rest breaks
• Use non slip socks or shoes with good grip
• Keep water and a phone within easy reach at the bedside
• Consider grab bars or a shower chair if balance is a concern

What would 29 more days mean for your family

One more Sunday dinner

One more story told in a quiet living room

One more chance to say what matters

Real world Medicare data shows that people who chose hospice lived about one month longer on average than similar patients who did not. Earlier comfort focused care can calm symptoms, reduce crises, and give families more present time together.

Today we pause with respect and gratitude for every veteran and military family. Your service and sacrifice matter. If a veteran in your life is living with serious illness, hospice can bring comfort at home and support for the whole family. Care focuses on relief from pain and other symptoms, calm guidance for decisions, spiritual and emotional support, and a team you can call day and night. When available we also offer veteran to veteran companionship and help you connect with local resources and benefits.
