Doug helping care for the chickens this morning, just as he has all Winter.🐔💛

Nine hens now call the Morning Light Home their home. They lay fresh eggs and have become gentle companions to many of our more mobile residents.

Doug has been a resident with us since the fall and remains a deeply active part of life here. While the average stay at Morning Light is around six weeks, it can range from just a few days to years, depending on each person’s health and journey. Our philosophy is simple: the longer someone can truly call Morning Light home, the better. It’s about friendship, connection, belonging, and peace through their terminal illness.

Doug embodies that spirit. He runs bingo, has built deep friendships across the home, and shares a special bond with our feathered residents. Here he is keeping them fed in their coop and backyard run, and a pic from when the snow was a foot deep. The Morning Light Chicks are always happy to see Doug, and like all of us, they seem glad that winter is loosening its grip and spring is in sight. 🌱💙🏡

A few days ago, we shared a warm welcome to William, one of our newest residents here at the Morning Light Home. As part of our Making Memories program, where we help bring last wishes to life, we shared that William is a lifelong jazz lover and musician, and that we hoped to surround him with the music he loves.

Thanks to so many amazing people in our community who saw that post, something beautiful has already begun to unfold. 💛

We are deeply grateful to everyone who has reached out, offered ideas, or shared connections, your kindness and willingness to help make this moment possible mean more than we can say!

Special thanks to William’s new friend Joseph Haskins Jr, who stopped by to visit and begin shaping what we hope will be a very special live jazz performance just for him. Jazz Kitchen Joseph L Haskins Jr

Updates to come! 🎶

We were delighted to welcome back Haley Gilroy, Executive Director of Healthcare Initiatives, to the Morning Light Home.

Healthcare Initiatives has been a valued past funder of our mission, and Haley’s visit gave us a chance to share updates on how community support continues to sustain compassionate, dignified care for individuals in desperate need.

We’re grateful for partners like Healthcare Initiatives who recognize the importance of ensuring that individuals on hospice, often with nowhere else to go, can find safety, comfort, and home at Morning Light.

Please join us in welcoming William to the Morning Light Home. Here he is with Kate, who brightened the morning by bringing in a tray of Dunkin’ doughnuts to share with the residents.

William is a lifelong lover of jazz music and, in happier times, was a drummer himself. Music has always been close to his heart, and we would love to honor that by bringing live jazz into the home as a Making Memories moment just for him.

We’ll be reaching out to The Jazz Kitchen, but if you have connections to local jazz musicians who might be willing to play a short set here at Morning Light, we would be so grateful. Together, we can help make this amazing man’s day and surround him with the music he loves.

We’ll keep you posted as plans unfold — and for now, a heartfelt welcome to William. Your Morning Light family is so glad you’re here.

On Saturday evening, members of the Morning Light team were honored to attend the United Way of Central Indiana ELEVATE Awards, a celebration of service and leadership across our nonprofit community.

We were so proud to see Karen Adan, our Director of Proramming, reorganized as a Nonprofit Employee of the Year nominee, a meaningful acknowledgment of the compassion, creativity, and dedication she brings to Morning Light and to those we serve each day.

It was a lovely evening celebrating many leading lights across Indiana’s nonprofit sector, and a special moment for our team to be there together in support of Karen and the mission we share.

A hearty thank-you to Charise Dunlap, who recently stopped by the Morning Light Home with thoughtful donations of treats for our caregivers. These small treats bring real comfort during the long days and nights of caring that sit at the very heart of our mission.

During her visit, Charise also met Dominique again, one of our newest caregivers and a proud graduate of the Morning Light CNA training program that Charise leads in our upstairs training center several times each year. It’s always special to see that full circle, from classroom to compassionate care at the bedside.

Thank you, Charise, for all you do to nurture the next generation of caregivers with Morning Light, and welcome, Dominique! 🏡💙

A small act of creativity, a big gift of love 💛

Wishing a very happy 93rd birthday to our resident Marianne. 🎂 A true sweetheart, Marianne spent her childhood in wartime Berlin before falling in love with a handsome American GI and beginning a new life in the United States.

To honor her roots, our Social Services Manager Kate searched out a special German sausage and traditional cookies, flavors from her childhood home to mark her day. Another gift was a new companion, a cuddly toy she named Marzipan. 🧸

Spreading a little extra love at the Morning Light Home 💐 On the eve of Valentine’s Day, our team shared flowers, gifts, and time together — small gestures that mean so much. Beyond ensuring no one in need dies alone, our home is about honoring each day as precious and remembering that our residents still have life to live, love to feel, and moments to celebrate.

We hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day. More moments from our visit to come ❤️

Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us at Morning Light ❤️

Some of our team had the joy of spending time with our wonderful residents, including Patricia, sharing flowers, gifts, and plenty of smiles. These simple acts of love and connection are what our home is all about, especially on a day that celebrates caring for one another.

We hope you have a wonderful day filled with love and kindness. More photos from our Valentine’s celebrations to come!🌹✨

Please join us in warmly welcoming Dana Wetherbee to the Morning Light Board of Directors 💙

Dana has been a wonderful part of the Morning Light community for the past couple of years, generously giving her time through volunteer groups and events, and we are so excited to now have her serving in this new leadership role behind our mission.

Professionally, Dana brings deep expertise in financial services, tax preparation, and nonprofit compliance. She has supported several local nonprofits through the preparation of Form 990 filings and has a strong background in audit and healthcare financial reporting, including roles with Indiana University Health and public accounting firms serving healthcare organizations. Her insight into nonprofit structure, governance, and financial best practices will be an incredible asset to Morning Light as we continue to grow and serve.

Beyond her professional experience, Dana is someone who cares deeply about community. She and her family enjoy traveling, exploring local restaurants, attending community events, and cheering on the Indiana Pacers, and we are grateful she has chosen to invest her time and heart in Morning Light.

Dana, thank you for stepping forward in service! 🏡💙 Dana Wetherbee

Caregiver Crossing, is a radio program brought to you by Joy's House, it features experts from across the country to provide comfort, resources, and joy to caregivers.

Recently, Madison Wood Gonzalez, Executive Director of Morning Light, joined Caregiver Crossing for a wide-ranging and heartfelt conversation with Tina McIntosh — who also serves as Morning Light’s Board Chair.

It was a meaningful discussion between two women deeply committed to end-of-life care, dignity, and the power of community. Together, they explored the realities facing caregivers today, the role nonprofit organizations play in filling critical gaps, and how spaces like Morning Light and Joy’s House provide not just services, but communities.

From the adult day arena to hospice support and community-based nonprofit care here in Indianapolis, the conversation highlighted the importance of collaboration, compassion, and ensuring that no one walks the caregiving journey alone.

The episode will be released soon and we can’t wait to share it with you. Stay tuned.
