This is a poignant video of a courageous man who chose to manage the personal aspects of his terminal illness on his terms. At Care Associates one of the tenets of our hospice philosophy of care is that no one facing a terminal illness should die alone, nor in pain. Real hospice care is a support team of professionals with a plan of care that accommodates the needs and desires of a person facing a terminal illness, and of relatives and loved ones tasked with caring for the person.

🌟 Exciting Update on Our Adult Day Care Center! 🌟

We faced some unexpected challenges with our General Contractor that delayed our renovations last fall. To keep things moving, we took charge and worked directly with the subcontractors to get the job done!

Now, we’re thrilled to share that our brand-new center is nearing completion 🎉. The final step is securing our license from the State of Louisiana, and once that’s done, we’re aiming to open our doors in March or April!
