Open your heart to EverTrue Hospice this National Volunteer Month. 💙

As a hospice volunteer, you provide meaningful companionship to people facing life-limiting illness. By sharing a conversation, reading together, listening to music, bringing a pet for a visit or simply sitting with someone so their caregiver can take a much-needed break, your small gift of time can make a big difference.

✨ Just one to four hours a month can:
• Bring comfort and connection to someone in need
• Support caregivers during challenging times
• Create meaningful, human moments
• Leave a lasting impact—on their life and yours

Volunteering with hospice is a powerful, rewarding experience for everyone involved. If you have compassion and a heart for serving others, you can make a difference.
Flexible scheduling. Meaningful moments. Lasting impact.

The Easter Bunny came to Samaritan Place last week and left behind 400 laminated eggs for the residents to find and 200 different laminated eggs for the staff to find. Congratulations to staff member Alan on finding 88 staff eggs! Congratulations to Ralph for finding 135 resident eggs! They each got to pick from hand made shawls or blankets and both found the one perfect for them. Hope you all had a Happy Easter!

On Good Friday, we pause to remember the depth of God’s love shown through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It is a day of reflection, gratitude and quiet hope.

In our EverTrue communities, we are reminded that love is often found in simple acts of care, compassion and presence. As we reflect on this sacred day, may we be mindful of the grace that carries us through every season of life.

May this Good Friday bring you moments of peace and reflection as we look toward the promise of Easter.

Support for families navigating serious illness and end-of-life care was the focus of EverTrue’s recent appearance on News 4 Great Day.

Kristy Kerley, EverTrue Director of Hospice and Palliative Care, explained the roles of palliative care and hospice and how each can protect quality of life.

Through EverTrue Anywhere Care, Palliative care steps in earlier, helping people manage pain, shortness of breath and the daily weight of chronic illness while they continue treatment. Hospice care follows when treatment is no longer effective, shifting the focus entirely to comfort and peace.

Replacing uncertainty with guidance, EverTrue Anywhere Care ensures that clients are not left to navigate complex medical and emotional decisions alone.

EverTrue’s approach centers on listening and building care around each person’s values, beliefs and priorities. It also reflects a deep commitment to culturally and spiritually respectful care, including specialized accreditation to honor Jewish end-of-life traditions in the St. Louis community.

Bam! What a tile-riffic time as EverTrue Hospice sponsored the popular mahjong event Tiles Tuesday hosted by the Jewish Federation of St. Louis💙

Through our work, EverTrue Hospice has the privilege of walking alongside people during some of life’s most meaningful moments. We are proud to be one of only two hospice providers in St. Louis accredited by the National Institute for Jewish Hospice, which is a reflection of our commitment to respecting the values and rituals that matter to all individuals we serve.

We like to celebrate as much as we can in the Care Center. On Saturday March 14th (3.14) we celebrated Pi day with a Pie Trolley. Residents had their choice of 5 different pies from Trefzger’s. We were so busy we weren’t able to get pictures but we sure had fun! And this week we celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with a Taste of Ireland Happy Hour, music from Don Bauer and Potato Bowling

“I came here 10 years ago thinking it was just a housekeeping job,” says Tanjie Kramer, Director of Lifestyle Enrichment for EverTrue Lutheran Home at Topton in Topton, PA. “I’ve always been outgoing. I’d stop and talk with everyone. One of the Lifestyle Enrichment team members said, ‘You’d be perfect for working in Lifestyle Enrichment!’ I took the jump from housekeeping to Lifestyle Enrichment, and I don’t regret it one bit.”

Today, Tanjie is one of many who have found success through a career in aging services. March is Careers in Aging Month, which highlights the opportunities in aging services.

Tanjie has grown with EverTrue, becoming a certified Activities Professional and Activities Director.

But, according to Tanjie, the most important qualifications aren’t listed on paper:
“Be caring. Be patient. Have a bubbly personality.”

Her days are filled with trivia, active games, trips and Diners Club lunches. But beneath all the fun, there lies a deeper purpose. “The real work is keeping the residents connected. Keeping their bodies moving and their minds stretching. Making sure no one feels alone.”

Cycling Without Age Helps Residents Stay EverTrue to Past Hobbies

Three EverTrue Life Plan Communities are getting ready to roll out a new experience designed to bring fun, connection and fresh air to residents —Trishaws, a three-wheeled, pedal-powered bicycle with a pilot seat in the back and a comfortable passenger seat in the front.

EverTrue Breeze Park, EverTrue Laclede Groves and EverTrue Lenoir Woods are joining the Cycling Without Age movement, which focuses on generosity, relationships and the simple joy of sharing a bike ride. Trishaws are designed for accessibility, allowing residents who use walkers or wheelchairs to access the fun and enjoy scenic rides.

“The trishaws are such a fresh and innovative way to enable more people to experience the joy of cycling. We are so excited to get them rolling!” said Megan Lau-Sears, Director of Lifestyle Enrichment for EverTrue Lenoir Woods.

During each ride, a trained trishaw volunteer "pilot" will pedal while residents ride in the front compartment as co-pilots, sharing the experience together and taking in the sights and sounds at a relaxed pace.

Each community is preparing to launch a new volunteer opportunity for residents, team members and community supporters to serve as EverTrue Trishaw Pilots.

Excitement is already building. “Residents are already asking if we are getting a second one!” said Gina Timme, Director of Development at EverTrue Laclede Groves.

By encouraging new relationships and embracing the beauty of slowing down, the trishaws offer yet another way EverTrue celebrates Life According to You.
