Honoring a Hero 🇺🇸

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Tom and the entire team at Compassus Hospice for helping us honor our beloved veteran, Wilbert “Butch”.

Butch served our country with courage during the Vietnam era as a member of the U.S. Army. His dedication to our nation-and to fellow veterans-continues to inspire us all.

Today, we pause to recognize his service, his sacrifice, and the legacy he leaves behind. Thank you, Butch, for your unwavering commitment to our country.

In this insightful episode of Embracing the Golden Years, we dive into the important and sometimes emotional topic of assisted living.

We begin by clarifying what assisted living really means—what services it offers and how it differs from other care options. Our conversation then explores who makes an ideal candidate for assisted living, helping families recognize signs that additional support might be needed. We also highlight the many ways assisted living can enhance a person’s quality of life, from improved safety and daily support to the often-overlooked social and emotional benefits of being part of a vibrant, caring community. Whether you’re exploring options or unsure where to start, this episode offers the guidance and reassurance you need to take the next step with confidence.
