Lower Cape Fear LifeCare

Community member Lois Gainey recently shared her time and talents by creating a new batch of veteran-themed pillowcases for our hospice patients who have served. 💜

“I feel blessed to share my hobby in this way,” Lois said. “As I sew each pillowcase, I think about the person who will receive it and hope it brings them comfort during a difficult time.”

We’re grateful to Lois for using her gifts to honor and support our veterans, and to all in our community who find meaningful ways to give back.

On Saturday, September 20, families, friends, and staff gathered at the SECU Hospice House of Brunswick for our Fall Impressions Tribute Ceremony. It was a beautiful morning of reflection, love, and remembrance as we honored loved ones who continue to leave lasting impressions on our hearts.

Together, we celebrated the lives and legacies of those who mean so much to us. 💙

In the most recent release of the CAHPS Hospice Survey, Lower Cape Fear LifeCare earned a Five-Star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The highest distinction, awarded to only 8% of hospices nationwide.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Every star represents the voices of families who trusted us during life’s most tender moments. This recognition is especially meaningful because it comes directly from their feedback. Each of our five stars reflects a story of care, compassion, and connection.

We are grateful to every LifeCare teammate who makes this possible by living our mission every day, and we are deeply thankful to the families who have shared their experiences and placed their trust in us.

Our amazing Gettin’ Crafty volunteer group brought some creativity and a whole lot of fun to the Senior Resource Center in Castle Hayne with a masquerade mask project. We loved creating and laughing with everyone there!

Big thanks to our pictured LifeCare teammates and volunteers—Shannon, Compton, Jordana, and Marti—for sharing their time and talents. It’s always inspiring to see how our volunteers bring joy and connection to the community.

Last week, we joined several assisted living communities to celebrate Assisted Living Week and express our gratitude for the incredible care they provide every day. Hospice is not a place; it's compassionate care that happens wherever you call home, including assisted living facilities.

Here are just a few examples from last week’s national celebration: breakfasts and pizza parties, ice cream socials, music bingo, and even a staff zen relaxation room. We’re grateful to Coastal Pointe, Brunswick Cove, Bluefields, and Brookdale for welcoming us into their communities.
