It’s been requested that we share the poem written by chaplain Sally Iseral for our yearly Remembrance Tree Ceremony. She’s graciously agreed, and we couldn’t be happier to share this with you.

Happy Health Education Week to our two Kellies!

While everyone at Hospice Care Plus educates and informs as part of their work, two of our staff members focus on increasing understanding of hospice, palliative, and grief support care among the public and healthcare providers.

It often comes as a shock when we realize that our parents, who we could always rely on, now need to rely on us. If you are new to this role and feel unprepared, you aren’t alone. Fortunately, there are online resources, apps, and books available to help.

“How to Care for Aging Parents: A One-Stop Resource for All Your Medical, Financial, Housing, and Emotional Issues,” by Virginia Morris, is a time-tested resource for caregivers.

The author’s website offers a free downloadable Caregiver’s Organizer and two free chapters of her book.

Find more information about Morris’s book and other resources for caregivers here. https://t.co/SdvcMicu9p

Earlier this week, we announced our new website design. Now we’d like to highlight some of its new features.

The accessibility widget makes our website compatible with assistive technologies and allows users to adjust the display to meet specific audiovisual needs.

Give it a try by visiting our website and clicking the tab on the lower left of the screen.

We are so much closer. Can you help us reach our goal? Please SHARE this post to help spread the word.

In May, we came to you for help. We are humbled, heartened, and honored by the number of you who responded. You took us from $11,000 to our new total of $48,000. Thank you.

We are much closer to our goal of $78,000 to replace the HVAC system that controls the temperature in patient rooms at our Compassionate Care Center. Please SHARE this post to help spread the word and consider making a gift before the end of June. Every gift brings us closer to our goal.

If our Compassionate Care Center has ever helped comfort or care for you or a loved one, we hope you will consider making that comfort available to others.

When you support a project like this, you help us continue our commitment to patient-centered, mission-based, compassionate, expert care – all without regard for insurance status or ability to pay.
TO DONATE ONLINE, VISIT https://t.co/SQb0aLhIbO
If you have questions, please feel free to contact us at 859-986-1500 or [email protected]. We would be happy to speak with you about the project.

A special word to those of you who have given in memory of loved ones: thank you for sharing with us how much you value the care, comfort, and compassion you received at the Center. It has meant so much to us to hear from you.
