Taking time to listen as a Caregiver
The many tasks of caregiving can be so overwhelming that you just start doing things, maybe before you have really taken in what actually needs to be done. It is important to take the time to listen—to the person you are caring for, to the other people caring for them, and to yourself. Listening to

Testimonials
We want to express our gratitude for the professional and compassionate care that our mom received from all the personnel at Karen Ann Quinlan Hospice. From the day of admission until Mom’s death, we felt support and guidance for Mom and for our entire family. The communities of Sussex and Warren Counties are truly blessed to have the services of the hospice. Our family is extremely grateful that you were there when we needed you. Please let us know what we can do to support your mission in th… Read more
I agreed with their approach, I agreed with their philosophy and how they handled this passage from this lifetime. (Social worker) Stephanie was Terrific! The nurse would even call us on her own time to check on my mother’s status. (And) I couldn’t have asked for better aides…when they found out my mother was Lithuanian and loved perogies, they brought her perogies. While my mother was at home, the aides walked with her, read Dear Abby and treated my mother as if she was their mom. And … Read more
The nurses and aides were very compassionate and personalized care for the patient and caregiver was provided. The Home for Hospice facility is located in a beautiful country setting and I thank the whole staff. The Bereavement team is also very solid. Local Hospice Family
I couldn’t have done this without hospice assistance. Our nurse was extremely helpful and very caring. The chaplain went out of her way to help my mother and my family. She did an outstanding job, and is a true servant of God. Hospice, as a group, made my job easier. They educated me on what would be, which relieved me of my unknown fears. I highly recommend that all those in need contact hospice, and I campaign for people to donate and contribute to this wonderful organization.
The level of care was unbelievable. The nurses and aides were angels, the volunteers were lifesavers. We could not have gotten through this without them. We will be forever grateful.
The hope, love, and dignity hospice care gives us is sent from angels.
Scared and alone with no family member left, I needed help. You made my dad’s last 13-days of life as beautiful and possible. Thank you. –Local Hospice Family
Hospice gave me more time to spend with my mother in her last weeks here on earth. Also, through my hospice experience I met so many wonderful people who I will always remember. I want to say “Thank you,” to everyone at Karen Ann Quinlan Hospice. You helped my mom, and you also helped me.
No words could ever express my gratitude for all that your organization did for me and my family. The wonderful care provided in my mom’s time of need was exceptional. Instead of feeling uncomfortable having strangers come to our home, it felt warm and comforting like old friends coming to lend a hand. You are all very special people and I commend you on a job well done.
Everyone involved was a great help and support to me, assisting me in understanding my husband’s situation better, and enabling me to care for him in his last days. I can’t thank you all enough for that. You gave me the comfort and peace to accept the situation also. May God bless hospice care and all of you who contributed. For that I will always be grateful. The ‘Crossing the Creek’ booklets that you share with families are the best for anyone at a time like this.
