Our whole family was impressed with the nurses and home health aides. They not only did a great job with my husband but also took the time to talk and listen to us. It was a terrible time of my life to see my husband passing away, but a great gift not only to my husband, who was able to stay at home, but to his whole family who got to spend many hours a day with him.
“What your facility does for the terminal patient is so important. God bless you all.”
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
The team was so friendly, helpful, understanding and so very soothing. They made us feel like we mattered and that they were 100% there for us. I am so blessed to have had this team by my side as my family member passed on. I definitely couldn’t have done it without them. Thank you all. –Local Hospice Family

Thank you very much for the beautiful memorial service conducted in Newton on Monday night. For me, personally, it meant a lot to hear my daughter’s name mentioned and to have her honored along with all the other people. The entire service was quite moving and very spiritual for me. Please thank all the people that gave their time and talents to give to others.
The hope, love, and dignity hospice care gives us is sent from angels.
My husband died in November, after being released from a rehabilitation center for just a few days. During my husband’s time home, hospice came and helped me with his medications and his care. The nurse was wonderful! When my husband died, your social worker and nurse were both at my home. Their compassion and kindness helped me get through the initial shock. I can’t thank them enough. Hospice is an amazing support system that touches everyone who is dealing with a terminal illness. Thank yo… Read more
