As a family, we wanted to ensure Dad had the very best care possible at end of life, and we knew he would get that at Hospice.

We also wanted to take the burden of care off Mom. She too was in her eighties and had been Dad’s full-time caregiver and it was taking its toll on her. It took the weekend for Dad to come to terms with moving to Hospice, but once he was settled in his room, an ice cream sundae made by the kitchen volunteer made for a very warm - and delicious - welcome.
