Last month, we celebrated our incredible volunteers at our annual appreciation picnic! These individuals are some of the most humble and kindhearted people you’ll ever meet.

Collectively, they donated over 2,200 hours to Mt. Carmel House last year! The impact they have on our home, residents, families, and the Mt. Carmel family as a whole is truly indescribable. To say we are blessed is an understatement. ✨THANK YOU ✨for everything you do! ❤️

A huge thank you to Joey Burgado at Aristocrat Visuals for capturing this fun event and to Handle Bar Catering for providing us with beverages! 🎉

We're so excited to announce that in May we'll be hosting a donation drive with Hilton's own Mt Carmel House Inc! 😇

A comfort care home that first opened its doors in 1984, Mt. Carmel welcomes and supports the terminally ill and their families, assuring death with dignity.

You can drop off any of the below donation items at the library throughout the month of May, or donate to their Amazon wishlist: https://mtcarmelhouserochester.org/donations

If you would like to donate time instead of items, Mt. Carmel House is also looking for volunteers!

A reflection on end-of-life care…

There is something I wish more people understood about hospice and end-of-life care.

When someone receives a terminal diagnosis and hospice is suggested, it is because the disease process is already unfolding in ways that medicine can no longer stop or reverse. By the time someone begins receiving end-of-life care, their body has already begun the work of letting go.

We cannot change the outcome, none of us holds that power. Our role, whether we are a member of the hospice team, end-of-life doulas, caregivers, or family members sitting quietly at the bedside, is to advocate, to comfort, and to reduce suffering wherever we can. We ease pain, calm symptoms, listen closely, and tend to the physical, emotional and spiritual weight that often arrives in these moments. Sometimes, when comfort replaces crisis, people are gifted a little more time, which no one could have predicted, but time is never something we can promise.

In this work, we are not the driver of the bus. The course of the illness is not ours to control. Instead, we sit beside the passenger and make sure they are not traveling alone. We show up with presence, with care, and with love.

My hope for every person who is dying is that they are cared for well, that they feel seen and held, and that their landing is soft. At the end of the day, I truly believe that anyone who is providing end-of-life care has this goal in mind.
