We want to send our heartfelt appreciation to nurse Janet, who has always gone above and beyond for our patients and their families. Janet has such a kind, loving, hardworking, and compassionate demeanor. She has truly been a gift to both Hope Hospice and the many families she has cared for.

We thank Janet for her dedication, compassion, and thirteen years of service. Her kindness and commitment have made such a difference to so many, and she will be greatly missed. We wish Janet all the very best as she begins this new chapter in retirement. She has certainly earned it, and we hope she knows just how much she is appreciated and how much she will be missed.💚

Hope Spotlight! Cash, Therapy Dog 🐾

We are excited to honor a special part of the Hope Hospice team who brings so many smiles and so much joy!

Cash will be 6 years old on September 25th, and he weighs 96 lbs. He’s been a Therapy Dog for 3 1/2 years and absolutely loves working with Hope Hospice. He gets very excited when he gets to wear his official Therapy Dog International scarf!

Often, when we are leaving patients’ residences, Cash will lay down and refuse to budge because he’d rather stay!

Cash’s father was the only Golden Retriever to win the Sporting Group at the Westminster Dog Show. But to all of us, he’s just a big, squishy, furry ball of love. ❤️

And of course, he loves his peanut butter and Parmesan cheese! 🥜🧀

We were happy to be able to sponsor the 8th Annual Linda Richardson Charity Golf Outing, which supports the fight against cancer. It is an honor to be part of an event that brings our community together to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by cancer. ⛳️💚

Hospice vs. Palliative Care: What's the Difference?
Many people use the terms hospice and palliative care interchangeably, but they are not the same.

💚 Palliative Care
Palliative care focuses on relieving pain, symptoms, and stress caused by a serious illness. It can be provided at any stage of an illness and alongside treatments that are intended to cure or manage the condition.

💚 Hospice Care
Hospice care is designed for individuals who are facing a life-limiting illness and have chosen to focus on comfort and quality of life rather than curative treatment. Hospice also provides emotional, spiritual, and practical support for both patients and their loved ones.

Both types of care share the same goal: helping people live as comfortably and meaningfully as possible.

If you have questions about hospice or palliative care, we're here to help you understand your options and provide guidance every step of the way. 💚412.367.3685

Happy International Self-Care Day! 💚
Today is a gentle reminder to take time for yourself.
Caregivers give so much of their time, energy, and heart to others, which can make them especially vulnerable to burnout. Even a few moments of rest, fresh air, or doing something you enjoy can help you recharge.
Remember: Caring for yourself isn't selfish. It's an important part of being able to care for others. Take good care of you today!
