Hospice employees share their heart and soul everyday with patients and their families at the Comfort Care Center in Little Rock. Recently, staff gave even more to the Tribute of Life (TOL) Foundation for patients who otherwise would pass away unsupported and alone.
National Healthcare Decisions Day is observed annually on April 16th and is aimed at increasing the number of Americans who have completed an advance directive (“living will”), in which they name the person who will make medical decisions for them in the event they are seriously ill or injured and can’t speak for themselves. Experts say only about 20-30% of Americans have completed an advance directive even though all people age 18 and older should have one.
April is the month we recognize our Volunteers and our Volunteer Coordinators. Hospice is an awesome benefit, and Volunteers make the difference between an average hospice and one that adds life to every day.
Hot Springs, Arkansas: Grief is unique to each person it touches. With support from others who have grieved, we hope to find a common understanding. We anticipate the moment when we are brave enough to share our thoughts with someone who has also grieved, and they nod, smile and understand and we know that we are not alone.
Facing the end of life can be hard. Facing it alone, in the absence of family, friends, financial resources and qualified caregivers, is even harder.
The Tribute of Life Foundation believes that everyone deserves to complete their journey in a warm, clean bed, surrounded by people who care deeply about meeting their medical, social, emotional and spiritual needs. Through our 'No One is Alone' initiative, we are committed to funding two beds in the Comfort Care Center for people who could not afford it otherwise.
