🐾 Happy National Cat Day! 🐾
📅 October 29

Today we celebrate our whiskered friends who bring so much comfort, laughter, and love into our lives. 💛

Here at Takara Hospice, we know the healing power of presence — and sometimes, that presence purrs. 🐱

If you’re the proud owner of a certified therapy cat, we’d love to invite you to share that special companionship with our hospice patients. Therapy cats bring warmth, calm, and joy to those who need it most — often saying what words can’t.

✨ Why volunteer?

Bring smiles and comfort to patients and families

Make meaningful visits that brighten someone’s day

Join a compassionate, supportive team that values the human–animal bond

💌 Interested?

to learn more about becoming a volunteer with your therapy cat.
🐾 Together, we can make every moment count — one gentle purr at a time.

🌿 It’s Spiritual Care Week! 🌿
October 20–26, 2025

This week, we recognize and celebrate the essential work of chaplains and spiritual care providers who offer compassion, comfort, and presence to people of all faiths — and those with no faith — in times of crisis, transition, and healing.

Whether it's holding space during grief, offering hope in hard times, or simply listening without judgment, spiritual care meets people where they are.

🙏 To all our chaplains — thank you for the sacred work you do.
💬 To everyone else — if you're facing something heavy, you don’t have to carry it alone. Reach out. Spiritual care is for you too.

🌍 The Great ShakeOut: Protecting Our Elders During Earthquakes 🌍

Every October, millions participate in The Great ShakeOut — the world’s largest earthquake drill — to practice how to “Drop, Cover, and Hold On.” It’s a vital reminder that disasters don’t wait, and preparedness saves lives.

But for our elderly loved ones, earthquake safety requires extra care. Whether they live independently, with family, or in care facilities, we must ensure they are included, informed, and protected.

🛑 How to Help Protect the Elderly During Earthquakes:

1.Create an Emergency Plan

-Go over what to do during and after a quake.

-Make sure they know how to call for help.

-Keep emergency contact numbers visible and easy to access.

2.Earthquake-Proof Their Space

-Secure heavy furniture and shelves to walls.

-Keep walkways clear of clutter.

-Move heavy items to lower shelves.

3.Mobility Support

-If they use a cane, walker, or wheelchair, tailor “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” to their needs.

-Practice accessible safety techniques: sitting on a sturdy chair, locking wheelchair wheels, covering the head and neck with arms or a pillow.

4.Build an Emergency Kit

-Include medications, glasses, hearing aids, extra batteries, and mobility aids.

-Add water, non-perishable food, a flashlight, and a radio.

5.Practice Together

-Include elderly family members in ShakeOut drills.

-Repetition builds confidence and reduces panic.

👵👴 The elderly hold our histories — let’s protect their futures. Join the Great ShakeOut and help make sure no one is left behind when the ground shakes.

📅 Visit www.shakeout.org
to register and get resources.

Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills help people in homes, schools, and organizations worldwide improve preparedness and practice how to be safe during earthquakes. Register to participate in your state or country's drill at www.ShakeOut.org.

☕️ International Coffee Day – A Moment to Remember ☕️

Today is International Coffee Day, a time to celebrate one of the world’s most beloved beverages. But beyond the aroma and warmth of a good cup, coffee has always been more than just a drink — it’s a connection.

It’s the early morning ritual shared with a parent.
The late-night talks with a best friend.
The quiet moments of reflection, when you miss someone who’s no longer here.

Today, let’s pause for more than just a sip.

Let’s raise our mugs in memory of the loved ones who’ve passed — those whose laughter once echoed across kitchen tables and whose presence still lingers in the quiet moments. Let this cup be a toast to them. ☕️

Take a breath. Take a moment.
Let the warmth remind you of the love, the memories, and the moments that never truly leave us.

🌟 2nd Annual Family Fun Day 🌟

This past weekend, we had the joy and honor of hosting our 2nd Annual Family Fun Day, and what an incredible day it was! 💙💚🎉

Families, friends, and staff members came together to celebrate life, love, and the bonds that connect us. From swimming, paddle boarding, swan boats to delicious food and music, every moment was filled with laughter, smiles, and heartfelt connection.

At Takara Hospice, we believe in supporting not only our patients but also the families and communities that surround them. Events like this remind us of the power of togetherness and the importance of joy — even in life’s most difficult chapters.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us!!! We can’t wait to see you all again next year!
