Yesterday, our team spread a little extra sweetness at a local skilled nursing facility by spinning fresh cotton candy for everyone to enjoy. 🩷

We are grateful to work alongside such a compassionate team who care so deeply for the families in our community.

One of the hardest questions families face during a serious illness is, “How much time do we have?” 💚

While there’s no way to predict the future, understanding hospice care can bring clarity, comfort, and peace during an uncertain time.

In our latest blog, we gently explore how long patients typically receive hospice care, common misconceptions about hospice timing, and how early support can make a meaningful difference for both patients and families.

If you’re navigating these questions for a loved one — or simply want to be informed — we’re here to help.

When hospice care happens at home, it’s natural to wonder how to prepare — and to feel overwhelmed by the unknown. 💚

The good news is that you don’t need to turn your home into a hospital to create a safe, peaceful space for your loved one.

In our latest blog, we share simple, thoughtful ways to prepare a home for hospice care — focusing on comfort, safety, and the familiar touches that bring calm and reassurance. With the guidance of your hospice team, small adjustments can make a meaningful difference for both patients and caregivers.

You’re not alone in this. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

Join us in honoring Black History Month! During the month of February, we take a moment to celebrate the incredible contributions of African American leaders who have shaped history and continue to inspire us today, from the trailblazers who broke barriers, to the visionaries who shaped history, and the everyday heroes who continue to propel our culture forward. Their influence resonates in every aspect of our society.

We are proud to embrace diversity and stand united in fostering an inclusive and equitable healthcare community.

Our latest blog walks you through the hospice admissions process step by step, explaining how care begins, who’s involved, and how hospice supports not just patients, but families too.

If you’re navigating this journey now or simply want to be prepared, we’re here to help.

“Everybody can be great... Because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.”
-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Today, we honor Dr. King’s profound legacy. His words remind us that our compassionate care does make a difference in the lives of our patients and their families.

As 2025 comes to a close and we welcome in 2026, we’re taking a moment to say "thank you" to the people and partners who walked alongside us this year, and made this year so special.

Caring for patients and families is truly a team effort. It happens because of dedicated clinicians, supportive staff, and the many buildings, referral partners, and community organizations who trust us to care for the people they serve. From quick phone calls and hallway conversations to bedside moments and family meetings, these relationships make it possible to provide care that is thoughtful, timely, and centered on what patients and families need most.

As we move into the new year, our focus remains on delivering high-quality, patient-centered care and being strong, reliable partners to those we work alongside, because no matter what 2026 brings, our promise remains the same: We’re With You.

As the holidays are upon us, we want to thank our community partners and remind you how grateful we are for the care you provide to patients and families every day.

This season often brings more time together for families, along with questions about comfort, support, and what the next step may be. While many families hope to wait until after the holidays to talk about hospice, care does not need to be delayed. The right support at the right time can make these moments together more peaceful and meaningful.

Our team remains available throughout the holidays to take referrals, answer questions, and walk alongside families in real time. Early hospice involvement can help bring comfort, clarity, and peace when families need it most.

If you have a patient or resident who may benefit from hospice support, please reach out. We’re With You - during the holidays and every day.

Thank you for your partnership, and wishing you and your families a peaceful holiday season. 💙

The holidays can be especially heavy when you are grieving. But as many of us know, grief does not end when the decorations come down. It shows up all year long in quiet moments, family milestones, and unexpected waves.

Beginning in January, The Care Team is offering a virtual grief support group created to walk alongside those navigating loss. This 12-week series offers gentle guidance through key touchstones of grief, while creating space for connection, reflection, and shared understanding.

You are welcome to join us for the full series or attend individual sessions based on what feels right for you. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, and no pressure to share more than you are comfortable with. RSVP today.

🗓 Thursdays | January 15 – April 2
⏰ 5:30–6:30 PM
💻 Virtual via Microsoft Teams

This group is open to anyone experiencing loss.

To RSVP and receive the meeting link, please contact:
Joy Fletcher – jfletcher@careteammi.com

or
Stacey Peak – speak@tctcares.com

Our hope is that you will find comfort, support, and reassurance in walking alongside others who understand that grief is not something to “get over,” but something we learn to carry, together. 💙

We’re excited to announce that Traditions Health's hospice and palliative care teams in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Virginia are now part of The Care Team family.

As our services grow across these states, we are able to support more patients, families, and communities with the dignity, comfort, and support they deserve. And we’re grateful to welcome so many talented Traditions Health caregivers and team members into our organization.

Together, we’ll continue to do what matters most: serve more people with exceptional hospice care, delivered by people who truly care.

As we approach a holiday weekend, families start coming through the doors of our partner communities a little more often. They settle in for visits, share a meal, hold hands a little longer, and really take in how their loved one is doing.

Sometimes that is when families notice new changes. Maybe a resident seems more tired. Maybe they are needing more comfort. Maybe something just feels different.

Those moments can bring big feelings and important decisions, and no one should navigate them alone.

The Care Team is here throughout the entire Thanksgiving weekend to support residents, families, and the incredible teams who care for them every day. We are just a call away for:

🤍 Gentle hospice conversations with families
🤍 Timely evaluations
🤍 Same-day admissions when comfort is needed quickly
🤍 Support that helps residents stay right where they feel most at home

Our hope is simple. Let families focus on being together, and let us focus on the care.

To our senior living partners, thank you for welcoming us into your communities and trusting us with your residents. We are grateful for you, today and always.
