Ancora Health Services: Hospice-Palliative-House calls

Locally owned and operated, Ancora promotes and supports patient, family, and community-centered care with trust and compassion.

We welcome you to Ancora Hospice. In Latin, Ancora means support, refuge and anchor. Our Hope is to provide you and your loved one a place of refuge and support you as you navigate through this journey. We desire to provide the best end-of-life care experience possible. We understand this may mean something different to each individual due to beliefs and life experiences. You may have noticed our logo includes a tree. This was intentional and symbolic. The roots represent the connections and relationships which anchor us throughout life. The trunk, bark, and branches represent the impact and influential reach each of us has on the world around us, while the silver color represents and acknowledges the wisdom and value our patients bring to our lives. You will also notice the trunk is a bit gnarled and bent - acknowledging a life lived and the imperfection we often feel. The green of our leaves represents the growth and learning we experience throughout the duration of our lives. As you look up into the canopy of a tree, you will notice that every leaf is different. This signifies how the people we serve have their own uniqueness and individuality. We want your experience with Ancora to be specific to you and your family. We, the owners of Ancora, have served in hospice for many years. We understand the value of highly trained staff to help you in your journey. It may be a difficult journey, but we will be here to support you. Our staff will help in management of physical pains and discomfort, as well as social and emotional needs you and your family may have along the way. Together we hope to make this experience as good as it can be despite the circumstance in which you find yourselves. Lastly, know that we care about you! We care about your hopes, dreams and everything in between. We care if you are comfortable, clean, warm, dry and most importantly respected. We hope you feel the trust, compassion, and support that we promise to give you with every interaction you have with us. We are honored for the opportunity to serve you. Sincerely,

Cindy Lee, RN - Owner, CEO/Administrator
Dani Castro, RN - Owner & COO
Billy Galligar, MD - Owner & Chief Medical Officer

What Hospice Includes: Whole-Person, Holistic Care

Hospice care is different from other types of health care because it focuses on your whole self , body, mind, and spirit, not just your illness. This approach is called holistic care, and it means we see you as a person, not as a diagnosis or set of symptoms.

🩺 Care for the Body
Hospice teams manage the physical symptoms of serious illness, such as pain, shortness of breath, nausea, fatigue, or loss of appetite, with the goal of maximizing comfort and quality of life, not extending life at any cost.

💭 Care for the Mind and Emotions
Emotional well-being is just as important as physical comfort. Hospice care provides space and support for patients and families to process the emotional realities of serious illness.

🕊️ Care for the Spirit
Spiritual care in hospice is not about religion alone, it’s about helping you find meaning, connection, and peace, whatever your beliefs may be.

❤️ Support for Families
Holistic hospice care extends beyond the patient, it embraces the entire family unit.

This week, we’re kicking off Hospice + Palliative Care Month by taking a closer look at what these services really do.

A lot of people think hospice is only for someone’s last days, or that palliative care is only for end-of-life.

The truth is, both focus on comfort, quality of life, and caring for the whole person and people often benefit more when these services are started earlier, not just at the very end. We See the Whole You.

Hospice and palliative care is about you, your story, and your family. Join us this month in celebrating care that sees the whole person.

The only thing scary this season? How many people still think hospice is about dying, when it’s really about LIVING well.

Let’s clear the cobwebs around what hospice truly means.

Hospice isn’t about giving up, it’s about focusing on comfort, dignity, and quality of life. It’s about spending more moments laughing with loved ones, sharing stories, and feeling cared for every step of the way.

This Halloween, while ghosts and goblins might be spooky, hospice care doesn’t have to be. There’s nothing frightening about compassion, comfort, and peace. No tricks, just care!

Wishing you all a safe and Happy Halloween!
