On this quiet Christmas Eve, beneath the soft and starry glow,
Some gifts aren’t wrapped in ribbons, tied with bows or placed just so.
They shine within the quiet—
A midnight check for needed care,
A blanket pulled up gently,
A kind voice in the midnight air.

A hand held in stillness is a gift only you can give,
And caregivers offering these show what it means to truly live.
Your love lights up the evening in a warm and tender way.
You are deeply appreciated on this gentle Christmas Day.

And for the chair left empty, where a loved one used to be,
Holding memories like ornaments upon a cherished tree.
May their love feel ever near you, in the hush of Christmas night,
Wrapping softly ’round your heart,
Like a comforting, familiar light.

May peace and tender comfort find your heart and stay tonight.

Our Adult Family Home provides:

• Assistance with daily living (bathing, dressing, mobility, medication support)
• Home-cooked meals and snacks
• Coordination with hospice, palliative care, and medical providers as needed
• A calm, supportive atmosphere for residents and families

This opening is uncommon, and we’d love to show you the space. Tours are available today.

If you or someone you care about is grieving this holiday season, presence matters more than perfect words.

A quiet message. A specific invitation. Help with practical tasks. Space when it’s needed.

We’ve shared some guidance for supporting someone through grief and resources for when extra support is helpful.

For people grieving a loss, the holidays aren’t always joyful. Traditions shift. Familiar routines feel heavier. Learn how to navigate the holidays with grief.

Are you thinking more about giving gifts these days?

Did you know, beyond Christmas, you can give even more to the people and causes you love? If you leave at least 10% of your estate to charitable interests, you can qualify for a tax deduction, allowing you to give more to your heirs.

We asked Todd Halterman, a planned giving expert, how to leave more to your family and the causes you love, and disinherit the IRS.

This season, many of our pediatric parents have asked for gift cards rather than traditional gifts. Because every child has unique needs, like adaptive clothing or toys with specific features, gift cards give caregivers the flexibility to choose what will truly brighten their child’s holiday.

If you’d like to help, we are collecting $50 gift cards from Target, Walmart, Amazon, Kohl’s, or Burlington. If you prefer to purchase a gift card online, please use the link below ⬇️

Thank you for helping us support our pediatric families with care, dignity, and joy. 💜
