Meet Anne, RN Case Manager for Elara Caring's Kalamazoo, MI team.

Anne has received numerous Hospice Heart nominations from patients and families she walked alongside at end of life. Donors have made gifts to our Elara Caring Hospice Foundation in honor of the care Anne has provided to them.

One family said, “Anne was very compassionate and informative on what to expect in mom’s final days.”

Another family shared, “What I remember is your professionalism, empathy, enthusiasm and humor that made your time with us so special.”

Anne told us, “The only thing I can say about hospice is that whenever I tell people what I do and they say ‘oh, you are angels.’ I always say that no, I am blessed to have a job where on good or bad days, I can go home knowing I made a difference in someone’s life.”

We are grateful to Anne for offering such compassionate care and inspiring thoughtful giving that supports other patients and families receiving end-of-life care.

Meet Joy, Bereavement Coordinator at Elara Caring's Toledo, Ohio branch.

Joy has deservedly been awarded Hospice Heart recognitions numerous times. One of her patient's family members told us that "Joy was a comforting presence" and thus she made a gift to the Elara Caring Hospice Foundation in Joy's honor to support other patients and their families at end-of-life.

When Joy reflects on her role she says, "I love serving as a hospice bereavement coordinator because it is a sacred privilege to walk with people in their most tender moments of loss. Being able to offer presence, compassion and a steady support when words often fall short reminds me that love still speaks, even in grief. I am honored to help families feel seen, heard and gently cared for as they navigate sorrow, while holding space for healing, hope and meaning to unfold in its own time.”

We are grateful for Joy!

For the past three years, Vicki has received numerous Hospice Heart nominations from patients and families she has served in their end-of-life journey. These individuals have made gifts to our Elara Caring Hospice Foundation in honor of the care Vicki has provided to them.
One family said: "Dear Vicki, the best hospice nurse ever! We started with Vicki 5 years ago with a different family member. Then she took extra special care of my Jack this spring. She was so compassionate and loving to him. She became a very special lady to me! If I could give her anything it would be praise forever. My Angel!"

"Joe wanted to leave his kids a message, but he was declining, and they didn't think it would happen. I mentioned it would be cool if we could record his heartbeat... and now we are giving his family something they will cherish forever! I love my job. I love our Foundation. And most of all, I love our team and the difference we made. People may not remember our names a year from now, but they will never forget how we made one of the hardest times in their life a little easier."
