At Park Centre-A WesleyLife Community in Newton, generosity has transformed care. Thanks to $1.2 million in community contributions, the Newton community’s memory care household has been beautifully renewed to provide a more homelike, comforting space for residents living with dementia.

From new lighting and furnishings to expanded gardens and family dining areas, every detail reflects the compassion of donors who said “yes” to supporting dignity, comfort, and connection.

November marks National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, an invitation to pause and recognize what compassionate support can mean for a family navigating a difficult period.

WesleyLife Hospice focuses on choice, dignity and the simple, meaningful moments that help someone live as fully and comfortably as possible. In our newest blog post, Vickie Carson-Liston shares a moving tribute to her mother and the shift that happened when their family no longer had to shoulder her care alone.

Read Vickie’s story in the link below to learn how our team supports comfort, connection and peace of mind. And if hospice is something your family is considering, you can explore services at https://hubs.li/Q03T23cL0.

Testimonial Spotlight -- Willowbrook Adult Day

“I have been attending Willowbrook for 18 years, and I have made true friends there. Each day at Willowbrook is fun and I always look forward to the fellowship with other participants. Playing games and dominos with friends, laughing together — these are the moments I treasure.

I especially enjoy the special visits from the Centre for Arts & Artists in Newton, where we get to see art, meet artists, and do projects. The many outings the staff organize, too, are highlights of my week. Thank you to everyone at Willowbrook who makes each day full of joy and connection.” Herb, Willowbrook participant
