7 Days of Thanksgiving, Day 5:
Today, we’re grateful for the quiet beauty that surrounds us. With a deep breath and a moment of stillness, nature reminds us just how much peace is present in the world.

11/24/2025

Today, on day 4 of our 7 days of Thanksgiving, we honor our bodies and minds: their resilience, their ability to grow, and the small but powerful ways they help us create meaning each day.

7 days of Thanksgiving, Day 3:
Today, we’re grateful for our mental and emotional health. And we honor the truth that needing help—through a therapist, medication, or any supportive resource—is not a flaw. It’s a brave and human step toward wellbeing.

Day 2 of our “7 Days of Thanksgiving” series:
Today, we are grateful for people: the ones we’ve known for decades, the ones we meet only for a moment, and the ones who show up right when we need them most. Each connection, big or small, reminds us that we don’t walk through life alone.

Over the next 7 days, as the pace of the holiday season picks up, we’ll be highlighting simple moments of gratitude. We encourage you to join us in noticing the unexpected joys that help anchor us when things feel hectic.

Ancora Compassionate Care’s online auction is LIVE! All of the proceeds help us fund our programs and services to the community.

Ancora Compassionate Care has been serving patients and families in the community since 1987. For most of those years, we served as Hospice of Rockingham County; in November 2023, we changed our name to Ancora Compassionate Care. This was simply a renaming/rebranding and was certainly not the result...

November is Children’s Grief Awareness Month

Children feel loss deeply, even when they can’t find the words to express it. This month, we hold space for every child grieving a loved one, and for the caregivers walking beside them.

Healing begins with compassion, connection, and being willing to listen.

If your child or family is navigating grief, our therapists are here to offer support and understanding. You don’t have to walk this journey alone. Call our intake department at (336) 427-9022 to get started.
