Full Review
“Natalie and Kimber have taken care of my dad for a pretty long recovery. He is doing amazing now. The recovery was so much easier because of these two ladies. They are always very open with their communication and very punctual. We are so glad that these two ladies have taken so much dedication to his recovery. We love these two ladies and have loved getting to know them. His recovery is about over and we will miss them greatly!!”

Hospice is here to support patients and their families through the final chapter of life—addressing physical symptoms, emotional and spiritual needs, and helping loved ones prepare for what’s ahead. For many families, this is unfamiliar territory, and hospice exists to guide them with compassion, clarity, and dignity every step of the way.

What started as a visit to help manage anxiety turned into a conversation, a connection, and a chance to truly see her patient beyond their symptoms. By taking time to listen, learn their story, and appreciate the art they created, comfort followed—not just physically, but emotionally too.

Sometimes, the most meaningful care comes from slowing down, listening, and simply being there.

When Dr. Millard visits a hospice patient, the focus is simple but deeply important: comfort, understanding, and support.

Hospice care centers on managing symptoms that can cause discomfort or distress—like pain, shortness of breath, anxiety, or trouble sleeping—while also making sure patients and families truly understand what’s happening with their care. It’s about answering questions, easing concerns, and helping everyone feel informed and supported through each step.

At its core, hospice is about listening, clarity, and compassion—meeting people where they are and helping them feel as comfortable as possible.

Sometimes the moments that stay with us most aren’t about answers or checklists — they’re about connection.

Stacy shares a meaningful experience meeting a patient living with ALS and his wife as they navigated one of the hardest seasons of their lives. Despite the challenges they faced, what filled the room wasn’t fear, but faith, love, patience, and resilience. Their kindness, humor, and support for one another left a lasting impression.

It’s moments like these that remind us hospice care is about so much more than medical needs. It’s about honoring stories, preserving dignity, and walking alongside people with compassion through their journey.

These experiences shape us just as much as we hope it helps our patients.

A lot of people ask us about the difference between hospice care and palliative care, and honestly, it’s a great question.

Both focus on comfort, dignity, and quality of life, but they support patients in different ways and at different points in their journey. Understanding the difference can make conversations and decisions feel a little less overwhelming.

If you’ve ever wondered which is which, you’re not alone—and learning the basics is a great place to start.

We hope this graphic helps clear it up! 💚

Many people think palliative care and hospice care are the same thing, but there are important differences.

Dr. Millard breaks down the difference and explains how palliative care supports people earlier in a serious illness, while hospice care is a more specific type of care with defined criteria. Both focus on comfort, symptom management, and helping patients and families navigate what matters most — just at different stages.

Meaningful moments don’t always happen in quiet rooms—they happen wherever people feel cared for. 💚

This week, Nanette, one of our clinical directors, had the chance to witness something truly special: residents and staff at a local assisted living community celebrating the New Year together. Dressed up, music playing, laughter filling the room—what stood out most wasn’t the decorations or the party, but the genuine love and care the staff showed for the residents they serve.

We’re grateful for partners and teams who care so deeply for the people they serve.

From upbeat, compassionate nursing visits to the calming presence of music, every member of the care team plays an important role. We’re deeply grateful to Kaitlyn, McKenzie, Hannah, Jacque, Heidi, Chad, and the entire hospice team for the care they provided.

Thank you Chandra for trusting Applegate during such a meaningful season.

Full Review:
“Applegate Hospice assisted my family for the last year of my father’s life, and we had an excellent experience. The nurses were wonderful and made their visits fun and upbeat. They were also patient and always readily available to answer questions. We appreciate them helping us care for him in the comfort of his home. This is a great team of caring professionals, including the harpist who made regular visits! All our thanks to Kaitlyn, McKenzie, Hannah, Jacque, Heidi, and Chad we are forever grateful.”

We wish you a wonderful and happy New Year from all of us here at Applegate!

As the year comes to a close, Mike reflects on what his patients have taught him: gratitude and compassion.

Spending time with people who are facing serious illness — and still choosing strength, perspective, and even joy — has a way of reshaping how you see your own life. Taking the time to truly listen and understand someone’s story reminds us that compassion grows through connection.

As we head into a new year, we carry gratitude for the people who continue to teach us what really matters.

This week, Yesse was reminded that sometimes the smallest moments carry the greatest meaning. A warm washcloth, a gentle touch, a shared smile, or a quiet joke can restore comfort, dignity, and connection in ways words never could.

Being present. Truly seeing someone. Meeting them exactly where they are. These simple acts are often what matter most.

Thank you, Yesse, for reminding us that compassion lives in the little things—and that our presence can be the light our patients need. 💚
