When you’re family, you don’t always have the medical training — and that’s okay.

Wendy shares why having a home health team made such a difference for her and her mom, Colleen. From extra support and motivation to simply knowing someone will show up and follow through, it brought peace of mind during the hard moments.

Care you can rely on.
People you can trust. 💚

Melanie, one of our aides, shared a moment with a patient who was feeling overwhelmed and anxious after starting hospice care.

Through simple presence, conversation, and companionship, that fear began to ease. By the next visit, the patient was not only more at peace—but actually looking forward to their time together.

Sometimes, it’s the small moments of connection that make the biggest difference. Helping someone feel seen, heard, and a little less afraid—that’s what meaningful care looks like.

Hospice care is about shifting the focus.

When a condition can’t be cured, hospice steps in to help patients live as fully and comfortably as possible. It’s not about giving up — it’s about prioritizing quality of life, meaningful moments, and time with the people who matter most.

Hospice also supports families, bringing care directly into the home so they don’t have to navigate it alone.

Less time traveling to appointments.
More time spent where it matters most. 💚

Bri, one of our music therapists, shared a moment that stayed with her long after a patient’s passing.

Throughout her time in hospice, this patient loved hearing “Livin’ On Love” by Alan Jackson — a song about growing old together and building a life side by side. Bri would sing it often during their visits with her and her family.

After the patient passed, Bri returned to spend time with her husband and children. When she sang the song again, her husband looked up with tears in his eyes and said, “She was here for that. She heard it. She’s with us helping us through this.”

Moments like these remind us how powerful music, connection, and shared memories can be — even in life’s most difficult seasons. 💙

“Her goal was simple: stay in her own home.”

When Wendy and her mom, Colleen, first met with the home health team, the first question they were asked was about their goals. For Colleen, it was clear — she wanted to remain in the home she loved.

By working together, that goal has become reality. Nearly three years later, Colleen is still living at home and celebrating her 89th birthday this month.

Sometimes the most meaningful care starts with one simple question: What matters most to you?

One common reason someone may need home health care is after a major surgery.

Procedures like hip or knee replacements can make it difficult to leave the house or attend appointments while recovering. Home health care allows patients to receive the medical support they need — right where they’re most comfortable.

It can also help patients who are mostly homebound or those recovering after a hospital stay.

The goal is simple: bring the care to you so you can focus on healing safely at home.

Jenny is one of our incredible on-call nurses, caring for patients when they need support most — even after hours. 💚

Her passion for compassionate care truly shows, and we’re so grateful for the dedication she brings to every call. We’re lucky to have her on our team!

When health challenges make it hard to even leave the house, having care come to you can make all the difference. 💚

We’re so grateful Richard trusted Kimber and Natalie to step in during such a difficult season. From reducing painful swelling to teaching practical tools like compression care, this is what home health is all about — skill, compassion, and support for the whole family.

Kimber and Natalie, thank you for showing up the way you do.

Full Review:
“My wife has been fighting many battles over the last two years and the latest one was weeping edema from her feet and ankles. She’s been too weak to make it to some of her Dr appointments, treatments, and procedures. Intermountain PT understood and gave me a few phone numbers to call to get home care. I’m so glad I called the first one and got a call back from Kimber. She explained how she and Natalie, RN, would come to the house to help us. Natalie showed up first to assess my wife’s condition and Kimber showed up right behind her. They were great to work with and explained everything they needed to do to help her get the water out of her feet and ankles. They made several visits to the house and in a 10 day span had her lower legs back to normal. They helped me understand how her compression socks worked, how to put them on and what ones would be best for her. I can’t thank Kimber and Natalie enough for what they did for her and for me. The diseases are progressing and as much as I don’t want to think about it, I know someday I’ll need to get help and I will definitely contact Applegate to see if they can.”

Caring for a parent is one of the most meaningful roles you’ll ever step into — and one of the most unexpected.

There’s no manual. No perfect formula. Just a lot of learning as you go.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re doing enough, chances are you are. Asking questions, seeking support, and showing up day after day says more than perfection ever could.

And remember — support doesn’t replace you. It strengthens the circle around your parent so you don’t have to carry everything alone. 💚

When everything feels overwhelming, knowing you’re not alone can mean everything.

Melissa shares about a couple facing a new and aggressive cancer diagnosis — exhausted, uncertain, and unsure of what came next. After taking the time to walk through options, answer questions, and explain the support available, one simple moment stood out.

“We feel like we have a team behind us now.”

Whether through home health or hospice, it takes nurses, aides, therapists, office staff, and specialized providers working together to surround families with support.

Because sometimes, having a team behind you is everything.

Healing journeys aren’t always straightforward — there are ups and downs along the way. 💚

We’re so grateful Ker trusted our team during her wound care recovery, and we’re especially proud of Stacy for the steady support, skill, and compassion she brought to every visit.

Thank you, Ker, for your kind words and for allowing us to be part of your healing journey.

Full Review:
“I so appreciate the great care I’ve gotten from Applegate! My nurse Stacy is wonderful!

My wound care journey has been up and down and Stacy has been a tremendous help and support during it. I’m nearly healed and will miss her visits when they’re over, that’s how good things have been.

Thank you Applegate!”

Sometimes hospice begins with a simple conversation.

After running into someone from Applegate at a friend’s funeral, Barbara received a follow-up call and a visit to learn more about how hospice could support her husband, Jerry. What started as a conversation turned into weekly visits, help with daily care, and a team that made sure neither of them felt alone.

From shower assistance to sitting with Jerry so Barbara could run errands, hospice became more than medical care — it became reassurance, guidance, and genuine concern for them both.

Support for the patient. Support for the caregiver. That’s what made the difference.
