Red Deer Hospice, a residential home for the terminally ill, is seeking donations this holiday season.
Officials say Hospice staff are making every effort to give their residents and families one last memorable Christmas together. The home is decorated, cheerful music plays in the common area and the aroma of holiday baking fills the halls. On Christmas morning, each resident receives a special gift and enjoys a delicious turkey dinner, cooked in-house by Hospice’s talented chefs.
“Our mission is to support a peaceful and compassionate end-of-life journey,” said Jerri Taylor, Hospice’s Executive Director. “Not only during the holidays, but throughout the entire year.” Because residents are never charged a fee, Hospice relies on donations to make them as comfortable as possible in their last stage of life.
Year-round, officials note that donor funds are used to provide home-cooked meals for residents and their families, specialty beds and mattress, medical equipment, furnishings, therapeutic bathing systems, personal care items and much more.
