Home Health & Hospice Care

🌟 We Have a Fresh New Look! 🌟 We’re excited to share our new logo and brand for Home Health & Hospice Care! 🎉 This refreshed design reflects our values of being local, dependable, and compassionate while honoring our 140-year legacy of trusted care. This new look is more than just a logo – it’s a symbol of our ongoing commitment to supporting families at every stage of their journey. It’s a bridge between the generations who have trusted us with their loved ones and the future families we’ll care for. 💙 You’ll start seeing our updated brand on our website, marketing materials, and communications. While the look has changed, our mission remains the same: providing trusted patient centered services that enhance each individual’s independence and quality throughout life.

We’re incredibly grateful to Karen Hudson, Dining Manager of The D.W. Diner right here in Merrimack, and their amazing loyal customers for their generous support! Thanks to their kindness and dedication, $2,000 was raised to benefit HHHC and the Community Hospice House (Tina Andrade, HHHC's Director of Philanthropy, pictured receiving the check). 💙 Your support helps us continue providing compassionate care when it’s needed most. Thank you for being a part of our mission and for showing what community spirit is all about!

🎄✨ A Little Holiday Cheer, Delivered with Love! ✨🎄 This week, our wonderful volunteer, Sohini Gupta, crafted these beautiful pine bough arrangements, ready to bring a touch of holiday magic to our patients. 🌟 Each arrangement is filled with the fresh scent of winter greenery, a pop of festive color, and, most importantly, the love and care that makes this season truly special. ❤️ We’re so grateful for the kindness and creativity of our volunteers, who go the extra mile to make sure every patient feels remembered and cherished during the holidays. 🌲

A heartfelt thanks to the YMCA Allard Center Sewing for a Cause Group! We are deeply grateful for the incredible generosity, skill, and time shared by this amazing group. Their thoughtful creations—neck pillows, bolsters, dignity covers, and fidget items—bring both comfort and joy to our patients at HHHC. 💖 📸 Pictured: Jeannie Bumpus and Brenda Young (Not pictured: Diane Uhlmann, Carolyn Stanton, and Pat Murphy) These beautiful hand-sewn items are more than just gifts; they are tangible expressions of care and compassion that make a lasting difference in the lives of those we serve. Thank you for using your talents to brighten the days of so many! 🧵

It's Furry Friend Friday! 🐶 Our pet therapy program is bringing smiles and soothing souls! Team Tuggie visits the Community Hospice House every Friday morning with HHHC volunteers Diane Eagle, handler, and Sally Hooper, co-partner. Tuggie is a Border Collie with a gentle temperament and huge heart. Patients and families take comfort in her visits and Tuggie always leaves them with a smile with her special way of waving goodbye. 📷 credit: Lindsey Ocker

The holiday season can be especially challenging for those grieving the loss of a loved one. While it’s a time often filled with joy and togetherness, it can also bring feelings of sadness, loneliness, and longing. You don’t have to face these emotions alone. As we step into the new year, consider joining one of our grief support groups. These groups provide a safe, compassionate space to connect with others who understand what you're going through. Starting in January 2025, groups for this session may include Loss of Spouse, Loss of Parent, and General Loss. These groups are open to anyone grieving the death of a loved one who hasn’t already participated in an 8-week group.
