Just a phone call away

One of the best things about NorthCare was that they really listened to him and to me and understood what we needed. This made decision making a lot easier for us. Knowing that medical knowledge and support were just a phone call away let me focus on him and his needs.

The very best care

"I had never had an experience with hospice until my mother's physician recommended the Kansas City Hospice House to our family. The care given to our mother was the very best. The compassion and kindness by the doctors and nurses helped all of us during this time. We were so relieved that she was there. We were able to have all of the family around her and her grandsons brought over things from her house to make it memorable for us all. I hope that every family who needs it can have this kind of experience and that's why I think people should give their support."

This is a thank you

"This is a thank you - not only to your organization but to all those great nurses who came to our home to care for "M" during his short bout with cancer. All the ladies who came were outstanding, professional, friendly, caring and would go to all measures possible to keep him going and to keep his pain down…You always responded when we needed you, no matter day or night, with supplies, encouragement, advice and comfort. Thank you again, you were all wonderful!"

How could we say no?

"I watched a dear friend go through hospice with her son, and she was inspired with a passion to provide our community with a haven of rest, comfort, peace and expert care. When she asked Larry and me to help build the Kansas City Hospice House, how could we say no? We have been involved ever since, as have our children, and now our grandchildren."

His life was beautiful

I found my calling

"My dad was a hospice patient in 2005 for a month before he passed away. Shortly thereafter, a lifelong friend invited me to assist on a KC Hospice fundraising committee. Today, I'm a full-time volunteer. Could I be any more thankful for this journey? No way, not in a thousand lifetimes. Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care is my calling, and I look forward to many more years of service."

Compassionate Confidence

"I’ll always remember your presence the morning my loved one died. You were the expert in knowing what happened and what to do. Your compassionate confidence guided me through the end moments with my loved one and mine’s 56 years together. When I get my own engine going one of these days, I’ll think of that moment — a quiet one — as a beautiful time."

It meant so much to us to have our loved one stay at home during her last few days of life and without your staff it wouldn’t have been possible.

Pets are part of the family, too

"Carol Barnett is a patient care volunteer who developed a strong connection with a man and his beloved dog, Cheerio. By adopting Cheerio, Carol was able to help the dog owner find peace by knowing when he was gone, Cheerio would go home with Carol."

A wedding at Hospice House

"My mom was not going to be able to attend my wedding because she was at Hospice House. The chaplain offered to marry us here in the chapel so my mom could be with us. Volunteers helped to provide bouquets and cake. I had a wonderful reception in the kitchen area. My mom’s favorite nurse Deanna even attended the service in the chapel and made sure my mom was comfortable. My family was very grateful for the staff and volunteers."
