𝗡𝗼.

Patients receiving the Medicare hospice benefit have the right to change hospice providers.

That's important for families to know.

Hospice care is deeply personal. You're inviting a care team into your home and into one of the most vulnerable chapters of your family's life.

You should feel:

💛 Heard
🧡 Respected
🤎 Informed
💛 Supported
🧡 Confident communicating with your care team

If something isn't working, start by 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀 with your current hospice. Sometimes problems can be resolved through a conversation or adjustment to the plan of care.

But families also have the right to ask questions about changing providers and learn what that process involves.

f you're considering hospice—or already receiving hospice care and have questions about your options—we're happy to have a conversation.

Information costs nothing.

And sometimes knowing your options can make a difficult situation feel a little less overwhelming.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗟𝗼𝘀𝘀...

🤎 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗱𝗮𝘆.

The first holiday.

The first family gathering.

The first time something wonderful happens—and they're the person you instinctively want to call.

Grief is filled with 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁𝘀.

Some are dates you can see coming on the calendar.

Others arrive unexpectedly.

A song.

A familiar smell.

Walking past their favorite restaurant.

Reaching for your phone before remembering you can't call them.

These moments can bring grief rushing back, even on a day that began perfectly fine.

That doesn't mean you're moving backward.

𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲.

If you're approaching a difficult “first,” consider telling someone you trust ahead of time. Make a plan for the day—but give yourself permission to change it.

You might honor the person.

Spend time with family.

Do something completely different.

Or simply allow the day to be whatever it needs to be.

And if being around people who understand grief would help, our 𝗔𝗹𝗯𝘂𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗿𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁.

𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐒𝐚𝐲 “𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐞” — 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬

When someone asks how your loved one is doing, it's easy to answer:

“𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆'𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲.”

But sometimes the most important changes aren't dramatic.

Maybe Dad is sleeping two hours longer than he did last week.

Mom is leaving more food on her plate.

Getting from the bedroom to the living room suddenly requires more effort.

She's talking less.

He's asking for pain medication more frequently.

Or something simply feels 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁.

When you're with someone every day, gradual changes can be surprisingly hard to recognize.

Here's a simple caregiver habit:

𝗢𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸, 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘀𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀—𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟮𝟰 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀.

Ask yourself:

💛 Is my loved one eating or drinking differently?
🧡 Sleeping more or less?
🤎 Moving around differently?
💛 Experiencing new or changing symptoms?
🧡 Participating less in usual activities?
🤎 Needing more help with everyday tasks?

You don't need to interpret what those changes mean.

𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺.

A caregiver's observations can provide valuable information because you're seeing the little moments between visits.

And when your instincts tell you something has changed, it's always okay to make the call.

🌻 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗢, 𝗦𝗘𝗣𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗕𝗘𝗥!

A new month has arrived—and with it comes another opportunity to serve our New Mexico community with information, resources, encouragement, and compassionate support.

This September, we're continuing a commitment we've been building throughout the summer:

𝗪𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

Whether you're caring for a parent, supporting a spouse through serious illness, grieving someone you love, wondering whether hospice might be appropriate, or simply trying to understand what resources are available to your family—we want you to find something here that helps.

Throughout September, we'll continue sharing:

💛 Practical tools for family caregivers
🧡 Straightforward answers to hospice questions
🤎 Guidance for navigating difficult conversations
💛 Grief and bereavement support
🧡 Information about comfort and quality of life
🤎 Resources you can save and share
💛 Reminders that caregivers deserve care, too

And we'll continue introducing you to the people and heart behind High Desert Hospice.

Because hospice isn't simply about what happens at the end of life.

It's about helping people 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁, 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

So welcome, September. 🌻

May this month bring opportunities to listen more closely, love more intentionally, help one another generously, and appreciate the ordinary moments that make a life meaningful.

And if September happens to be the month your family needs us, 𝘄𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲.

👋🏼 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐛𝐲𝐞 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 — 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐔𝐬?

As August comes to a close, we're thinking about something this month reminded us again and again:

𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔𝒏'𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒂 𝒅𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆.

Sometimes it's creating one place for important medications.

Writing down questions before the nurse arrives.

Keeping family members informed.

Putting frequently used comfort items within reach.

Knowing when to make the call instead of trying to figure everything out alone.

And sometimes, it's recognizing that 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐨𝐧 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐲.

Throughout August, we've tried to make this space more than somewhere you simply scroll past.

We want the High Desert Hospice community to be a place where families can 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥.

That intention is coming with us into September. 💛

As we close this month, we'd love to hear from you:

𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒄𝒆, 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝒈𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒇, 𝒐𝒓 𝒆𝒏𝒅-𝒐𝒇-𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒖𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒏 𝑺𝒆𝒑𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓?

There are no silly questions—and chances are, if you're wondering about it, another family is too.

Leave your question below or send us a private message. Your question may inspire one of our upcoming posts.

Here's to carrying forward what helps and making room for what comes next. 🧡

✨ 𝗦𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝗥𝗘𝗙𝗟𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡

If today eventually became a memory, what would you remember about it?

Probably not whether the kitchen was clean.

Or whether every email was answered.

Or whether you crossed everything off your list.

You might remember the way someone laughed.

The story your father told for the hundredth time.

The way your mother squeezed your hand.

A dog asleep at someone's feet.

The smell of something familiar cooking in the kitchen.

Or the ordinary afternoon when everyone you loved happened to be together.

We spend so much of life preparing for what's next that it's easy to overlook what is happening 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄.

Hospice has a way of reminding us that time doesn't have to be extraordinary to be valuable.

So before this Sunday disappears into Monday, pause for a moment.

Look around.

Notice who's there.

Listen to the voices.

Put down the phone.

Stay five minutes longer.

Someday, you may discover that what felt like an ordinary day was anything but ordinary.

🌿 𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅-𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐃𝐀𝐘: 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐋𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐫.

Not every day needs to be productive.

And not every caregiving day needs to look like the version you pictured in your head.

Dinner can be sandwiches.

The laundry can wait.

The house doesn't need to be spotless.

You don't have to answer every text today.

You don't have to entertain visitors.

And if everyone is safe, cared for, fed, and loved?

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐛𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲.

Caregivers are often given more advice about what they 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 be doing.

Drink more water.

Exercise.

Meal prep.

Journal.

Meditate.

Get enough sleep.

Stay organized.

Ask for help.

All wonderful suggestions.

But even self-care can become another list of things you're failing to accomplish.

So we're giving you something different today:

𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐫.

Choose what genuinely needs your attention.

Let something else wait.

And don't confuse an easier day with a wasted one.

Sometimes conserving your energy is exactly what tomorrow requires.

❓ 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬?

Yes.

It's called 𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐟, and many families experience it while someone they love is living with a serious or life-limiting illness.

You may find yourself grieving:

The way life used to be.

Plans you thought you'd have together.

Changes in your loved one's abilities or personality.

The changing roles within your family.

And then you may feel guilty for grieving someone who is still here.

Anticipatory grief can hold many emotions at once—sadness, love, fear, anger, gratitude, exhaustion and even moments of joy.

𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐥 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫.

Talking with people who understand grief can help create space for feelings that may be difficult to explain elsewhere.

Our Las Cruces Grief Support Group meets tonight:

🤎 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐍𝐀

Some of the most meaningful hospice care happens in moments most people will never see.

Helping someone bathe.

Washing their hair.

Changing linens.

Helping them dress.

Providing personal care while protecting something incredibly important:

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲.

Hospice CNA's provide hands-on personal care according to each patient's individualized plan of care and work closely with the hospice nurse and the rest of the interdisciplinary team.

But there is another part of their work that can't easily be written on a care plan.

It's the gentle conversation during a bath.

Remembering how someone likes their hair combed.

Taking the extra moment to make sure they're comfortable.

Noticing a change and communicating it to the nurse.

Helping someone feel like a 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧, not a patient.

For families providing around-the-clock care, that support can matter tremendously, too.

Hospice is a team—and our CNA's are an invaluable part of it.

To every CNA doing this quiet, deeply personal work: 𝐰𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 🫶🏼
