nd-of-life care is about living your best life with the time you have left. Choosing hospice sooner means more comfort and support during life’s toughest time. Serenity HospiceCare’s comprehensive team of medical, spiritual, and emotional support staff provides all the necessary care for their patients to remain at home in the presence of their family and friends. Their innovative approach truly illustrates their team’s commitment to providing peace of mind when it matters most. Serenity has added music therapy to the services they provide. Their music therapist will learn the patient’s favorite songs and sing to the patient while playing an instrument. Hearing familiar songs can help relieve some of the patient’s anxiety and create a comforting environment in which to socialize and reminisce. Serenity HospiceCare also offers other innovative programs such as Supportive Care, a free service that provides support and resources for patients and families facing chronic illness or undergoing treatment for a terminal illness. Also, since children grieve differently and require a specific type of support, they offer a grief counseling program called Carter’s Clubhouse. This program helps children interact with other grieving children through art, music, story-telling, and play. These programs demonstrate how Serenity provides comfort in a variety of ways. Contact them today at 573-431-0162 to learn how they can help you. Pictured from left to right: Back: Dannetta Branch; Mary Kay Obenauer; Cydney Seabaugh; John Lodholz; Mary Dahmm.
