Butterfly Moments: July 1st Edition: 🦋 Reconnecting with compassion, one moment at a time.
Featuring the 🦋Butterfly of Transformation in Our Logo- where our care transforms as your loved ones’ needs transform.
🌟 We're Back—and ready to add some joy to your week!
After a slight pause, we’re excited to relaunch our weekly Butterfly Moments newsletter! Whether you're a caregiver, referral partner, administrator, or community member, our goal is to uplift, inform, and inspire with tools and stories that support the vital work you do—and the lives you touch.
As we enter July, we also celebrate freedom, dignity, and the independence hospice care can provide at the end of life. Thank you for being part of our community.
📚 Understanding Hospice: A Focus on Choice & Independence
Hospice care isn't about giving up—it's about choosing comfort, dignity, and support. In the spirit of Independence Day, we're highlighting how hospice empowers patients to make meaningful choices during the most vulnerable time of life.
Hospice = Independence in Care:
✔ Patients choose their goals and define comfort for themselves.
One feature that is unique to AseraCare is the “What Matters to Me” process we take each patient through. To learn more, speak to one of our Hospice Educators.
✔ Families receive guidance, not pressure—supporting informed choices.
✔ Teams provide care wherever the patient calls home.
💡 For administrators and referral sources:
Hospice can complement your existing care team and services by easing transitions, offering emotional support, and helping residents retain control. Let’s partner to improve end-of-life experiences.
😊 Happiness & Inspiration: Reigniting Joy This Summer
Sometimes all it takes is a little sunshine and a deep breath to shift our perspective.
3 Ways to Find Joy This July:
☀️ Get Outside – Even 10 minutes of fresh air can uplift your mood. If you’re not able to physically get outside, sit next to a window and enjoy the sunshine.
📬 Send a Card – Surprise someone with a simple note of appreciation.
🎵 Start a Sing-Along – Music often invokes joy, especially in group settings! Silly songs are the best!
💡 For administrators and referral sources:
Foster summer joy with our complimentary lemonade social for your staff or residents; or consider a team building in-service—small actions that create big connection.
