2020 End of Year Letter
There’s no place like home for the holidays. And, just like at your home, here at ABODE we make everything warm, cozy and bright for our many Guests facing their end-of-life journey – at no cost to them. Despite the difficulties and uncertainty of 2020, we’ve continued to care for a wonderful variety of Guests and welcomed so many of their family members and friends to be with them in their final months, weeks and days. For those with no family or friends, we step into that role – sitting vigil, holding their hands and sharing the love they need so they can let go. At ABODE, no one dies alone.
