Home for the Holidays
Helping Families Share the Gift of Time
The holidays are a season of togetherness, a time for laughter, love, and reflection. But for families facing a life-limiting illness, those moments can feel uncertain or out of reach.
At Luminary Hospice, we believe every person deserves the chance to spend the holidays at home, surrounded by peace, comfort, and the people they love most. That belief is at the heart of our Home for the Holidays campaign. We help patients and families share meaningful time, create memories that will endure long after the season ends, and remind our communities that hospice is not about endings. It is about preserving moments that truly matter.
A Message from Our Chief Operating Officer, Cindy Douglas
Cindy shares her family’s story, how hospice care brought peace, presence, and gratitude during her father’s final holiday season, and how that experience continues to guide Luminary’s mission today.
Cindy Douglas: Why Home for the Holidays Matters
How Hospice Brings Families Home
Hospice is more than medical care; it’s comfort, clarity, and connection delivered wherever a patient calls home. When hospice begins early, families gain more than time; they gain the chance to make every day count.
Through the Home for the Holidays initiative, we help families:
- Manage symptoms early so patients can stay comfortable and present for holiday moments.
- Coordinate emotional and spiritual support for patients and caregivers alike.
- Create opportunities for meaning and memory, from family meals to legacy projects.
- Provide peace of mind so families can focus on what matters most — being together.
Refer Your Patients to Us
Every early referral gives families the gift of time, offering more moments for connection, comfort, and peace. If you know a patient who could benefit from hospice support this season, help them be home for the holidays.
