It is hard to believe that <strong>Talbot</strong><br />
<strong>Hospice</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> has celebrated<br />
its 10 th year anniversary of the <strong>Hospice</strong><br />
House on Cynwood Drive. What<br />
vision and foresight the THF board<br />
of directors and staff had in creating<br />
this wonderful resource for those in<br />
our community facing end-of-life.<br />
What is truly incredible is that the<br />
community’s financial support not<br />
only totally funded the building of<br />
<strong>Hospice</strong> House but has supported our<br />
programs ever since.<br />
<strong>Hospice</strong> House provides our program<br />
staff (family services, spirituality,<br />
bereavement, volunteer and Guest<br />
Wing) <strong>with</strong> the facility and resources<br />
needed to deliver our essential services.<br />
This beautiful building has allowed us to operate more efficiently and<br />
to ensure that our services and care reach those in need in a timely and<br />
holistic manner. With our community growing, particularly the 65 and<br />
older segment, the demand for all of our services continues to increase.<br />
This past year, the occupancy rate in our six-bed Guest Wing was the<br />
highest in its 10 year history. In July 2009, we admitted our 500 th patient.<br />
What a milestone! While the majority of the patients we serve choose to<br />
remain in their homes, the percentage of those spending their remaining<br />
weeks or months in the Guest Wing increases each year. As the overall<br />
number of hospice patients continues to increase, we are reminded<br />
constantly of the needs of patients at home and in the Guest Wing. We<br />
will continue to strive to support them and their caregivers during this<br />
trying time.<br />
Each day, the staff receives words of gratitude from patients and their<br />
families. We in turn are blessed to have a dedicated board of directors<br />
and a generous community of donors who continue to ensure that we<br />
meet our mission.<br />
We have so much to be grateful for,<br />

...<strong>Living</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>Gratitude</strong><br />
“Although I was vaguely familiar <strong>with</strong><br />
the hospice program, I had no idea<br />
of the level of care provided to your<br />
guests. From the feeling of warmth and<br />
friendship when you first walk in, to a<br />
shoulder to cry on at the end, the care and<br />
concern are amazing. The caregivers<br />
provided gentle, compassionate care and<br />
I never saw a volunteer <strong>with</strong>out a smile<br />
or a kind word. The Guest Wing was<br />
always immaculate, as were the gardens.<br />
Losing a loved one is never easy, but the<br />
services you provide certainly helped the<br />
family to prepare as best they can. You<br />
gave my step-father dignity, respect and<br />
compassion during his last week of life,<br />
and we could not have asked for more.”<br />

one of you for the good work. To see in person the<br />
difference that you make for people, like my sister,<br />
makes me able to add some joy to my sorrow.”<br />

In March 2009, former waitresses and busboys returned to The<br />
Crab Claw to remember<br />
Robbie Shortall, the<br />
much beloved General<br />
Manager of the popular<br />
restaurant who died<br />
in the Guest Wing<br />
at <strong>Hospice</strong> House in<br />
2007. For two years in<br />
a row these generous<br />
individuals have raised<br />
more than $12,000<br />
for <strong>Talbot</strong> <strong>Hospice</strong><br />
programs by donating<br />
their tips through<br />
this successful event. The Crab Claw restaurant has raised<br />
more than $50,000 for <strong>Hospice</strong> over the years thanks to the<br />
generosity of owners Sylvia Jones and Tracey Jones-Wass.<br />
