November is National Hospice & Palliative Care Month, a time to honor the heart and soul of UpliftedCare—our extraordinary team. Every day, you bring compassion and community connection to the forefront of your work. This month, we’re shining a light on the stories that define who we are: moments that remind us why we do what we do. We’ve asked our team to reflect on their personal journeys and share what it means to uplift others through care. These reflections will be featured throughout November, celebrating the spirit of UpliftedCare and the people who make it truly special.

Meet Our Team:

Lacey Lally – CNA

What keeps you rooted in this work – even on the hardest days?

“Knowing that I make a difference during such hard difficult times.”

Is there a moment from your work that stands out to you as especially meaningful or human?

“Sharing special connections with the patient and the families, seeing the smiles and tears of gratitude during these difficult times. Its such a hard yet rewarding position, I love what I do.”

When people express their fears of hospice to you, how do you help “redefine” their perception?

“It can absolutely be scary, but we are here to guide you during this journey, to bring comfort, care and a whole lot of compassion and love.”

How has working in hospice/palliative care changed your perspective on life, family or community?

“It has changed everything on how I care love daily because life is so short and the little moments that we do have and possibly take for granted are big deals. Try to enjoy everything that life has to offer, the good, the bad its all just a moment.”

Is there a moment or person who reminded you why you chose this work?

“YES! There are many moments, Ive been with Uplifted Care for over 4 years and I truly have special bonds and moments with almost all. The laughter, the crying, the stories and memories and even more so the hugs and last goodbyes are all why I do this work.”

Hospice Care

When that time comes, hospice is there every step of the way with the patient and family as they focus on comfort at the end of life.

Palliative Care

Palliative care is a chance for people dealing with life-limiting illness to have relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of dealing with the illness and to have an extra layer of support.

Care Where You Are

Most patients receive hospice care in a private home. Yet did you know that UpliftedCare also provides care to those living in a nursing home, hospital or assisted living?

Complementary Therapies

Support services such as massage, respiratory therapy, music, and pet therapy can play a significant role in enhancing quality of life for those who are ill. From easing discomfort to evoking fond memories, these therapies can heal the body and lift the spirit.
