The Next Best Place to Home

Mar 21, 2018

Joanne Mackenize, pictured with staff member Pat Nash, shares this about her time at the Kline Hospice House.

“Staff makes you feel special and it’s beyond what I could have imagined. It is the best place to
be for 24 hour care. You feel like you are the only person here that they care for. Everyone is smiling and energetic, you can tell they love what they do. It’s the next best place to home."

Joanne enjoys sitting on the deck outside her room. Each patient room was designed with French doors that open to the outdoors.
