It’s Caregiver Appreciation Month, so for us, that means it’s a month-long celebration of our beautiful and experienced hand-holders, comforters, favorite meal-makers, family-huggers, and all-around compassionate supporters of everything and everyone. They are the heart and soul of Caring House, and we are so grateful for their kindness and compassion! As part of the celebration, […]
When it became clear that my mom needed more care than could be provided for her at home, we interviewed many different hospice care facilities in the South Bay.

Rolf (my husband) was called “Special K” by many of his high school students. I will call Caring House “Special CH” because it fulfills every one of the synonyms in my online dictionary: exceptional, unusual, singular, uncommon, notable, noteworthy, remarkable, outstanding, unique.
