2 Message from the Executive Director and Chair of the Board of Directors

Dear Friends,

Two thousand and twelve was a phenomenal year for implementation of new goals and ongoing success for the mission of Hospice Caring. The compassionate generosity and support we continue to receive from our amazing corps of everyday angels—our volunteers—and the community we serve fuel our progress. You, our donors, are partners in our commitment to excellence and we are grateful for your shared belief in our core values.

This Annual Report is a tribute to the hallmarks Tof what makes Hospice Caring A Different Kind of Hospice. We are the only non-medical, volunteer-driven hospice in Montgomery County. It is our privilege to share the journey of our patients, their families, and the adults and children we serve who are grieving the death of a loved one. Our program services continue to evolve to meet the needs of those we assist. Your 2012 funding enabled us to purchase caregiver resources as part of our Alzheimers-Dementia Initiative, provide informative seminars for our caregivers and facilitators, and try new media avenues to broaden our community outreach.

The Hospice Caring Cottage is a safe haven for tears and laughter. Courage and hope fill every corner of this building as we welcome support The Hospice Caring Cottage is located in Gaithersburg, Maryland. groups and the community.

Thank you for believing in the power of Hospice Caring’s mission.

GreatNonprofits rated Hospice Caring as a 2012 Top-Rated Children and Families Nonprofit.

3 A Different Kind of Hospice

By Penny Gladhill, co-founder of Hospice Caring

Being associated with and watching the magic happen to Hospice Caring for 23 years has shown that people, given permission to use their unique gifts, can develop an organization that goes beyond anyone’s expectations. All that was expected of us when we started was to provide trained, compassionate volunteers to share someone’s end of life journey and to provide one bereavement group. By trusting, cherishing, and believing in those volunteers we found that the ideas and resources they provided was unlimited.

BWe extended our caregiving support to those whose prognosis was poor, but would never give up treatment. Young mothers and young fathers would try any protocol and also needed transportation to treatment, child care, errands, but most of all a presence that could be counted on. Our gift to the patients and their families was to really do it their way and to be their advocate no matter what.

It was the volunteers who worked to bring the Good Grief Clubs into our school system. It was one volunteer whose passion was to have an overnight camp for grieving children. She spent a summer going to bereavement camps for children, came back and told us what worked and then went out and raised the money the first year. Eleven years later the enchantment of Camp Caring has never lessened. It was the volunteers who made it possible for us to provide unique adult bereavement programs: Healing Hearts for those spouses under 50 years of age, our suicide survivors group, a motherless daughter’s group, and many others.

Hospice Caring believes that the real gift of a hospice within our community is that there are committed and compassionate people who know that sharing the end of life journey or sharing the bereavement of those who come to us is the gift. To watch a volunteer take their first step as a caregiver or bereavement facilitator is to watch the development of that person in ways they never could have imagined. It is their uniqueness that makes Hospice Caring the special, growing, changing, and developing organization that has sustained itself for 23 years.

One of nine Washington D.C. metropolitan area nonprofits profiled, Hospice Caring was recognized as part of the Volunteer Engagement Stars Report compiled by Volunteer Frontier and The Center for NonProfit Penny Gladhill (pictured), and other Hospice Caring staff and Advancement. volunteers, participated in community events throughout 2012 that increased awareness of programs and services available to the Montgomery County community.

5 “Being an only child with one remaining parent, I did not know where to turn when my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. A friend referred me to Hospice Caring.” —Patient and Family Program member

Patient and Family Caregiving Program: A Legacy of Caring At Hospice Caring we celebrate life. Yes, we are a hospice organization, but hospice care is a special type of end of life care focused on living, not dying. We honor and celebrate patients in their final days, providing the best possible quality of life, allowing patients and their loved ones to live fully with compassion and dignity. Patients and families tell us, time and again, that our care restores hope in Atheir lives, enabling them to achieve their end of life goals and wishes. Hospice care is a gift you give to yourself, easing your mind, and providing support and resources that help navigate the way.

With more than 23 years of experience as your local community hospice, we recognize that each patient and family is unique. Respect In 2012, Alzheimer’s-Dementia Initiative was is paramount. We listen, we work together with you to understand launched for our caregiver volunteers to provide your needs, and we become your advocate. Volunteers are available specialized resources for their use during visits with to listen, provide insight and guidance; discuss end of life goals, lend Hospice Caring patients and families. a hand with day-to-day tasks such as shopping, babysitting, and carpooling, engage in special interests and hobbies, provide emotional and social support, and help family members manage the practical details and challenges of caring for a dying loved one. Whatever is needed, we are committed to providing the highest quality care, expressly tailored to meet the individual needs of each patient and family member.

• Maria drives Rose to treatment, but she also takes Rose to her weekly mahjong game at the senior center, as often as Rose’s health permits.

• Tom’s volunteers stay with him assuring his safety when his wife needs to be away from the house. The volunteers also helped organize a “blow out” birthday party for Tom complete with balloons, cake, music and myriad guests.

• An aggressive brain tumor limits Irene’s life in many ways. But thanks to her volunteer Anne, Irene attends a weekly class where she creates art glass projects.

• Roy had been a jazz musician. As he lay semi-conscious in the nursing home, Mike played jazz CD’s for him. One day, to everyone’s surprise, Roy started to tap his fingers in time to the music.

Although we touch the lives of many each year, sometimes it seems as if we are the best kept secret in our community. We know that there are so many more that need us, so much more we can do. Through ongoing outreach and education, and with your support, we can reach those who need us the most.

6 “Hospice Caring saved my life.” —Adult Bereavement support group member

Adult Bereavement Program: Healing Broken Hearts

The goal of Hospice Caring’s Adult Bereavement support groups is to provide an emotionally safe atmosphere for each member to find comfort and support following the death of a loved one. We bring together adults who have experienced a similar loss, provide two trained facilitators for every support group, and offer a soothing environment in which to meet. Then we allow the Tpower of peer support to help mend broken hearts. In 2012, we were able to serve 87% of all the people who called Hospice Caring for bereavement support. In total, 174 individuals participated in 15 The den, where bereaved adults find groups. In any given week, 8-12 groups met at one of our two group locations: peace and comfort during support group the Hospice Caring Cottage or Sunrise Assisted Living in Rockville. meetings at the Hospice Caring Cottage. While six of our support groups are ongoing, the rest are short-term. We know that the ending of a support group can feel like another loss so our Hospice Caring provided short-term groups have a soft ending. After meeting for a predetermined peer-support groups for 174 number of weeks, groups have monthly “reunions” at which they catch up and focus on lingering issues. Usually the members themselves determine when it bereaved adults in 2012. is time to enter fully into their new lives. Ongoing Groups: We always try to meet the needs of those who call us for support. If we don’t • Coping with a Suicide Loss have a group for a specific need, we will create one if there are enough people • Bereaved Mothers of Adult Children to warrant it. In 2012, we facilitated an Anticipatory Grief group for family (2 groups ) members whose loved ones with terminal illnesses lived in other states. We also had a group for bereaved young adults whose members ranged in age • Young Spousal Loss from 15 to 26 years. For the fourth year in a row, we offered “Getting through • Senior Spousal Loss the Holidays” from early November 2012 through early January 2013, a time of year that often triggers grief. • Spousal Loss: Moving Forward

In 2012, we had three Parent Loss groups for adults and three Spousal Loss Short-Term Groups: groups for those in their 50s and 60s. Because all of those groups are closed to • Anticipatory Grief new members after the second session, intimacy evolves easily and members often form strong friendships that long outlast the actual groups. • Young Adults • Parent Loss Over the years, several former group members have become our best • Spousal Loss – 50s/60s volunteer facilitators and many support Hospice Caring both financially and by volunteering at our fundraising events. • Getting through the Holidays

Children’s Bereavement: In the Schools, at the Cottage, and at Camp Caring

The statistics are staggering. According to a literature review by Columbia University, 70% of primary schools have bereaved students and 85% of secondary schools report post-bereavement problems. The same report states that 83% of bereaved children who receive support return to normal functioning in their schoolwork, psychology, and emotions in a little more than a year. The programs offered by Hospice Caring help. TGood Grief Clubs We have been facilitating seven-week bereavement groups in the schools since 1998. A specially-trained Hospice Caring volunteer and a school counselor partner and meet for seven weeks with the group of students who are grieving the death of a loved one. The curriculum and all materials are provided by Hospice Caring.

To date, our award-winning Good Grief Clubs have been held in 55% of the 195 public schools in Montgomery County (41% of elementary schools; 87% of middle schools; 76% of high schools). In the school year 2011-2012, our volunteers facilitated 40 groups in 30 schools, touching the lives of 262 bereaved children.

8 “It helped me overcome the loss of my Mom.” —Middle Schooler

Children’s Bereavement continued After School Grief Relief For the third year, adults and children came weekly to the Cottage every Thursday after school to grieve the deaths of their loved ones. We also had two Summer Grief Relief Programs, once in July and once in August. Typically the families consist of a parent and children, but we have also welcomed aunts and uncles and grandparents who are here with their nieces and granddaughters. As the children get to know each other, they can’t wait to see their new friends each week. Meetings were held in the Cottage Resource Room, a bright yellow space filled with children’s books and Winnie the Pooh on the wall. Gently facilitated by our volunteers, families shared their feelings through art, poetry, games, and circle time. The open communication carries over into their home lives allowing the families to heal together.

Health Classes In Montgomery County, each tenth-grade student is required to have one semester of Health. A unit in that class is “Loss and Grief.” Teachers welcome us to talk about this difficult topic. Our well-structured program includes having the students delve into how the death of a loved one might affect them and how to be supportive to a friend who is grieving. Our trained volunteers taught eight days of health classes in four high schools, touching the lives of 1,141 students.

Camp Caring June 1 began as a quiet, warm, and uneventful day at the Cottage. We were looking forward to the arrival of 56 Big and Little Buddies and the 11 other volunteers for the Camp Caring weekend. Out of nowhere the most incredible storm, with tornado warnings right behind, descended upon the Cottage. The buses arrived, the Little and Big Buddies arrived, everyone checked in, and everyone arrived safely at camp.

Our wonderful volunteers, Ila Beck and Edith Powers, again provided handmade quilts and bears for our campers. Thanks to the Kay family each volunteer and camper received three beautiful Camp Caring T-shirts and a hat for the weekend. As the fog lifted and the sun shined brightly, the dance, campfire, the maze and the treasure boxes were loved by everyone. Camp Caring’s mission to provide bereavement to children who have lost a loved one is successful because of the energy and spirit of the volunteers. Our 11th year could not be defeated!

In 2012, 27 children attended Camp Caring.

9 Administrative and Event Volunteers

Administrative Volunteers

Currently, there are 20 administrative volunteers, totally approximately 100 hours each week in Hospice Caring’s office, the Cottage. Their time of service ranges from new of a few months to almost 20 years with Hospice Caring. CThe work completed by the administrative volunteers is a crucial component of our activities and encompasses all the day-to-day administrative tasks and projects necessary for the successful operations of a company including but not limited to answering the telephones, organizing materials, inventorying and ordering Cottage and office supplies, completing mailings, completing specific research projects, working with the specific programs (Patient and Family, Adult Bereavement, and Children’s Bereavement), as well as with finance and the Executive Director, and being responsible for Hospice Caring’s IT needs.

Hospice Caring’s Cottage is within Bohrer Park. The Cottage sits among lovely gardens that include a gazebo, a meditative labyrinth, and the Honor and Memorial Garden. Garden Committee volunteers take full responsibility to ensure the beauty of the grounds, from seasonal clean-ups, prunings, plantings, to surrounding the Cottage entrances with large pots with stunning displays of annuals during the spring and summer seasons.

Event Volunteers

Hospice Caring’s event volunteers continue to increase as the number of our events increase. They volunteer to assist, coordinate, chair committees prior to and in preparation of events, as well as actively participate during the actual events.

An example of one of our fundraising events was the Hospice Caring gift wrap event. Once again, we were asked by two Barnes & Noble’s locations to be a charity beneficiary of their gift wrap program. The event at both locations totaled 38 days (at one location from Friday, November 25 through Saturday, December 24, and at the second location from Saturday, December 10 through Saturday, December 24). The set-up for both locations included 4 4-hour shifts/day, with 2 volunteers per shift. Hospice Caring recruited over 150 “veteran” and new volunteers, totaling 572 volunteer hours, and the event resulted in more than double the original expected budgeted amount.

From the evaluations received from the gift wrap volunteers, a majority are eager to join us again for this event, and many new-to-Hospice Caring volunteers have expressed interest in volunteering with us for other events throughout the year.

Other Hospice Caring events have included volunteers in roles of lead coordinator, committee chair, fundraiser, donor, as well as participant.

10 “The training was so thorough. I feel privileged to have taken part in it.” — Volunteer training student feedback

Volunteer Training for Caregivers and Facilitators

Hospice Caring is shaped around its distinctive core values— strength, gentleness, empathy, kindness, compassion, respect, selflessness, friendship, honor, fortitude, advocacy, acceptance, love, and belief in others. We carry these values throughout all of our programs, and instill them within our unique volunteer Htraining. During our three-day volunteer training, offered four times each year, we share the compassionate gift of “presence”—to be with the patient and/or the family as a friend or an advocate, and with kindness and gentleness. Training sessions are formed around topics that relate specifically to areas in which the volunteer may find him/herself involved, those being: death and dying, wills and durable power of attorney, physical aspects and the volunteer, All Hospice Caring volunteers who work directly with communication, spectrum of caring, and taking care of oneself. clients in our Patient and Family, Adult Bereavement, Throughout the training, professional speakers and a dedicated and Children’s Bereavement programs are required to staff make our training a profound and unique training experience. take our Volunteer Training. All training is held in the Hospice Caring Cottage resource room. After the training, volunteers may choose the support services they wish to provide—caregiving, adult bereavement facilitation, and/or children’s bereavement facilitation (including Good Grief Clubs, After-School Grief Relief, and Camp Caring). These programs are also presented and discussed during training, as well as a session on experiential learning.

Hospice Caring’s Indoor Mural Garden, dedicated February 2 at the Board and Trustee Reception, is a one-of-a-kind mural highlighting our program services and core values. This mural also provides fundraising opportunities in the form of creative and personal Memorial Tributes in honor and memory of loved ones. The hallway where the mural is being created links the old and new at Hospice Caring and symbolizes a bridge to new possibilities. Bringing the beauty of our gardens indoors will add warmth and inspiration for all to experience. As it evolves, it promises to be a cherished focal point in the Hospice Caring Cottage. The mural is another magical addition to the Cottage by artist Kitty McNaughton, HSpirit Designs.

Golf Tournament

On Monday, June 18, the 6th Annual Hospice Caring Golf Tournament was held at the Montgomery Village Golf Club, Montgomery Village, Maryland. The golfers enjoyed breakfast before teeing off. The weather was a little tough, but our golfers were tougher. They managed to have a good time in the cold rain, doing something they love, while supporting Hospice Caring and their community. The golfers returned to the club to celebrate their day with cupcakes provided by The Cakery, delicious BBQ Ribs, and fantastic prizes.

OThe funds raised by this event will have a great impact on Hospice Caring programs that reach out to patient and families during the darkest times of their lives. We would like to thank our sponsors, golfers, and volunteers who joined us in making this event a success. We hope you can join us next year at our 7th Annual Hospice Caring Golf Tournament!

Wings of Caring

Sunshine and wind created the backdrop for Hospice Caring’s fourth annual Wings of Caring butterfly release and honor event on Saturday, September 8. We are grateful for the support and talents of the many volunteers who helped make it a success. The afternoon began with the opportunity for guests to walk through the butterfly tent, filled with 200 monarch butterflies. Flowers to attract the butterflies were donated by Steve Orenstein of Edge Floral Event. A lovely string quartet provided background music to the outdoor activities.

SThe Seneca Valley High School ROTC Color Guard ceremony began the program. Approximately 80 guests were invited into the Cottage to hear poetry, music, a personal remembrance, the dedication of memorial bricks, the reading of all the inscriptions along our walkway, and the reading of names of those being remembered and honored. At the conclusion of the program, while “Over the Rainbow” and “It’s a Wonderful World” played, guests went back outside to enjoy the sight of the release of the butterflies. Guests who had purchased memorial bricks were given long-stemmed roses to lay on their newly installed bricks along the path in the garden.
