Butterfly Garden

In my last blog post regarding Circle of Life Hospice, I mentioned that we donated $10,000 to their Capital Campaign.  Well, at the end of last year, we decided to add an additional $5000 to that, making a total of $15,000 for 2011.  With that donation they are going to name one of the Butterfly Gardens at the new Legacy Village in-patient facility in memory of Miller:)!!!

Partners...in Expanding the Circle

Partners...
As a Partner, you allow us to provide excellent hospice care to the communities of Benton, Carroll, Madison, and Washington counties. We need your financial support to build and maintain the facilities where inpatient care, family bereavement support, community grief counseling, and administrative services are provided.

In Expanding
In 2007, Circle of Life was serving approximately 100 patients per day. At the end of 2010, our average daily census was more than 160 people, and we anticipate continued growth over the next five years. To continue the excellent quality of service for which Circle of Life is known, we will need more inpatient beds. Earlene Howard Hospice Home opened in Springdale in 2006 with 16 beds and 8 additional beds opened in 2009.  In Bentonville, Circle of Life opened 8 beds in a temporary building at Legacy Village in 2010.  We plan to build a 24-bed facility at Legacy Village that will open in 2013.

The Circle
Circle of Life is committed to providing compassionate end-of-life care for a person’s body, mind, spirit, and family when there is no longer a cure. This is accomplished by providing individualized care and support, whether in the patient’s home, at nursing and assisted-living facilities, the Earlene Howard Hospice Home or at the Hospice Home at Legacy Village.
