Haven Care

In 2002, Wesbury resident Miss Opal Harned suggested a Haven Care program to create a hospice-like atmosphere where a critically ill resident can enjoy quiet family time around-the-clock in a private setting … regardless of his or her ability to pay.  Opal made a personal contribution to initiate the Haven Care program and invited her friends and neighbors to do the same.  A contribution of $63 would help cover the difference between a double occupancy room and a private room for one Haven Care resident for one day – and make those precious last days with loved ones more comfortable.  Contributions of 4 days or more ($252) will receive special acknowledgment at our annual Donor Recognition luncheon.


Our Haven Care program can provide:

 • The option for a private room when one is available

 • A hospitality cart with complimentary beverages and snacks for visiting family and friends

 • A condolence basket with a selection of soothing music,
  inspirational reading materials, and aromatic
  massage creams

 • Spiritual support from the family’s minister or our
  pastoral care staff

 • A Precious Memento keepsake box made by a thoughtful
  volunteer for treasured personal items

 • Caring and supportive staff and volunteers who will do
  everything possible to help during this difficult time
