Our Community

"Arm in arm, Mom and I entered in, shedding our roles as caregivers and reclaiming our identities as mother and daughter. We were greeted by a volunteer and guided to a quiet waiting space. The provider sat with us after evaluating Dad, ensuring he would be cared for and kept comfortable in a way we could not guarantee him at home. Upon entering his room, he was tucked in under a beautiful quilt, the sun shining across his face." — Abbey Clair

Hospice volunteers play a vital part in the “circle of care” at the Aroostook House of Comfort. Northern Light Home Care & Hospice, our Medicare-certified hospice care provider is offering hospice volunteer training this spring.

The Aroostook Hospice Foundation, owner of the Aroostook House of Comfort, was honored to have received a donation from the Men of Tyre, Northern Maine Chapter of the Widows Sons Masonic Riders Association.

Donations help to ensure that the Aroostook House of Comfort can continue to serve community members with quality and compassionate hospice care, regardless of their ability to pay. Thank you to the Northern Maine Antique Tractor Club for your continued support of our mission.

“The Aroostook House of Comfort, to me and my family, was a place in Presque Isle that we knew as “The Hospice House.  On August 3, our family started looking at this place in a different light and will continue to do so for the rest of our lives. When we drove up, the first thing we noticed was the beautiful landscaping, the peaceful aura of the place itself, and the warm, inviting atmosphere of the building.” – Tony Lahey
