Local business supports Rose Garden Hospice
A local business is bringing a Prince Albert hospice one step closer to reality.
Don Moriarty, manager of River Park Funeral Home, donated $2,500 to the Rose Garden Hospice Association on Feb. 15.
“I work very closely in my professional capacity with people coming into the last days of their life, and presently hospitals do a good job,” Moriarty said. “But, if you’ve ever been to a real hospice, you’d understand that people’s end-of-life experience there is so much better than in a big institution.”
Moriarty experienced the difference in treatment while visiting a hospice in Regina. He said his sister spent the last month of her life with wonderful care from the staff there. Moriarty said he would like the same kind of supports to be available to people and families in Prince Albert in the future.
