Marjorie A. Smith, LCSW, recently accepted the position of Executive Director at Aurora House Comfort Care Home in Spencerport. Smith comes to Aurora House from a local Hospice Agency after eight years as a Home Hospice Social Worker. Her role concentrated on supporting terminally ill patients as they navigated the last stage of their lives, with focus on the dignity and comfort of the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. Her commitment to and love of Hospice grew from her personal experience with family members receiving Hospice care. Smith graduated from Roberts Wesleyan College with a Bachelor’s in Organizational Management, and returned to Roberts to complete her Masters of Social Work. Prior to Hospice, she worked in the mental health field as a therapist.
All services of Aurora House are offered free of charge through the generosity and compassion of friends and neighbors. In Decemember, $12,000 was donated to the Aurora House Lights of Remembrance in honor of loved ones. Those funds will help the House continue to serve those in need of comfort care.
