Earlier this year, Brad White, President of Westside Professional Landscape, lost his mom. During her last few weeks, she was placed in hospice. This experience had a profound impact on Brad, his wife, Heather, and family. When he discovered that a hospice home was being built in Chili, he knew he had to get involved. He contacted the Story of Hope Comfort Care Home Founder, Arlene Nanry, and became a partner with them to help get things finished so the home could open.
In August, approximately three weeks from opening the home, there was a major rain storm that completely flooded the property where the house sits, causing one of the basement walls to collapse and fill with water. After assessing the damage, the foundation has been determined safe to repair, but at a cost, as this damage was not covered by insurance. Once the repairs are completed, the goal is to open the comfort care home within a month.
The community is invited to partner with the team at Westside Professional Landscape as they work to help the Story of Hope Comfort Care Home rebuild and open.
