The Wishing Well Program: Where Dreams Come True

What’s the one thing you wish you could provide for someone you love? Maybe it’s watching their grandchildren graduate, tasting their mother’s apple pie one more time, or returning to the place where they first fell in love. Life is complete because of the things we’ve enjoyed, and our Wishing Well program believes every person deserves the chance to experience something meaningful during their journey.

Town Square Hospice transforms wishes into reality because we understand that sometimes the most powerful medicine comes from fulfilling a dream.

Simple Wishes, Profound Impact

Not every wish requires elaborate planning. Some of our most touching experiences involve bringing a beloved pet for visits, arranging video calls with distant relatives, or recreating a favorite family recipe in partnership with senior living communities and care communities. These seemingly small gestures often create the most powerful moments of connection and peace.

We’ve helped families organize surprise visits from old friends, coordinate viewing parties for important sports games, and even arrange for musicians to perform favorite songs. The good stuff in life doesn’t stop being important just because someone is receiving hospice care.

Adventurous Dreams

Our Wishing Well charity has coordinated trips to NBA games for lifelong basketball fans and visits to local zoos for animal lovers. We would love to help arrange fishing expeditions for those who found peace by the water and garden tours for individuals who spent decades nurturing plants. Think of granting a memorable wish involving recreating a couple’s first date at a drive-in movie theater.

Whether someone dreams of seeing their childhood home one more time or attending a grandchild’s wedding, our team works creatively to make these experiences comfortable and unforgettable.

How We Fulfill Your Loved One’s Wish

Personal Consultation and Planning

Every wish begins with a conversation. Our compassionate team meets with patients and families in assisted living facilities, senior living communities, or family homes to understand what would bring the most joy. We serve as advocates for seniors, listening carefully to both spoken wishes and unspoken dreams.

Sometimes the terminally ill haven’t thought about wishes because they’re focused on medical concerns. Our team gently explores interests, hobbies, and relationships to identify meaningful possibilities that might not have been considered.

Coordinated Care and Well-Being

Medical safety remains our priority during every wish fulfillment. We coordinate with healthcare providers, arrange necessary medical equipment, and ensure appropriate medical supervision. Our nurses and care team members often accompany families during wish experiences, providing peace of mind while enabling joyful moments.

We work closely with education programs, support groups, and community organizations to create experiences that benefit senior participants while maintaining comfort and dignity throughout the process.

Family-Centered Approach

The Wishing Well program recognizes that meaningful experiences often involve entire families. We help coordinate visits from distant relatives, arrange family reunions, and create opportunities for shared memories. Many wishes focus on legacy projects like recording family stories, creating photo albums, or passing down important traditions to younger generations.

Creating Joy Beyond Medical Care

While medical support addresses physical comfort, the Wishing Well program nourishes the spirit and celebrates what makes each person remarkable. We believe that quality of life includes opportunities for happiness, connection, and personal fulfillment, regardless of health circumstances.

This senior charity approach recognizes that people remain whole individuals with dreams, interests, and relationships even while receiving hospice services. Fulfilling wishes honors the complete person rather than focusing solely on medical needs.
