Angela Hospice’s Dedication to Quality Care

May 14, 2026

If you’ve heard the announcement from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) about efforts to root out fraud in hospice care and moratoria for agency enrollments, you may be wondering if Angela Hospice is being affected by this news.

The moratoria announced is directed at new hospice and home health agencies enrolling in Medicare, but as a longstanding hospice provider, Angela Hospice will continue to operate as usual.

Angela Hospice has been serving the community of southeast Michigan for over forty years, and we were the first hospice in Michigan to open a freestanding inpatient hospice Care Center.

You can rest assured that Angela Hospice’s commitment to providing compassionate, quality care has never wavered. This commitment is evidenced by Angela Hospice’s accreditation through Community Health Accreditation Partner (CHAP), a CMS approved accreditor. The public can also review Angela Hospice’s status on CMS’s Hospice Compare website, an online tool that measures hospice providers according to family caregiver feedback surveys. Currently Angela Hospice is highly rated as a 4-star hospice.

It is an honor to carry out this sacred work.”

Celebrating World Music Therapy Week

Apr 10, 2026

Music therapists across the globe are celebrating World Music Therapy Week to advocate for the benefits of music therapy to improve lives all over the world. While music may sound different from land to land, music has similarities in how we express our humanity.

Did you know most countries use music in play, to accompany work, tell stories of our ancestry or culture, support spiritual identities, celebrate, sooth babies, learn information (such as the alphabet song), support times of mourning, or for simple enjoyment? Music is an accessible companion that expresses who we are and validates our emotions. While music is in one sense is a universal language; it is in another sense deeply personal and effects each individual in a unique way.

The RAIN Technique for Grief

The RAIN Technique for Grief

Apr 1, 2026

We’ve all heard the seasonal adage that “April showers bring May flowers.” Not only does the rain create an environment which enables spring flowers to bloom, but it also offers us a poignant reminder of the importance of self-compassion. If ever there were a time to be kind and compassionate with ourselves, it would be when we are grieving – and yet, we are often our own worst critics, telling ourselves stories about how we “should” grieve. We can be impatient with ourselves, believing that grief is taking “too long” or that we are grieving “incorrectly.” It can be hard to show up for ourselves with patience and a sense of self-compassion.
