Book of the Week
Finish Strong: Putting YOUR Priorities First at Lifeā€™s End
by Barbara Coombs Lee

Talking about death can be difficult, but having these conversations can help us live more fully and make choices that reflect what matters most to us.

In Finish Strong, Barbara Coombs Lee offers practical guidance on preparing for the end of life ā€” from meaningful conversations with family and healthcare providers to understanding hospice, protecting quality of life, and making sure your wishes are heard.

A thoughtful reminder that planning for the end of life isn't about giving up. Itā€™s about knowing what matters to you and having a voice in the care you receive.

Our story stretches back more than five decades. Since 1969, Better Living has continued to grow alongside the changing needs of the communities we serve.

Over the years, new programs and services have been introduced, partnerships have grown, and our reach has expanded to support adults and seniors at different stages of their care journey.
As Better Living Health and Community Services marks 50 years, weā€™re looking back at some of the moments that have shaped who we are today and celebrating everyone who has been part of our story along the way.

Take a look at our journey through the years.

Every morning brings new potential, but only if you make the first move.
