Stillwater Hospice Kalispell

A hospice plan of care isn’t created once and forgotten.

The interdisciplinary team meets regularly to discuss:

• Pain and symptom changes
• Medication effectiveness
• Emotional and spiritual needs
• Personal goals and care preferences
• Equipment or supply needs
• Caregiver concerns and support
• Changes in the patient’s condition

This ongoing collaboration keeps care personalized, responsive, and aligned with what matters most to each patient and family.

Hospice care is never the work of just one person.

Nurses, physicians, CNAs, social workers, spiritual counselors, volunteers and bereavement professionals work together to support each patient and family physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Every role matters. Every voice helps shape the plan of care.

🌟 Our August My Why story comes from Kristy Naylor, Director of Clinical Services at our Kalispell agency.

Her hospice journey began while working at an assisted living facility on Maui, where partnering with hospice nurses reminded her why she became a nurse in the first place. What she thought would lead her to a master’s degree instead led her to her calling.

Today, she carries the lessons and stories of hundreds of patients and families with her—along with a nursing legacy that began with her great-grandmother in Eastern Montana more than a century ago.

Thank you, Kristy, for leading with compassion, supporting your team, and helping our patients and families feel cared for and never alone.

August is National Wellness Month—a reminder that wellness looks different in every season of life.

In hospice, wellness can look like:

✅ Relief from pain and other symptoms

✅ Restful, peaceful moments at home

✅ Meaningful time with loved ones

✅ Emotional and spiritual support

✅ Feeling heard, respected and cared for

✅ Support for family caregivers

It isn’t about doing more. It’s about protecting what matters most.

How the Interdisciplinary Team Works Together

“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes… including you.”
— Anne Lamott

A gentle Sunday reminder for caregivers:

Rest is not something you earn. It is something you need.

Take a breath. Step outside. Be gentle with yourself today.

Independence may change over time — but it does not disappear.

One of the biggest misconceptions about hospice is that it takes independence away. In reality, early hospice often helps patients maintain comfort, dignity, and autonomy longer through symptom management and supportive care.

Sometimes independence looks like:

💠 Staying at home

💠 Having pain managed

💠 Conserving energy for meaningful moments

💠 Making personal choices about care
