Stoneleigh Hospice Residence is tuned in to world music

No one is better equipped to know what immediate family members of Hospice patients need better than those family members themselves.

Stoneleigh Residence.
That’s why Hospice of Lansing’s Stoneleigh Residence is outfitted with so many comforts and conveniences – many were suggested by family members and several were donated by friends and family as well.

Mini refrigerators in patients’ rooms. DVD players. Bird houses. Solar lights in the serene landscaping.

A grant from the Capital Region Community Foundation helped the Stoneleigh Residence add another convenience suggested by the adult son of a Hospice patient: Free Wi-Fi. The woman’s son was dedicated to staying by his mother’s side in the residence; however, the demands of his job required him to work remotely. Without Wi-Fi at Stoneleigh, he had to leave every time he needed Internet access.
