Planning Ahead for the Benefit of Others
In 2015 the board of directors of the T. J. Community Mission Foundation identified a critical need in our community for a residential hospice home for patients facing end-of-life care and where families can seek a place of comfort, counseling, and compassionate treatment in a home-like setting.
The name Shanti Niketan was selected by lead philanthropic supporter, Dr. Bharat Mody. In his native language, Shanti means “inner peace.” The full name translates to “a peaceful place.”
Neil Thornbury, CEO of T.J. Regional Health stated, “I’m excited about opening this wonderful resource that was made possible by a community committed to caring and I would like to thank all those people that made this a reality. In addition to Dr. Mody and the hundreds of other donors who have made gifts in support of this project, we also want to be sure to thank Farmers Rural Electric Cooperative Corporation and the USDA for their belief in our vision and provided us with a $2 million, zero percent interest loan that allowed us to be able to begin construction of the Shanti Niketan Hospice Home. We look forward to continuing to work with individuals and families to fully meet the capital costs associated with the construction of the incredible facility.”
The T.J. Community Mission Foundation invites you to become a partner with the Shanti Niketan Hospice Home. Ongoing giving opportunities will support capital responsibilities, associated programs such as compassionate palliative care, end-of-life planning, grief counseling, and family support, as well as an endowment to fund the operation of the Shanti Niketan Hospice Home in perpetuity.
With your help, we will continue to extend medical and nursing hospice care for families in a home-like setting—providing pain management, family and individual counseling, and the facilitation of end-of-life discussions and preparations.
Naming opportunities are available for various capital, program, and endowment components.
