A new hospice home is expected to open in Burton [MI] this summer. ... By creating a guest home in Burton, individuals will receive hospice care in a home-like setting to live out their final days instead of a hospital. ... “We’ve been renovating it for the last six months just making it safe for people,” said Diane Welker, one of the group’s founders and a retired palliative care nurse practitioner at Hurley Medical Center. The foundation received a $4,300 grant from Home Depot to pay for the flooring, and the Community Foundation of Greater Flint provided a $45,000 grant to help with renovations.
