Our programs

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Abbie Hunt Bryce Home

Imagine being given six months of less to live with nowhere to go and no one to care for you. This is the reality for many senior hospice individuals until they come to live at Morning Light’s Abbie Hunt Bryce Home. Our mission is fairly straightforward: The Abbie Hunt Bryce Home is a residence providing compassionate, respectful and dignified support to the senior citizens of Central Indiana who are terminally-ill and without financial resources. In essence, it is our mission to provide peace and comfort to those in their final days of life, regardless of means or social status.

What makes us different? We are not an institution, hospice home, or nursing home. Our Home is zoned as residential and is truly that. We serve between 45-75 terminally-ill individuals a year in our Home – at no cost to the individual! We do not require insurance or reimbursement as payment can be a barrier for receiving end of life care. Our home is “community owned and supported.”
