Gift of a Day Feature Story May 2025

Gift of a Day

We develop unique plans of care that include a Gift of a Day, our special program inspired by author Jim Stovall’s popular book “The Ultimate Gift.” Since its inception, we have helped thousands of hospice patients experience the perfect day. That day is based on the question: “If you had one perfect day, what would it look like?” Our staff members, volunteers and local businesses work together to bring these perfect days to life for our hospice patients.

Celebrating Five Friends who are 100 or Older!

Classic Cars were part of the NEO Gift of a Day

Living past 100 is a milestone worth celebrating. That’s according to the Pleasant Pointe Assisted Living facility. In collaboration with Crossroads in Northeast Ohio a centenarian birthday celebration was planned.

One of the centenarians is Crossroads patient Susan Sturgill, age 103. The celebration was her Gift of a Day and it went off beautifully.

Susan and four friends, including Dolores who was celebrating her birthday that very day, were honored with a party and classic car parade. Finger foods, a cupcake cake and the centenarians posing for photos with the classic cars delighted family and friends assembled for the occasion.

Two television stations covered the special birthday bash resulting in seven feature segments building both Crossroads and Pleasant Pointe’s visibility in the market. Leaders at Pleasant Pointe were appreciative and enthusiastic about the awesome collaboration and the media coverage generated, thanks to Crossroads.
