Last July 24, 2025 at our Inhora Home Summer Celebration of Lives Gathering, we launched the sign for the entire Inhora Home program which shows you all of our Love for each of our Resting Guests who have chosen our very calm, private, very blessed Home for their final physical journeys to their new eternal lives. This sign was shown and voted on by the first group of family members, volunteers, caregivers, nurses, even a few children or grandchildren of the adults there, they all seemed to love this new program sign! Now this new program sign is launched online here! Hope you will like or love it!
Here it is in 3 steps which fits the meaning/purpose & logo of the Inhora Home :
1) TIME: We meet you at your very personal body’s time to go soon…our staff of so many caring volunteers and helpers and nurses work with you all the way in the most comfort …
Martha shows the ASL sign for “time”
2) GUEST LYING DOWN: Which honors our very blessed Guest who has chosen to come stay at our so cozy home in Downtown Albuquerque NM, the Guest is lying down for however long he or she needs or wants to stay for the final weeks…
Martha shows the ASL sign for “lying down”
3) SUN: The Sun greets us all each morning no matter what, to bless us all with its loving light and warmth, sunshine and many of our Guests have chosen to greet the morning Sun or to go before the sun comes up, whatsoever is best for the guest…our program is so bright, full of Loving Light which surrounds each Guest and Albuquerque is known for over 350+ days of the Sun each year as well…
Martha shows the ASL sign for “sunrise”
I am truly humbled and also excited that our new Inhora Home program will be accessible to any terminally ill or elderly or cancer stricken Deaf or Deaf Plus Guest soon, we are now in our ASL Caregiver Training with a Deaf teacher and this is the teacher!
ComfortCare ASL Classes are now forming, the first class will be on Saturday August 30th 2-4 PM then we will have an August Month End Caregivers & Volunteers Appreciation Gathering afterwards, 4-6 PM, come learn more about Inhora Home!
