The Shanti Niketan Hospice Home is a residential hospice facility located in Glasgow, Kentucky, developed by the T.J. Community Mission Foundation to address a critical need for compassionate end-of-life care in the region. The facility is named after Dr. Bharat Mody's contribution, with "Shanti Niketan" meaning "a peaceful place" in his native language. The hospice home provides a serene, home-like environment for patients with life-limiting illnesses and their families, focusing on comfort, dignity, and emotional support during the end-of-life journey.
Spacious and Private Rooms
Each of the eight patient rooms has access to a private patio, designed to provide comfort and tranquility.
Family Gathering Spaces
The home includes two living rooms with fireplaces, bookshelves, and quiet areas for prayer and meditation, ensuring families can gather in a supportive setting.
Comprehensive Care
The hospice home offers a full range of emotional, spiritual, and palliative care, with medical treatments available as needed.
Community-Driven
The project was made possible through community donations, partnerships, and a significant USDA loan, showing the strong commitment of the local community to this much-needed facility.

Drive for 55
Building a Legacy of Compassionate Care
The Drive for 55 campaign is an important initiative designed to support the long-term success of the Shanti Niketan Hospice Home. Our goal is to secure 55 one-time contributions or multi-year commitments of $20,000, which will help pay off the remaining construction loans and create a sustainable endowment for the ongoing care and support provided by the Hospice Home.
By contributing to this campaign, you are directly impacting the lives of families facing end-of-life challenges, ensuring that they have access to the compassionate care and peace of mind offered at Shanti Niketan.
Matching Gift Opportunity
Donations of $20,000 or more will be matched by an additional $5,000, maximizing the impact of your contribution.
Sustaining Care for the Future
Each $20,000 donation represents one month of loan repayment for the construction of the home, relieving the debt obligation for the Home.
Leave a Lasting Legacy
Your donation will not only help meet today’s needs but will also establish an endowment to ensure Shanti Niketan's services remain available for generations to come.
