When our founder was inspired to create Aurora House, the original logo she created symbolized the coming together of dedicated people who helped develop and literally build this house and organization. The graphic represented the beams of light seen in the Aurora Borealis and the “beams”, or supports, needed to make Aurora House a reality. Those beams included groups of people focused on fundraising, construction, and volunteers, to name a few.
As we move into our second decade of serving our community, our new logo represents the fulfillment of that initial work and the emphasis on the next chapter of the organization’s growth: ongoing commitment to end of life care and a new focus on support for the grieving.
The phenomenon that is Aurora House is often summed up in one single phrase, “Our volunteers are the heart of our home.”
Our new logo speaks this truth to all who see it.
The compassion and love they [the staff of Aurora House Comfort Care] showed to our Mom for the last six weeks [of her life] will never be forgotten. What more could a family want than when your Mom tells you she is so lucky to be at that home.
“I know my mom was in the best place for care, love, and attention. Thank you for all you do!”
“When I think about the house and the time we spent there, instead of painful and heart-breaking, I actually remember it with a fondness and the sense of peace my mom and I both experienced there.”
“I miss all the many friends I met and got to know who showed so much compassion to both of us (her mom–the resident and herself).”
“There are just no words to express how we feel for the honor, respect, caring, and love that not only my father received, but our whole family from everyone at Aurora House.”
“Not only did you extend your hands in a time of need, you opened your hearts to ‘strangers’ who didn’t know where to turn for help.”
“There was a calmness, love, and security I felt there and actually missed when I left. I could never express the gratefulness in my heart.”
