Dorothy Marquez has spent the last month with her brother Gerald Moya in a Downtown Albuquerque hospice home, reminiscing about their childhoods or his lime green 1964 Chevrolet Impala lowrider he loved to show off.

Moya, 59, is battling stage 4 lung cancer and has days to live.

鈥淚 tell him he could let go. He could go now,鈥� Marquez said. 鈥淏ut the thing is, he鈥檚 worried about me. 鈥榃hat am I going to do? How are they going to help me?鈥� he asks.

鈥淚 tell him, 鈥楬ey, I鈥檒l be OK.鈥欌��

is doing its best to ensure Moya feels comfortable.

鈥淚鈥檓 very happy because he鈥檚 not in pain and he鈥檚 not out there just laying on the road because that鈥檚 what he鈥檇 probably be doing because we don鈥檛 have a place to go,鈥� Marquez said. 鈥淲e鈥檙e both homeless.鈥�

Since April, the hospice home on Tijeras NW, near Seventh Street, has served as a place for people who are unhoused or have low incomes to spend their final days with loved ones.

鈥淥ur culture throws dying people away and hides them behind closed doors,鈥� said Miles Gloetzner, Inhora鈥檚 founder and executive director. 鈥淎nd they deserve better. They deserve dignity and compassion, not an easy pill to just end it all.鈥�

鈥業t鈥檚 not just a place to die鈥�

Gloetzner, who served as a registered nurse at the Raymond G. Murphy Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center for 11 years, said he came up with the idea to open Inhora in 2022.

鈥淟ife at the end requires 24/7 caregiving, you know, a lot of presence, a lot of work, a lot of effort, a lot of support,鈥� he said. 鈥淎nd everyday people like me can鈥檛 afford that and make that possible, but you know, it鈥檚 just sad that we have to have wealth in order to have a good death.

鈥淪o, we鈥檙e the only solution for those that can鈥檛 afford it.鈥�

Inhora is Latin for 鈥渁t the hour,鈥� or as the group explains on its website, 鈥淲e journey with persons who are 鈥榓t the hour of death鈥� and with their families.鈥� It鈥檚 a nonprofit 鈥渟ocial model hospice home鈥� that offers person-centered care in a non-institutionalized setting 鈥� homes that are designed to feel like a home away from home.

鈥�(A hospice) provides each of our guests with the important medical side of care while we offer the home and caregiving,鈥� Gloetzner said.

Inhora rents the house from Immaculate Conception Church and can have up to three patients at a time. The nonprofit prioritizes unhoused or low-income people, veterans and those with disabilities.

鈥淚f we have space and there isn鈥檛 a waiting list, we鈥檒l care for anyone who needs it,鈥� he said. 鈥淲e envision a future in which there is a home like ours available for every person in each community 鈥� regardless of income or otherwise.鈥�

A patient鈥檚 family, friends or a hospice can contact Inhora and request a room.

鈥淯ltimately, we need hospice to make the official referral and it鈥檚 simplest if they are the first to contact us,鈥� he said.

The service is free, though the home costs $150,000 a year to run, according to Inhora鈥檚 .

鈥淲e don鈥檛 have government funding,鈥� Gloetzner said. 鈥淲e鈥檙e just powered by volunteers and donors, people who believe in it. And part of the value of all this is we feed not only the patients, but the guests themselves. Everybody is a family here. Everybody is taken care of. It鈥檚 not just a place to die.鈥�

Guests stay in rooms furnished with a bed and couch and adorned with artwork. Common areas include a living room, kitchen, chapel and backyard.

It is all about the families and patients being comfortable, Inhora Board Chairwoman Victoria Pruitt said.

鈥楴ot letting people die alone鈥�

Inhora has several volunteers, like Susan Burgener, who said it is a calling.

鈥淏ack when COVID was happening and people were dying by themselves 鈥� because everybody was afraid to go talk to them or be with them, or let them in the hospitals and families couldn鈥檛 visit 鈥� I started praying that no one would die alone,鈥� Burgener said. 鈥淲hen this came up and we toured this (place) as part of their open house, I realized what this is about: not letting people die alone.

鈥淚 was like, 鈥極h, that鈥檚 an answer to my prayer.鈥欌��

Along with a hospice staff and volunteers is an end-of-life doula who provides non-medical support to dying patients and their families, such as planning a funeral and doing chores.

Death has been described as the veil between heaven and Earth, Gloetzner said.

鈥淎nd I鈥檝e got to say, I believe that is true,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 the climax of our humanity. The climax is the peak of our existence in life. So being there when that last breath is taken is very powerful.鈥�
