The 1st annual Pajamarama Gala 2021 was held on Friday, November 12, 2021 at The Park City Club. Arcy Healthcare was the presenting sponsor for the amazing and successful fundraising event.
Sixty percent of seniors in skilled nursing facilities never receive any visitors and are limited to $60 a month to spend on personal expenses. Most of those seniors’ only option of clothing is the typical hospital gown. The standard gown not only leaves them partially exposed, but in a larger sense, robs them of their personal dignity, identity and comfort.
The great need to help seniors was recognized by Jo Alch, the founder of Pajamas for Seniors. The Pajamarama Gala raised in excess of $50k to go towards providing pajamas for these seniors. Arcy Healthcare is thrilled to have been invited to take part in such a wonderful cause.

My name is Jimmie Stapleton. I am the founder and CEO of Arcy Healthcare. Arcy Healthcare includes Arcy Hospice, Arcy Supportive Care, MaximaCare Home Health and Arcy at Home.
Arcy Hospice was opened in 2007 to provide care and support for individuals and families facing a life limiting illness. It was established after my wife Ellen, who had been diagnosed with breast cancer, had completed her chemo and radiation therapies. At that time, things were looking positive, and we wanted to do something for our community that had been so supportive of our family during her treatments. Unfortunately, the cancer returned a few years later, and she subsequently passed away under our care in 2010.
In the years that followed, I began to see the need to provide the same level of excellent care to patients across the continuum of care. Therefore, we have added a home health division (MaximaCare Home Health), a palliative care division (Arcy Supportive Care), and a home care division, (Arcy at Home). With the addition of these divisions, we can meet most of the post-acute care needs for you and your family in your home.
I started Arcy Hospice with my wife as my motivation to provide exceptional care and support in the patient’s home, where they are surrounded by family and where they feel most comfortable. I’m proud to say that our staff provides some of the best in home care in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area.
Please let us know if we can enrich the quality of life for you or a loved one.
Sincerely,
Jimmie Stapleton – Founder and CEO
