Testimonials

“Without Hospice Care my family would have been lost. Hospice sent out nurses to ensure that my father was not in any pain and that he had everything he needed to be comfortable. They sent social workers to talk with my family and to ensure that we were all okay. "The scope of what Hospice does for a family is unreal. They took what would normally be a frightening situation and turned it into something very natural and beautiful. Now, when I look back on the whole experience, I remember my father in our very own home surrounded by those closest to him, exactly where he wanted to be. That, to me and my family, made this all a very peaceful experience. Thankyou." Caroline S.

“Carolina Hospice Care took care of my mother during the last months of her life.  It was a great comfort to know not only that my mother received such good care and was made as comfortable as possible during that time, but also that my Aunt was given the help and assistance she needed.  The dedication shown by your employees made it much easier on the family members and is greatly appreciated.  My mother died with dignity, and as I have been told, peacefully, for which I am forever grateful.”  Pamela M.

“When my husband was in the end stages of cancer and all conventional and experimental options of treatment were exhausted, making him comfortable, happy and as pain free as possible was the goal of Hospice. The typical hospital setting was not for us, even though we had the insurance to cover such treatment and facilities. We were most comfortable with our own home setting, with our family, for strength and support; for ourselves as well as my husband. All of our needs were met physically with muscles and supplies, and most of all emotionally with love and support in a situation that felt out of control at times. Hospice was there to make sure my husband was bathed, had clean linens and was even shaved. The nurses made sure we had enough medicine to keep him as pain free as possible. The social worker even offered to send a funeral director to our home, as requested by my husband, so he could participate with the arrangements.

It was because of Hospice that my husband's death transition was more natural, as it should be. He was always surrounded by the love of his family and a sense of participation with him was experienced. Death was natural, not hurried as with the typical hospital setting, with all the wires, intravenous tubes and nurses hurrying to cover the patient with a sheet and quickly cart them away on a gurney. We were allowed the opportunity to say things that you want to say to your loved one and there was real undisturbed time, unlike in a hospital setting. We were all more comfortable, and there was a feeling of control in what is typically and uncontrollable situation for family members and patient.

As a result, my husband was never alone, even on weekends when visits were fewer, Hospice was only a phone call away to offer advice, bring more medicine, or even make extra visits at our request. My most memorable and cherished memory is when my husband passed away and Hospice was there immediately to bathe and dress him in his favorite outfit as he was laid on our bed. A very special and patient nurse sat in a chair and let us has the time our family needed before letting him go. That was the most beautiful and peaceful feeling that Hospice allowed us to have some sort of closure.

Thank you Hospice for allowing my husband to maintain his dignity and providing the support, and comfort he deserved while in his end of life phase. Thank you Hospice for giving our whole family the dignity, support and comfort that we needed to cope with the hardest time in our lives. I could never repay Hospice for what it has done, except urge everyone to support it with your donations if ever given a chance. We did, by requesting that in lieu of flowers, that money be donated to the Hospice cause. It is amazing that it has been a year since my husband died and Hospice periodically contacted me to let me know that there were grief support groups available and small notes of support came on holidays and on the anniversary of his death. Attending a candlelight vigil in his honor was a particularly meaningful event that Hospice sponsors for families of deceased loved ones. I urge anyone facing the tumultuous experience of having to face a terminal illness with a loved one to let Hospice be your anchor. It certainly was for our family. I honestly don't know what we would have done without Hospice.”  Anne M
