Stories of Dignity
“Every Sunday, I’m able to go to church and out to lunch. Without home hospice care, I wouldn’t be able to go out of the house.”
– Judy Waring, Former Patient
“At age 93, my husband had been in the hospital too many times and wanted to be at home. At first, our children were reluctant to call in hospice, but the Coastal Hospice nurse explained that hospice didn’t mean the end is near, but it’s about living. Home hospice care was such a help to us.”
– June Todd, Wife of a Former Patient
“When the nurse came in for our intake interview and said, ‘This isn’t about dying; this is about living’, that got me. Nobody else said that.”
– Clyde Adams, former patient with wife Tina
