Fred and Mystel Shiney Jr. of Arcadia celebrated their 72nd wedding anniversary on March 16th with a dozen red roses and a lifetime of memories. Tracey Toms, an RN who joined Gentiva Hospice during the COVID pandemic, saw the anniversary announcement on Fred’s door at Journey Senior Services. In the true spirit of Gentiva’s mission of “making the most of every moment”, Tracey orchestrated the celebration, bought the dozen red roses and arranged all the details. Fred’s eyes were locked on Mystel, and tears fell down his cheeks as Mystel recounted the ups and downs of their life together. What a special moment. Kudos to Tracey for capturing this special moment of Fred and Mystel’s lives together. Congratulations, Fred and Mystel!

Death is hard enough, but death with pain is a constant debilitating struggle. Anyone nearing the end of life, struggling with severe pain, does not want to hold on and wait it out. They do not want to feel this way until they take their last breath. If given the opportunity to ask them what they want or need and have a voice, listen to them and respect their wishes.

The only consistencies we should have when caring for someone at the end of life is that it should always be done with kindness, compassion, respect, and honesty. You get those consistencies with Gentiva. We have a team of experts who work with you, not just for you. Call us today at 712-792-2191.

Gentiva Hospice will be your advocate, making your wishes known and speaking for you if you cannot speak for yourself. Call today if you or someone you know is facing the end of your life. Let us guide you through the journey with kind and compassionate help at 712-792-2191.

When given a terminal diagnosis with six months or less to live, please don't wait for the last days or weeks to start hospice.

It is a plan of care for the diagnosis and can reduce struggle, distress, and suffering for the terminal patient.

When we lose someone, the grief we feel does not expire. There is no magical date when everything you are feeling ends. You won't ever get over it. Grief is a partner for life. We learn to live with it despite how hard it is. It might become easier to tolerate some days. We might even forget it's there some days. But grief is always with us, and it always will be.

Gentiva provides grief and bereavement support for 13 months after a loved one has passed. Grief is unique for each of us. No one can tell you how to do it, but Gentiva will help. Call us today for any and all hospice needs at 712-792-2191.

People tend to see hospice as a "death sentence." Hospice is not a diagnosis. It is a plan of care for the diagnosis. You won't die sooner because you start the care or receive support. It is the illness and the disease process that ends a life.

Receiving end-of-life care can often offer someone a better quality of life at the end. It won't happen sooner because you accepted care, any more than it will slow things down if you don't.

Call Gentiva to get the help and support you deserve when end-of-life care is needed 712-792-2191.

07/07/2023

If given a terminal diagnosis that suggests six months or less, please consider hospice care. If you are on hospice care, you can receive a team to help support you with symptom management, supplies, resources, education, and information.

Hospice is for the person in the bed and those at the bedside. The sooner you start, the sooner you are supported. Don't hold off or wait until those last days or hours. Call Gentiva today. Our team will get you started with all these resources. 712-792-2191
