The theme for this National Assisted Living Week is “Ageless Adventure.” Our work regularly gives us a front row seat to the way these communities empower residents to stay active, engaged, and supported. If you have a family member or loved one in assisted living, we encourage you to spend time with them discovering the things that have brought meaning to their lives.

Meet Linda Byrd, a CNA who has been on the team since 2021! Linda states that Mrs. Christy Wyche is one of her biggest inspirations! "It's such a privilege to help families and educate them. Occasionally, we get to laugh together. Hospice is not another job for me. It's a calling. It's a ministry that I love dearly. I'm glad that I am a part of it." Something that most people do not know about Linda is that she was raised by her grandmother, and she is a very good cook!

Meet our Week Day On-Call Nurse, Amanda Calhoun. She has been with us for 5 years! Amanda serves our patients and families after hours, meeting their needs outside regular business hours. Amanda's secret talent is that she can cook almost anything from scratch. Her biggest inspirations within the company are the nurses she works with, who put everything aside to ensure our families are well cared for and have support during some of the hardest days of their lives. Amanda states she has grown professionally while on our team because being a hospice nurse is not only about patient care but also about family care. "Death can be a scary time for patients and their families, but learning true empathy and understanding the challenges in home care now helps drive my desire to be a better advocate for the needs of each patient. As I have grown in hospice, I have learned to prepare care plans that give the greatest comfort possible to each family in what can be some of their darkest hours." Most people do not know that Amanda's greatest reward on any given day is putting a smile on someone's face. She takes pride in making people laugh or smile on some of the hardest days of their lives, whether it's the dying patient and their family or a co-worker having a bad day. Selflessness comes naturally for her in hospice care.
