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.

There are moments in life when simply showing up means everything. Hospice volunteers do just that – bringing comfort, companionship, and kindness to patients and families in their final chapter. If you’re looking for a way to share your time and compassion with others, our volunteer program is a great place to start. To learn more, please visit us at: https://birdeye.cx/zv10tk

Hospice is all about helping patients and families make the most of every moment. When our nurse learned that her patient had also been a nurse with a distinguished career spanning five decades, she organized a living tribute to her patient. Read their story now:

Gentiva Hospice of Kinston celebrated 4th of July week with G.I. Joe's Military Living History Museum. This week, we take the time to honor and recognize the people who swore an oath to protect and serve our great nation. We give our thanks to all our military and veterans for defending our flag, the red, white, and blue. Freedom that many love, but it is not free, because of the cost and sacrifice our soldiers give willingly. Thank you for defending this great land, and we hope everyone has an amazing 4th of July week and weekend.

Gentiva Hospice of Kinston volunteers had a blast today as they went around the Kinston Community handing out walking taco bags. The volunteers prepared the meals that morning and were out and about throughout the afternoon, listening, supporting, and befriending the beautiful Kinston community. We are proud to serve all and continue to be an agency that serves everyone in our community.

Gentiva Hospice of Kinston was grateful to attend and participate with G.I Joe's in honoring Women Veterans on June 12th. Women's Veterans Day is a time to recognize, listen, and support this special group that has given so much of themselves to our country and our community. We were so awed by their presence. They have given so much to so many, yet here they stand, asking to serve, asking to help, asking how to volunteer more. This was such a time for reflection for our Kinston Team. We ask ourselves, how can we help our community more? How could we reach more of those in need? We will always be an agency that looks to give back and serve our community.
