Halcyon Hospice – Philadelphia, Miss.
The end-of-life journey is never easy – for the patients, for
their families and loved ones or for our teams. We all rally together to not
only take care of our patients, but to also hold each other up. That is what we
do.
Halcyon Hospice in Philadelphia, Miss., recently had the opportunity
to care for the father of one of our fellow home health branch managers, and
she wrote a quick note to tell them how much their efforts were appreciated.
Randi Shafer, RN, and Dena Smith, RN, have been very sweet
and helpful to the patient and family. Dena calls the two daughters (both of
whom are nurses) daily and updates them on their father. The patient’s
wife said that Balencigia McClendon, CAN, and Tomecia Hammock, CNA, are
absolutely wonderful and very gentle and kind to her husband. They are all
so pleased with the care their father/spouse has received from the Philadelphia
team and wanted them all to know how much they appreciated the help during this
journey.
Thanks to Randi, Dena, Balencigia and Tomecia for truly
caring for your patients and their families. Your compassion and excellent care
is apparent and brings peace and comfort. You are all our Hospice Heroes!
