Patient/Family Testimonials
"For seven days, our worn, bewildered, and emotional family was enveloped in the kind of care that we still find hard to describe. Hospice anticipated our needs and allowed our loved one to 'cross over' with the calm, dignity, and respect that she so deserved." — Lucy Suddreth, daughter of a hospice patient
"These unsung heroes are dedicated to the patient and the family, providing psychological and spiritual support, relief from suffering, and a pathway for continuing to function after a loss..." — Lucy Suddreth, daughter of a hospice patient
“Your staff did much more than care for [my wife’s] physical needs but also helped with her emotional and spiritual needs…how secure this makes me feel knowing that, when needed, Caldwell Hospice will be there.” — Hospice family member
"I told a lot of people that you did wonders for me." — Mrs. Irene Flannagan, palliative care patient
“Hospice gave us the ability to enjoy every last second we had with Nathan, outside the hospital setting. It let us be together and be a family. He lived on his own time, and Hospice gave him the ability to die on his own time; he was making the calls. Nathan was just 13, but he was in charge..." — Bridgette Plunk, mother of a hospice patient
"...Our volunteer offered to do anything, but mostly he visited and listened. In times of sickness and stress, having someone who will listen can be a priceless gift.” — Susan Mikeal, Cathy Waters, and Nancy Woods, daughters of hospice patients
"During the eight weeks that Wayne was in the patient care unit, the Hospice staff became family. They provided outstanding medical care for Wayne and took care of our family, offering emotional support to each of us... I always say Hospice is a blessing for the whole family.” — Gwen Teague, wife of a hospice patient
"...The Hospice staff was with our mother almost constantly for the last two or three days of her life. Hospice ministered to my sisters and me, as well as to our mother. I will always be appreciative of the loving care and attention given to our parents.” — Bill Kincaid, son of a hospice patient
"...After Nathan’s death, thanks to support from Hospice, I am here, and I’m learning to live again.” — Bridgette Plunk, mother of a hospice patient
