My amazing wife, Sarah was in hospice care within the comfort of our home.
Our initial thoughts on Sarah being referred to hospice care was very scary only
because we knew that she had reached the end of her treatment options with
little knowledge of how hospice worked very quickly, where our minds changed.
Jennifer, her nurse instantly became like family wholeheartedly.
I didn't like the word hospice. In my mind, hospice was a horrible place,
but boy was I wrong. After meeting with the hospice team at Henry Ford Hospital,
I realized that it was the best place for my husband Nelson.
One of the aspects I like most about Henry Ford Hospice is the opportunity to
perform home visits with our patients and their families.
There is nothing like meeting with the patient and their family in their own
environment and gaining a real sense for their day-to-day lives and the things
that are most important to them.
Having a service such as hospice makes all the difference for your loved ones,
as well as for a family. Losing someone is never easy,
but these services made coping with the matter uncomplicated and manageable.
To help provide.
And support the patients with children in the family,
Henry Ford Hospice developed sandcastles grief support program.
Sandcastles had been providing grieving children, teens,
and families,
a safe place to come together with peers to share and process their grief with
others who understand. Supportive services, have no fees.
And we work hard to raise our donations,
to continue to provide the excellent level of bereavement care for which we are
known for. Together,
Henry Ford Hospital supports our patients,
their families through life's most challenging times to provide peace, comfort,
and a safe space, surrounded by people who care.
If Sarah needed a medication changed refilled or even just a good
heart-to-heart talk with a fellow female. Jennifer was at sitter's disposal.
On top of our home health aid,
even the after hours staff was exponential all the way down to sending a nurse
out in the middle of the night, which we had to use on several occasions.
With such a heavy and daunting realization that one is nearing the end of their
life.
Henry Ford hospice helped Sarah and our whole family with the transition,
making her feel at ease and that she was never alone in her journey. From the.
Initial discussion nurse,
Virginia was very understanding and thorough with explaining hospice to me.
What I'm most appreciative of is that when she was providing me the information
I broke down, because it's difficult talking about hospice.
When your mom is the subject of the conversation. Nurse Virginia
allowed me the time to cry. She didn't try to rush the sharing.
She was just present even during the intake,
another nurse enter the office along with the minister and they all showed
nothing but kindness towards me. The entire hospice team treated my mom,
like the lady she was, and I will never forget that.
