Solace Hospice

Spreading the joy of Christmas! Yesterday Solace Hospice staff took our parade float on tour! We took Frosty the Snowman and the Yeti with us to visit the resi...dents in a few of the facilities in our area. We understand what a difficult time this is and has been and we wanted to show our love and bring some much needed Christmas Cheer! So, with masks and proper social distancing we helped bring a smile to many faces. Thank you to the administrators and staff at Glenvue Nursing Home in Glennville, The Griffin House, The Journey and Northspring Senior Living in Claxton. What a blessing it was to us to bring smiles! Merry Christmas! See more

Is this the right time for hospice care? We can help.

There’s No Place Like Home For The Holidays! Hospice Care can help you keep your loved one at home during the holidays. Surrounded by family and friends, celebrating the season, sharing meals and memories home is where the heart is. Many times, people put off making the decision about getting hospice care until after the holidays, when instead they should do just the opposite. Hospice care can help your loved one stay at home in the center of family activities while mana...ging their pain and symptoms for improved quality of life. Additionally, early admission to hospice care is the key to realizing more of the benefits that this type of care provides the patient and family. Care that helps keep your loved one at home Hospice care is provided wherever someone calls home. The goal of hospice care is to manage pain and symptoms to improve quality of life. It does not hasten death, and studies show it can even prolong life when patients are admitted early in the disease process. Having a care team to call on any time, day or night, can help prevent you from making stressful trips to the Emergency Room and keep your loved one comfortably at home. Care that relieves stress The holidays are stressful enough. Hospice care can help alleviate certain stressors by making sure your loved one is clean and comfortable. A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) helps with hygiene tasks like bathing to help keep your loved one feeling clean. Volunteers can provide companionship and respite, which can help reduce stress while you are busy with holiday preparations. Care that comforts Having an interdisciplinary care team (physician, nurse, CNA, social worker, chaplain, and volunteer) provides not only care for your loved one but is also a support system for the whole family. They can help you deal with emotional stress, while they provide clear information about your loved one’s care and prognosis. Chaplains can provide spiritual care at home, which patients who are home-bound will find comforting at this time of year. Care that is covered Hospice care, including hospice-related medications and supplies, is covered by Medicare.

There are many benefits to living in a small town. Vidalia GA does a wonderful job of loving its citizens. We were excited to participate in another awesome Christmas Parade.
