When you document your healthcare wishes, you give a profound gift to your family. An advance directive simply ensures your personal values guide your medical care, even if you cannot speak for yourself. This National Healthcare Decisions Day, we encourage you to take one simple step toward documenting your healthcare wishes. You don't need a lawyer to create an advance directive – just a little time to reflect on what matters most to you and your loved ones. To learn more, please visit: https://birdeye.cx/b9k14p

Fred and Mystel Shiney Jr. of Arcadia celebrated their 72nd wedding anniversary on March 16th with a dozen red roses and a lifetime of memories. Tracey Toms, an RN who joined Gentiva Hospice during the COVID pandemic, saw the anniversary announcement on Fred’s door at Journey Senior Services. In the true spirit of Gentiva’s mission of “making the most of every moment”, Tracey orchestrated the celebration, bought the dozen red roses and arranged all the details. Fred’s eyes were locked on Mystel, and tears fell down his cheeks as Mystel recounted the ups and downs of their life together. What a special moment. Kudos to Tracey for capturing this special moment of Fred and Mystel’s lives together. Congratulations, Fred and Mystel!

Death is hard enough, but death with pain is a constant debilitating struggle. Anyone nearing the end of life, struggling with severe pain, does not want to hold on and wait it out. They do not want to feel this way until they take their last breath. If given the opportunity to ask them what they want or need and have a voice, listen to them and respect their wishes.

The only consistencies we should have when caring for someone at the end of life is that it should always be done with kindness, compassion, respect, and honesty. You get those consistencies with Gentiva. We have a team of experts who work with you, not just for you. Call us today at 712-792-2191.
