What is Hospice?

Hospice is a specialized service that focuses on the quality of life for people and their caregivers, who are experiencing an advanced illness. Our goal is to provide quality of life by managing symptoms and providing emotional support. We maximize the time that patients can spend at home and with their loved ones.

Along with offering palliative care for physical symptoms, we also provide family and caregiver support, including spiritual guidance and bereavement assistance.

While we make sure you can spend as much time as possible with your loved ones, our volunteers also make sure that they have companionship and activities when you cannot be there.

Thank you Golden Rule for being an outstanding hospice care service! When my hubby was diagnosed with a debilitating terminal illness, we secured the name of the hospice care (Golden Rule) that my friend used for her mother. She was very pleased with them, as are we. Our GR hospice team consists of Nurse Cheryl, CNA Andre, Chaplain Stanley, and Social Worker Heather. Nurse Cheryl does a thorough weekly assessment of hubby's condition, orders equipment and prescriptions and always follows up to be sure they have been delivered. She returns our calls promptly. Above all, she is very loving and caring. My husband calls Andre the gentle giant! Andre helps with shower care and my husband is very comfortable with him. Andre works closely with Cheryl and is extremely knowledgeable. We are so thankful this amazing man is on our team. Chaplain Stanley's soft demeanor and interesting stories puts my husband at ease and puts a smile on his face. We both enjoy when he brings his guitar and sings for us. SW Heather continues to be a great wealth of information for us and just a phone call away. We are very thankful for Golden Rule Hospice care during this difficult time in our lives.

Kathy Hazellief is truly wonderful with our hospice residents at Dahlonega Assisted Living and Memory Care. Every time she comes in you can see how much she genuinely cares — she takes her time, speaks gently, and makes sure our residents feel comfortable, calm, and respected. She’s also very supportive to families and staff, explaining things in a way everyone understands and never making anyone feel rushed. Honestly she’s our favorite and does the best by far. We are so thankful for the compassion and kindness she shows because she really makes a hard time a little easier for our residents, their families, and our team.

Shamille and Vivian have been so wonderful to my dad Robert Butler. They are kind, caring and respectful of my dad. They have also been very kind to me and my sisters as we go thru this end of life journey for my dadObviously Golden Rule Hospice is an excellent hospice based on these two women.

My father was taken care of 3 years ago by Golden Rule and he changed his mind and "graduated". He just turned 97 and after celebrating, he declined rapidly. Fortunately, I knew who to call. Golden Rule was fabulous then and fabulous now. I requested the same nurse, Shamille, and she is as loving and attentive as she was previously. I thoroughly trust her and she always responds to my calls and questions. By the time hospice came on the scene my father was bedridden. The CNA, Vivian, came to bathe him and watching her with him made me cry. She knew exactly how to maneuver him and she made sure his bedding was clean as well. She shaved him and brushed his teeth. He was so happy and said "I feel so good now." She is exquisite in her care. He is in his very last days and she came by just to make sure he was ok and that I was ok. Everyone there I have interacted with (both times) is caring, professional and bring light into what could be a dark time. Elizabeth, the social worker, checks on us regularly and makes sure all the paperwork is in order. Thank you Golden Rule.

My experience with Golden Rule has been outstanding. Every staff member has been professional, knowledgeable, friendly and a joy to work with. The one I value the most is Vivian the CNA. My husband and I love her like family. She takes such good care of him and he always express how much better he feels when she leaves. Take God for her. Also I would like to mention Tyrell the nurse and Elizabeth the social worker. Their work is excellent and very commendable.Your company is one of the best health care companies I have had the pleasure of working with. Thank you so much and may Od Bless you all.Constance Rodgers Faison MSNNursing Professor

My mom has been under the care of Golden Rule for a year, and she has just thrived! She was somewhat depressed when we first started, but now is really enjoying life again.. my mom will be 100 years old in December. Chris Hill is an outstanding nurse with Golden Rule, I attribute mom’s well being mostly to him. He is genuinely kind and caring! Kathy also does a great job with mom, she won’t let anyone else give her showers .Stanley does an excellent job of spiritual support.Thank you Golfen Rule!

Golden Rule Hospice has provided excellent care for my loved one for about a month now. We have been assigned a lovely Nurse named Opal who has been so sweet, loving, and attentive. We've also had a few visits from the nurse's lovely aide, Edna for showers for my LO. She has also been so wonderful, loving, and kind. They both really know what they are doing and we appreciate them so much. We briefly met the hospice social worker, Elizabeth, and she seems great too.
