My wife has been receiving care from Golden Rule in Dawsonville for over a month now and they have been extraordinary. A big shout out especially to Penny, her primary nurse, who has gone above and beyond to help her adjust to memory care facility living. From expert help with medications to personal care, Golden Rule has exceeded my expectations. Due largely to their guidance, my wife is adapting positively to her new environment, which has taken an enormous weight off my shoulders as we've transitioned to this new phase of our life.

I have used Golden Rule Hospice to provide hospice care for both of my parents. The staff that was provided did an excellent job of caring for both my mom and dad. They exhibited caring, compassionate, professional skills throughout their time with my parents. Communication was clear and consistent, and the extended staff was very supportive of me and my family. I recommend them to anyone who has a family member in need of hospice care.

Diana J.

Golden Rule Hospice is excellent in every way possible. Everyone there is kind, understanding, caring, ever helpful and truly awesome. Everyone I dealt with, either by phone or in person, they were wonderful. To my mother, they gave her the kind of care that I felt they would have given to their own mothers. They helped me through the most difficult of times, going out of their way to take good care of Mom in every situation, which was such a welcome blessing. They were so good in helping me to give Mom assistance, too, offering good advice to better lift and tend to her needs in the best way possible. I will be forever grateful for the kind assistance of everyone who helped Mom. I would also like to personally thank Stephanie, Sunday, Mallory, Roslyn, Stanley, Whitney, Marissa Blake, from Reskins, who pitched right in to help Mom the one time that she visited, Cathy, and the dear young woman whose name unfortunately escapes me (you were such a help and a joy; my sincere apologies!), who was a wound care specialist for Mom, and a special thanks to dear Cheryl. You are all angels on this earth and made such a difference to my darling mother and myself. God bless you all!

We have been under the care of Golden Rule Hospice for about 10 months for the care of my father who is in Memory Care. The entire staff at Golden Rule has blown us away. They are caring, compassionate and incredibly knowledgeable on this journey we have been thrown into. They are not just going thru the motions, they really care about Dad and we feel they treat him as if he were their own family member. Chris, the hospice nurse is energetic and quick to be proactive with decisions that need to be made on behalf of Dads care. His medical knowledge about dementia and Alzheimer’s is vast. He has guided us thru some tough situations. He obviously has a heart for each of his patients. I have seen him interact with other patients and you can see the love and care pour thru him. Andre our hospice CNA comes in twice a week to bathe, shower, and shave Dad and also gives him loving care. Stanley is the Chaplain and he too is the most loving and kind hearted soul who truly loves serving these wonderful patients. I cannot imagine getting through this without the support of Golden Rule Hospice

Renea M.

My mom has been under the care of Golden Rule for almost 9 mos. She has received great care, but the care from Ms. Vivian has been top-notch, 10 stars if I could. My mom, Ira, loves Ms. Vivian, and Ms. Vivian cares for her as if she were her own mom. Ms. Vivian is passionate, loving, caring, and compassionate. She makes my mom feel special, as if she were her only patient. I give Golden Rule 5 stars because of Ms. Vivian. Ms. Vivian is a true gem.

Stephen M.

My wife recently spent more than 6 weeks in the care of Golden Rule Hospice before passing away on August 10th. I can't say enough about the care and professionalism shown by everyone we came in contact with at Golden Rule. In particular, Vivian and Tyrell were terrific. They not only took great care of Evelyne, but were able to build a trusting relationship with her. Also, a shout out to Mini who filled in at times and was wonderful, too. Thank you all for taking such loving care of my wife in her final days.

Laura T.

I want to say Kathy hazellief is a outstanding CNA she is always on time and always making sure her patients are taking care of we love her at the facility. She is the best we have ever had this lady needs a raise . She is an amazing and excellent person. She is a five star CNA

Kimble G.

My experience with all of these lovely and caring people was beyond exceptional! Our nurse Penny, Minnie, Chaplain Joe, and so many others showed so much compassion as my precious mom was given such excellent care. I never had to worry about someone answering my calls in minutes to medicine getting delivered in record time. I will always have these people as friends and will always carry them in my heart. Excellent service with excellent compassion for their families!

When our family decided to put our mother on hospice , it was a hard decision to make . The first day Trayonna Latin C.N.A. came into our home , My mother felt comfortable with her . When Trayonna was on vacation, our mother wasn’t the same until she returned, Trayonna have a warm calm spirit , she treats her as if she is caring for her grandmother. Thank you for all do!!!

Janice E.

I want to thank the Golden Rule Hospice for everything they did for my dad. I have never encountered such kind and wonderful group of people. Especially Chris. He was always attentive, compassionate, and his willingness to respond at any moment in taking care of my dad. You could not have asked for better. He even checked in on my mom after my dad died to see how she was doing. Stanley always brought such joy, peace, and comfort to both my parents when he came by to check on them. He would pray and sing and they would just smile with happiness. Andre would take such good care of my dad in his cleaning and making sure he had his supplies. I really liked how the Golden Rule Hospice care checked in weekly to see that everything was going well. Just can’t say enough about this group and what they meant to our family. So thankful GOD lead us to them.

David R.

We were given Golden Rule Hospice as a useful resource to help with our elderly parents. At first I was hesitant because of the stigma attached to hospice. But once the staff came to our house to talk to us about hospice and how they help it made it easier. When Whitney came to the house to set everything up she was the nicest and most helpful person and was always there for help and support. The nurses that helped our parents were so very compassionate, Penny was amazing and caring to both my mom and dad. She was very supportive and explained everything to us when we had questions. Andre who assisted in showering and shaving our dad was an awesome man that cared about how my dad looked and felt. I can’t say enough positive and positive things about using Golden Rule they became family and are an amazing support for our family in the most difficult time of our lives. I would highly recommend to use them. Great an amazing staff!!!

Sabrina H.

Vivian has been a true blessing to our family. She is incredibly attentive, consistently goes above and beyond, and has genuinely become like family to us. Her kindness and sincerity shine through in everything she does you can feel that her motivation comes from a deep love for people, both patients and their families. If I could give her 1,000 stars, I absolutely would!Golden Rule Hospice truly lives up to its name treating others the way you'd want to be treated. The entire team has been wonderful, and I want to also recognize Shamille and Elizabeth for their compassion and dedication. I highly recommend Golden Rule Hospice to anyone seeking compassionate care, unwavering support, and peace of mind during such a difficult time. They have truly made a meaningful difference in our lives.

Golden Rule has the greatest group of people that I have ever encountered. They took care of my partner till he passed. They took excellent, loving, compassionate care of him. He could not have had a more caring group. Dawn, Stephanie, Stanley, Sunday & Whitney were not only a comfort to him but also his family & myself. If you find the need for this care I would recommend them 100%. Love & prayers to all of them.

UPDATE:Golden Rule Hospice provided exceptional care for my father, during his time on hospice. Their team went above and beyond to ensure his comfort and dignity until his peaceful transition.I want to especially highlight Nurse Reggie and Ms. Vivian for their compassionate and professional care. Nurse Reggie was always attentive and thorough, offering guidance and support every step of the way. Ms. Vivian brought such warmth and kindness, making my family feel like we were never alone during such a difficult time.The ENTIRE staff (Ms. Elizabeth, Mr. David, Ms. Diana, Mr. Quay, Ms. Regina) showed such dedication and respect, and I’m forever grateful for the love and care they extended to my dad and our family. If you are considering hospice care for your loved one, I wholeheartedly recommend Golden Rule Hospice.If you're not looking for top-notch, compassionate service, then you might want to avoid Golden Rule Hospice, because Mr. Quay Bell is the definiton of excellence. As the intake coordinator, Quay went above and beyond when helping my family get our 92 year old dad signed up for home hospice. From his thorough explanations to his endless patience and genuine kindness, Quay made an emotionally difficult process so much easier to handle. He was always available to answer questions and made sure we felt supported every step of the way. So, if you don't want excellent customer service and true care for your loved ones, you'll be disappointed here. Quay and the team and Golden rule Hospice are the gold standard! 10/10 highly recommend.

Ronald S.

I really appreciated the care that Shamille Relf and Minnie Baker provided for my Uncle John. They were very kind and caring. They went above and beyond. All of the nurses were nice but they stood out from the rest.

Loring F.

I can’t express how wonderful the people are at Golden Rule. My husband’s final days and weeks were the worst time of my life. But because of the loving, Christian care he (and I) received, it was full of love and kindness and every kind of help imaginable. I felt completely surrounded with Christian love and support and I know my husband did too. If you find yourself struggling with a seriously ill loved one and do not want to consider a facility but rather, care for them at home, do not call anyone but Golden Rule. You won’t regret it. I’ll forever be grateful to them.

What a wonderful organization. The team took care of my father for many months in his last days and did a great job. His caregivers, Chris and Sunday, made it so easy for us and for the comfort of my Dad.Then, about 6 months later, they did the same thing for my mother, caring for her with compassion. The visits and calls and texts by the other team members we're very supportive.

The team at Golden Rule were very caring and kind to my father. They were also extremely accommodating and listened with empathy to all of the requests we made. They communicated easily and readily with us and showed up over and beyond the required number of visits if additional help was needed. I would definitely refer others to Golden Rule and would use them again in future.Shamille, Liz, Minnie, Vivian, Barbara, Reggie, and the whole team did excellent work in a very difficult job.

Honestly…. There aren’t enough words😭 My heart is so full! My mother in law had a very short battle with pancreatic cancer. She was diagnosed July 18th and passed September 7th! When i realized that treatment would’ve done more harm than good we decided that hospice care at home would be the best decision for her. Tim, Nicole, Shamika, Dionne, Trayonna, & Alexander there aren’t enough words for you guys!!!!!!!!! If i could give you the world I would because YOU guys deserve everything amazing God has reserved for you! We love you IMMENSELY!!!!!! God Bless you ALL always.!!!!

Golden Rule was the right choice for my mother's home hospice care. From intake through to her passing, the team was very compassionate, knowledgeable, extremely patient, and understanding. Minnie, the nursing aide and Shamille, my mom's nurse, were exceptional and went above and beyond in caring for my mom. They ensured her comfort, cleanliness, peace, and dignity in her final days, and treated our family as an extension of their own. This was an extremely difficult time for me trying to balance being a daughter wanting to make the most of the final time spent with her mom, making the right choices to ensure great care, and handling everyday life responsibilities. Inasmuch as one can be prepared for the inevitable and handling death as a natural part of life, I felt that Golden Rule did their very best to try to support us and to ease the anguish, uncertainties, and ambivalence felt during such a challenging time. I would recommend Golden Rule to others who want home hospice care to feel personal and the humanity of their loved one to be recognized and valued.

There are simply not enough words to express how wonderful Golden Rule Hospice was during my Mother’s illness. From the very start, when meeting our intake consultant, Keith Ashley, the compassion and warmth exuded was so timely and welcomed. At every stage of the experience there was courtesy, patience, thoughtfulness and proactivity. It made a very difficult life event so much more manageable having this remarkable team involve. THANK YOU KEITH, WHITNEY, MALLORY, EBONY, LISA GLYNN (incredible leadership), and the outstanding comfort care team. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Golden Rule Hospice went above and beyond taking care of my 93 year old aunt. From the very beginning when her nurse, Penny, walked into her room I knew I had selected the right hospice company for my aunt. Penny was so compassionate and caring when she came to check on my aunt several times a week. If anything came up, I could call and she would take care of it immediately. I know Penny was there for my aunt but she was also there for me. She would send me texts with encouraging words or scripture or just sometimes just to check on me.Another person that played a key roll in my aunts comfort was her CNA, Ebony. The first day I met her, I once again knew that I had chosen the right hospice company. She was so sweet and kind to my aunt and treated her with the upmost respect. She was a beautiful person inside and out. She came three times a week to help my aunt with her ADL's and my aunt always looked forward to her visits.I am so grateful for these two amazing women along with Stanley, her Chaplin. The entire team is wonderful and was a blessing to me with all of their support and guidance. I would highly recommend Golden Rule and feel so very fortunate that I found them.

Vivian R. Is a treasure. The kindness and care she showed my mother, Ellie Pope, brought comfort to our entire family. She showered mom with beautiful jewelry and always ensured that Mom was well dressed and well accessorized! She was incredibly helpful and very specific about things I could do to help my mom. V Vivian worked so well with our other caregiver and we truly miss her. Unfortunately mom was dismissed from Golden Rule Hospice due to Medicare qualification issues. Thankfully, she still works here at Montclair and is able to visit with mom. As Mom said, I really like her.

Golden Rule Hospice is an amazing group of people. They cared, not only for my 95 year old Father, but our whole family. The entire team is wonderful and I cannot say enough good things about them but I need to give a special shout out to a few people. Ebony, who saw my Dad 3 days a week brought such joy, smiles, laughter and light during difficult days. We all looked forward to her visits and she shared her love with all of us. Harlee, his nurse, has such a kind and loving spirit. Her ability to effectively communicate and take the time to discuss options and the best path for Dad was a blessing. Stanley, the Chaplin who saw my Dad, made such a positive impact on our family, he officiated my Dad’s memorial service. They provided support, comfort, a shoulder to cry on and guidance as we navigated saying goodbye to the best man I have ever known. Their support did not end with my Dad’s passing. Weeks later they still call and text to check in to see how we are holding up. There are so many more people behind the scenes that we did not see regularly but whose support and guidance was invaluable. I have never encountered a business who employs such an extraordinary group of people. We were so very lucky to have found them.

Lisa was the absolute best during such a tragic time. She went above and beyond to make sure my stepmom was comfortable and taken care of. She is caring, loving, knowledgeable and the gem we needed. Thank you Lisa for everything you did for my family.

Golden Rule Hospice has been such a blessing to my family. I will be eternally grateful to Vivian Robinson for the exceptional care she has given my 95 year old father and my 93 year old mother. Vivian is a skilled professional who is warm, caring , nurturing and compassionate but most importantly, my parents love her.

Golden Rule is AMAZING! From the first phone call to Bobbi Love, we knew Golden Rule was the right choice for our Mama. Little did we know how awesome Penny Crews and her team would be. What a blessing! Penny became our family. She was so sweet to Mama and would sit and hold Mama’s hand and discuss anything Mama was feeling - from medicines to fears and everything in between. Charlotte was so precious giving Mama her bath and fixing her hair- Mamas favorite thing. Mama loved singing hymns with Regina. Sunday would be our nurse on the weekends and after hours- and what a treasure he was. Mama was in Penny’s (Golden Rule) care for about 6 months until she passed away. Penny came to her visitation. There are no words to describe how much Golden Rule, Penny Crews and her team meant (and still mean) to us and what a positive affect they had on the end of my Precious Mama’s life and on our family. Thank you SOOO MUCH!

We had a wonderful experience with Golden Rule Hospice. I can't say enough wonderful things about our nurse, Meghan Moore. She was extremely attentive, caring, and responsive during our time with Golden Rule. She made sure our transition off of hospice was incredibly smooth as well, along with the office staff. She is a true gem and I highly recommend GR.

Golden Rule Hospice was by our side during the most difficult time near my fathers end of life. I live out of town and they kept me constantly updated about his condition and made sure I made it to see him before his transition. Vivian Robinson was compassionate and caring when my family needed it the most. The professional and caring staff at Golden Rule are angels on earth.

Thank You! It's hard to put into words the care that Nurse Vivian R. and the members of the hospice team provide each and every day. The professional care, service and human side of Vivian's R. work was demonstrated on multiple levels. It is without a doubt that the latter months of care for JG was more than one could have expected. I am thankful for your work as well as the staff that provides care daily to their patients and the family members - Thank You.

We used Golden Rule Hospice for over a year while my Mom met the eligibility requirements for hospice care…… i can truly say Golden Rule is a phenomenal organization with tremendous caregivers. The entire hospice team assigned to our Mom, in particular her primary care nurse, Penny, were extremely competent professionals and very compassionate in their approach to caring for her. Penny provided us with an update on Mom after every visit and she became like a family member to us. I highly recommend Golden Rule Hospice and have absolutely no reservations in doing so.

Vivian R, CNA, has been providing valuable care for my wife for over 6 months and is an great example of service and dedication to the patient. My wife is in the later stage of dementia and cannot communicate. Vivian works well with the independent caregivers to coordinate to provide a high level of care. She has a very pleasant personality and keeps me informed following each visit.Vivian and Chris the Golden Rule nurse work well as a team and exceed my expectations when i was deciding on a hospice company. Golden Rule is a great choice and everyone on their team has been exemplary.
