What Hospice Is

What Hospice Is

Hospice is a specialized care that focuses on the quality of life, for a person dealing with an incurable disease or diagnoses, that have brought about a decline. Hospice care provides compassionate care for people, their family and extended loved ones.

Hospice care focuses on the totality of the person’s physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs. Our focus is on the symptoms related to the decline, rather than the disease state. Hospice care is family-centered and our goal is to not take the place of the family but to add additional support to the family.

What Golden Rule Offers

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.
Vivian (our CNA) has been very amazing! She takes good care of my dad & helps us any way she can making it easier on my family. We’re so grateful for her as a family. Dianna (our weekend RN) has been very wonderful and very helpful too, helps us any way she can and answers all questions. Thank you golden rule hospice!
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.
