“Families and patients are allowing us to be a part of their life at the lowest point.” – Susan Flanagan, Transitions Specialist

“Treat someone like I want them to treat me if that was my family member.” – Mesa Curney, RN, CWOCN

“I feel valued and respected in the home.” – Lynn Adams, RN

“The patients are looking forward to having someone stop by to check on them, to see how they’re doing.” – Latinya Jackson, RN

“Part of hospice is taking care of the patient while they’re here, but also the family after the patient’s gone.” – Lanise Shortell, RN CHPPN, CPLC, Pediatric Hospice Nurse

“Coming from nursing school to home health gives you the ability to exemplify what you became a nurse for, which is to help people.” – Glenda Dunn, RN

  • Being able to have mother come here is a godsend for us. With both of us working, there is no way we could care for her at home and we were not happy with the nursing facilities we looked at before choosing Hospice Atlanta.

    - Hospice Patient's Son

  • Visiting Nurse offers a great deal of relief to the family. I would encourage anyone to give deep consideration to donate money to this organization

    - Bill

  • Our attitude about hospice changed too. Originally we saw it as a way to ease the transition to her death, but it became all about helping her live and thrive.

    - Jerry

  • I have learned the most important part of any medical services is the people providing it, and I have complete and absolute confidence in Visiting Nurse. I wanted no one other than Visiting Nurse delivering my home health care services.

    - Charles

  • Both my husband and I have witnessed our health care system and the difficulty maneuvering through it as a result of a very long journey being hospitalized. We are so aware of its shortcomings and the uncertainty. But if it is of any consolation we are forever thankful to Visiting Nurse for all the services you provided for us

    - Jeannie

  • Although it has been almost two months since my mother’s death, I felt the need to express my heartfelt thanks and admiration for your mission, your organization and, especially, your personnel.

    - Paul

Letters of Appreciation

We want to thank everyone at Visiting Nurse Health system who participated in the care of our father. We also appreciate all the services provided by Hospice Atlanta during our father’s final days at home where he passed on peacefully as he had wished. Sincerely,

 

Aita, Andy and Frank P.

My grandmother was put on hospice 5 days ago. The teams that we have met have been excellent. They were very up front with us about my grandmother’s symptoms and what would come next. The nurse contacted me several times throughout the week to check in on us. The aide was very sweet and came every day to help up bathe and keep my grandmother comfortable. When we needed supplies, they were here that day (or night). This is an excellent company and I would recommend them to everyone who needs home hospice care!

Patient Stories

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Visiting Nurse Health System for the wonderful care, compassion and dedication my family has received in help caring for my mother.

Five years ago I was in an impossible situation. With three young children of my own, I was faced with caring for my mother who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and helping my 82-year-old father transition into this life-changing situation. Just trying to understand what was happening and how I was going to manage this was beyond overwhelming. Dealing with the grief of losing my mom to this disease made it even more stressful.

Fortunately, a very good friend recommended Visiting Nurse’s Long-Term Care at Home program. Visiting Nurse provided insight, knowledge, compassion, and an amazing team who provide my mom with excellent care. Thanks to the team, my parents are still in their home, and are doing well. Quite frankly, I wouldn’t have been able to manage all of this without their help – they all are indeed a blessing, and I am so very grateful.

Thank you again for help making a stressful and life-changing situation manageable for our family.

Sincerely,

Jennie J.

We`ve had a great day honoring our Veteran hospice patients for their courage, service, and connection. Our Veteran Volunteer retired Navy Captain Alan, traveled around to our patients’ homes today, honoring their service with a We Honor Veterans pinning event. A few of our patients honored today are shown here: Duane, an Air Force pilot, and later a commercial pilot, with a flawless 30-year flying record, and Edward “Ted,” a Navy veteran and centenarian honored at age 102.
Alan, our Volunteer and a retired Navy Captain who served aboard the USS Long Beach during the Vietnam War, has spent over 15 years giving back to fellow veterans through visits and veteran pinning ceremonies. Through these events, Alan brings honor, understanding, recognition, and the unique bond that only a fellow service member can share.

October is Physical Therapy Month, and our Home Health leader Jacqueline Ralph Blair brought the team together for a fun evening of bowling to celebrate the incredible work they bring into homes every day. This celebration was a small way to say thank you for the big impact they make in people’s lives.

In these times, connection and appreciation mean more than ever — and it was wonderful to spend time together as a team. 💙
