My best friend Nancy was under your care for her last days while residing at The Laurels. Nancy's family spoke so highly of your compassion and attention to everyone. Keep up your good work-it means so much to families and friends who are losing a loved one.

I'm writing to thank all the staff at Hospice & Palliative Care Charlotte Region for all the help and support you provided for me and my father, Anthony. I do not think I could have survived this without the help of your organization. Our nurse, Camille, was a saint. She stayed in constant touch with me and was at Pop's bedside daily. She anticipated his every medical need. She made sure he had the correct combination of medications to prevent any suffering. She explained everything to me and she really tried to help me grasp the concepts of end of life care.

During Pop's second week, he took a drastic turn toward end of life care. Sitting at Pop's bedside, another saint walked in. This time it was Jeanne. We talked about Pop's condition, how we was reared devoutly Catholic and how he converted to Presbyterian when he married my mom. Jeanne, so insightful, told me she thought Pop was waiting for Catholic "Last Rites" and asked me if she could call her priest to come and see Pop. Father Anthony was at Pop's bedside in record time, within 45 minutes of Jeanne's call!! I was amazed. Pop received the sacrament for the sick and he seemed to respond when Father Anthony and I prayed together at his bedside. It was such a comfort to Pop and me. It was something I never would have thought of had it not been for Jeanne.

This has been my first, personal experience with Hospice. I have told everyone on the planet how wonderful you are. I truly could not have endured Pop's last days had it not been for all of you. I can take comfort in the fact that although he did not survive this ordeal, he did not suffer!! Thank you all for your good help, all your compassion and expertise.

This letter is to express to you our appreciation for the support received by your Hospice staff. My mom, Marion, died at The Cove at Wilora Lake and your caring, supportive employees were there when we needed them.

Mom's sickness seemed to worsen so quickly and it was so difficult to understand all that was happening physically to her. By having Hospice there to explain things, to pray with us, and to make sure Mom was comfortable was such a blessing and comfort to our family.

Thank you for your care and concern for Polly. Getting her hospice care was the best we could do for her. I just wish we had done it sooner. She was still taking radiation three weeks before she died so we weren't quite prepared. I will always be grateful and would have no hesitation recommending Hospice & Palliative Care Charlotte Region. Breast cancer is a terrible disease. Hopefully, one day they will find a cure.

Dear Beth,

Words can't begin to express how much you meant to Lawrence, me and our family during your three weeks as our Hospice angel. You assignment was pre-arranged by our gracious God who was me and Lawrence only the best during this difficult time.

It was so hard contacting Hospice & Palliative Care Charlotte Region. Somehow we were admitting that the end might be near and we were not quitters. I don't know how many hospice nurses work the Lake Norman area, but I don know that you were chosen for our journey. Thank you for yielding to God's calling and for helping those of us at a time when circumstances leave us breathless and so vulnerable. You knew how to handle every difficult moment along the way.

Thanks for EVERYTHING!

The people who work for Hospice & Palliative Care Charlotte Region are truly the most unique and and caring individuals I've ever met.  Over the last two years, I've had the opportunity to get to know some of the finest people in the world as a result of the help you provided for my folks.  My parents were both beneficiaries of some of the most caring people--both professionally skilled and volunteers--that anyone could ever hope to know.

The loving and gentle care Karen received at the Levine & Dickson Hospice House was such a gift to her and her family.  It was a privilege for us to meet her wonderful nurses, doctors and caregivers when we were with her and her family during the end of her life.
