“It was the first time we did something for them,” he said. “We gave them a silver dove, which is the logo of our organization, for their years of service.”

Kimberly Martin, A licensed practical nurse, and Mike Baker, a registered nurse, are caregivers at Blue Ridge Hospice.

Hospice aims to make last days easier for patients, families

By Melissa Topey The Northern Virginia Daily

Coffey admits he was scared to die when he first arrived at Blue Ridge Hospice.

ing up, staff said in addressing common misconceptions.

WINCHESTER - Kimberly Martin stood over Jack Coffey, looking down at the frail man in the bed.

“But it’s helped,” Coffey said weakly. Martin said when you walk onto the hospice care floor, it is no longer about you or the day you are having.

It is about living the best life possible before you die, said Jennifer Martin, chief Hospice care provides medical, emotional nursing officer-certified hospice and pal- and spiritual care to help provide comfort and the best quality of life possible. liative nurse.

“You are a different person when you are here. You are here for them. You have to have a gentle soul,” Martin said. “Bringing someone comfort during that time is everything.”

“It’s important to get into hospice early. If patients come in soon enough and we manage them with good care and their pain is managed, well they do live longer,” Jennifer Martin said.

Coffey is on the hospice floor in the inpatient care center of Blue Ridge Hospice Center, but hospice can be provided where ever the patient is - in their home, apartment or where ever they live.

Hospice is about helping patients and their families make that transition as easy as possible, she said, noting that the journey with the patient and their family is rewarding. It is intimate and it is powerful, Martin said.

She was looking at a rash on his arm.

Martin is a licensed practical nurse who has been with Blue Ridge Hospice in Winchester for about 18 months.

“My friend, I think you might be having an allergic reaction. Let me get Mike in here,” Martin said as she spoke in a low, slow, calming voice.

Mike is Mike Baker, a registered nurse.

“It’s more prominent,” she told Baker as he walked into the room and over to Coffey.

Hospice is not about dying. It is not giv-

“Hospice is a blessing to us. We walk away and what we receive in my heart I know is 10 times more,” she said.

When a patient at the inpatient care center dies, the staff members who are present, with a battery-operated tea light in hand, line the hallway in acknowledgment and respect of the moment, said Kristy Richardson-Ohlis, director of quality and education at Blue Ridge Hospice. “You know you helped get them there. We walk alongside them,” RichardsonOhlis said. Blue Ridge Hospice Center CEO

Constance Morrison said the staff at the facility love what they do. They love the “amazing families” they work with.

“I can’t stop you from dying, but I can make your dying better,” Morrison said.

Blue Ridge Hospice has certified pet therapists who bring animals to visit. Patients can also have their pets brought in to visit.

Blue Ridge Hospice is a nonprofit organization that does not turn people away. She said she is proud of the work they do and the services they offer.

Staff has even fashioned furniture to rise to bed level so pets can lay next to patients beds when they could not be on the bed with patients.

When most people think hospice they think cancer, but hospice care is for any terminal illness, such as ALS, Parkinson’s disease, and heart disease, Morrison said.

And staff members have watched pets stay beside their owners until the last breath and then grieve, she said.

If the agency can make something happen, it will. Morrison spoke of an elderly couple who wanted to renew their wedding vows before the husband died.

The staff was able to pull together a ceremony - complete with the groom wearing his old military uniform that they draped over him.

The agency also offers music therapy. Morrison said patients have been energized when they are, once again, involved in or hearing music. Staff has even moved musical equipment, such as a piano, into the rooms of patients who play instruments.

bly the most popular therapy.

When all is done and someone is left alone, the center can continue to help, offering grief support with its Blue Ridge Hospice bereavement counselors. That service is available to the community as well, whether an individual was part of Blue Ridge Hospice or not, Morrison said. Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance cover the cost of hospice services. For patients without insurance, Blue Ridge Hospice has the Patient Care Fund to help. That fund is operated with donations.

Serving Shenandoah County Celebrating 10 years of giving back!

Serving over 250 children each month, A Small Hand is able to provide diapers, wipes and other basic need essentials to children three years and younger. On average A Small Hand provides over 30,000 individual diapers to qualifying families in Shenandoah County. The Good Shepherd program provides bags to senior citizens that contain personal hygiene items, paper products, and cleaning supplies. We work together with other senior serving organizations to identify seniors who may benefit.

Luke’s Backpack was started by a group of individuals who saw a need in our community, and a desire to ensure that no child go hungry over the weekend due to limited or no access to a food source. From a mere 15 children in the beginning to now, Luke’s Backpack continues to serve over 250 children each week.

VFW Post 2447, Edinburg VA No one does more for veterans As veterans, we understand our service does not necessarily end simply because we take off the uniform. Many of us struggle to find our place once we leave the military, but the VFW is an organization to help you realize the mission is far from over. Learn about the VFW and what we can do for you. The VFW is the nation’s largest organization composed entirely of veterans who’ve served in an area of foreign conflict. We’re an elite group of proud veterans who offer camaraderie and fellowship by people who understand you. You’ll find it all as a member of the VFW. There’s a sense of pride in knowing that through your VFW membership, you’re continuing a tradition of community service and advocacy that’s more than 115 years old. At our Post you will always find a place among veterans who have shared your experiences.

No other veterans organization can match the VFW’s commitment to our nation’s veterans and those currently serving. We need all of you who eligible to join us. Come in as our guest and see our newly renovated smoke-free social quarters, family friendly outdoor deck area and our commitment to patriotism. There is strength in numbers and when we speak as a respected organization Congress listens. We have been instrumental in gaining vast improvements in the Veterans Administration and better housing and other benefits for service members and their families.

Service to the community We raised more than $30,000 last year for community programs including the following: • Donations to all the Shenandoah County volunteer fire departments and rescue squads; • Donations and classes for the cub scout, boy scout, and girl scout troops • Sponsorship for two Little League baseball teams which includes trips to tournaments; • Sponsorship for one boy to the American Legion Boys State program; • Financial assistance to veterans and families of veterans in need; • Donations to seven medically oriented organizations such as the American Cancer Society • Donations to county high school JROTC and band programs; • Patriots Pen and Voice of Democracy patriot essay and speech competition; • College and trade school scholarships with the help of the Shentel Foundation; • Major sponsor of Veterans Day at the Shenandoah County with assistance from the Shentel Foundation; • Donations to three historical societies and a host of other worthy causes. Along with our Auxiliary members we travel to the Martinsburg VA Medical Center to take veterans to medical appointments. Our members drove DAV vans for more than 50,000 miles last year while Auxiliary members visited veterans at local nursing homes on a regular basis. We need you.
