Yancey County Hospice Dr Jeff Polgar officially turned us down 10/23/12, AGAINST his nurses' recommondation...which is unheard of. Used the "6 month rule". My mother died 4/10/13. It was 6 months 4/23/13. Mitchell County accepted us Good Friday 3/29/13. They were complete Angels in a situation beyond difficult. There are no words to describe what myself and especially my mother went thru. I just wish we would've known we could've gotten them in earlier. They would have been glad to come. They have their own full load and picking up the slack of others. From what I hear from other local residents, it is becoming quite a common occurance. God Bless these folks day in and day out!

My parents needed hospice from early January through to last week when my Dad passed away from…read morecancer. They both had nothing but good to say about them. Hospice was there from the very beginning, explaining everything very clearly and making sure all their questions were answered. Any time Mom & Dad needed anything they were very quick to respond, and as Dad's need for help increased they did whatever was necessary to meet his needs. And they were there for Mom as well; they would regularly send someone to sit with him so that she could go shopping, or just take a break from the stress. In the end, Mom is so grateful for their help that she's asked anyone who wants to express their condolences do so by a donation in his name to them. I'd like to add my thanks for helping my parents through this!
