Piedmont Senior Care Company Supports Habitat for Humanity



 Lisa Rumford, community liaison, provided water for volunteer building crew members with Habitat for Humanity on this hot, humid June day.

Agape Senior Piedmont Assisted Living and Hospice Work Together to Find Solution





The Agape 411 number rang on Saturday evening around 8 p.m. Dougal Kear, with Agape Management forwarded  the call to Laney Whittle, Rock Hill Assisted Living Senior Solutions Advisor, because the woman calling said she needed help with her husband to be placed in Assisted Living. Laney called her back around 8:15 and spoke with her for about 45 minutes. Once Laney talked with her she realized the womans husband would probably be appropriate for Hospice rather than Assisted Living.

During the time they were on the phone the woman shared with Laney that she felt like a “prisoner” in her own home, her husband had very advanced Dementia and she didn’t know what else she could do. She kept saying she was scared and wished she just had her “old husband back”. Well the of “S” personality in Laney came out and her heart broke. The woman started weeping on the phone with Laney and said she just needed help….Laney assured her Agape would do everything they could to get her some assistance.

After jumping through a few hoops, contacting hospice,getting the physician order, a time was set where Laney could go to the home and speak in person with the woman and her husband.

Monday morning Laney set out to find the home and a short time later pulled up at a small trailer where the couple was sitting outside on the porch. The woman met Laney at the car and as soon as she got out, she gave Laney the biggest hug and started crying saying you pulling up in this drive way is the most hope I’ve felt in a long time. They sat on the porch, drank sweet tea and  talked for a short time before the woman started telling old stories of  their life together, she smiled just a few times and started laughing with her husband at some jokes they use to tell.

Agape Hospice pulled up a little while later and Susan and Gwyen, Hospice nurses, were able to admit him and give her the hope she was looking for.

Laney got up to leave the home visit  and she came up and said, your constant calling to check up on me and positive attitude throughout this whole situation has blessed me more than you will ever know.

The Piedmont Team got to Share Agape today in a way I’ve never personally seen before.
