A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO
Thank you! The words seem
inadequate to express how much
your generosity and support for
Caldwell Hospice and Palliative Care
has meant to us—not just this year,
but for more than three decades
now. But, words are all we have,
so let me say it again—thank you.

Our hospice enjoys tremendous
support and trust from the
community. It is important for you
to know we could not do what we
do without you. In 2014-15, your
contributions helped Caldwell
Hospice provide nearly $100,000
in care to those in our community
who needed end-of-life care and
services but had no way to pay
for them.
We are humbled and honored by
your giving. And, it is not just
financial giving that makes it
possible for us to continue our
work. While monetary donations
are important and needed, Caldwell
Hospice also relies on the giving of
time and talent to help others.
Each year hundreds of volunteers—
from senior citizens to teenagers—
give of themselves by visiting with
patients and families, working in
the patient care units, doing clerical
work, and assisting with yard work
and other needed tasks. Churches,
civic groups and individuals provide
snacks for the patient care units,
supplies, meals and more. Last
year alone, volunteers provided
nearly 14,000 hours of service.
Non-profit hospices around the
country are facing all types of
challenges in today’s competitive
health care marketplace. Ours is
no exception, but the one thing
that sets Caldwell Hospice apart
from others is the strong, steadfast
commitment of our community.
Because of your tax-deductible
contributions, we are able to
provide hospice and palliative care
services to anyone who needs
them, regardless of ability to pay.
But, beyond that, we also can offer
bereavement services to the
community at large, even those
who are not affiliated with
Caldwell Hospice. We can provide
educational support and training in
areas such as dementia care and
end-of-life issues. With you, we are
true community partners.
We pledge to be wise stewards
of your contributions and never
take for granted the kindnesses
you bestow on us. We appreciate
your generosity, and we ask for
your continued support as we
renew our commitment to you
to provide respectful, quality
end-of-life care to all who need
and desire our services.

COVER STORY
Proud to Be Your Community, Not-for-Profit Hospice
or more than 33 years,
Caldwell Hospice and Palliative
Care has been on a mission to
provide compassionate, respectful,
quality end-of-life care to our
community regardless of one’s
ability to pay. In today’s world,
such focus on patient and family
first may sound a bit old-fashioned,
but it has been and shall remain
the guiding force behind our
non-profit hospice.
F
Even in an ever-changing
Serving about 750 patients a year,
Caldwell Hospice is a leader among
non-profit hospices statewide. It
operates North Carolina’s oldest
patient care unit with its Kirkwood
facility in Lenoir. While the majority
of patients still receive most of
their care at home, Caldwell also
has a second patient care unit at
the Robbins Center in Hudson.
“Our community trusts Caldwell
Hospice to be there in its most
difficult and vulnerable times—
during the illness and death of a
loved one, and we honor that trust
by doing the very best we can to
help each patient live each day
in as much dignity and comfort
as possible,” says Swanson. “It is
a mission we take most seriously.”
Medicare requires a set of basic
hospice services from all hospice
agencies for each patient, regardless
of payment source. These include
physician and nursing services,
social work services, spiritual and
bereavement counseling, and
dietary counseling. Medicare and
continued on page 10
and competitive health care
market, service to our
fellowman has always been
our number one priority, and
it will continue to be because
that is what our community
desires and deserves.
While for-profit corporations have
gotten into the hospice business—
in fact, 70% of today’s hospice
providers in the U.S. are for-profit—
the not-for-profit community hospice
model is built not on a financial motive,
but an underpinning of ministry and
service first. The hospice movement—
nationally and locally—was founded on
these community principles of neighbors helping neighbors.
“We care for people—people who
need care and compassion as they
and their loved ones face the end
of life. That’s our business,” says
Cathy Swanson, chief executive
officer. “Even in an ever-changing
and competitive health care market,
service to our fellowman has always
been our number one priority, and
it will continue to be because that
is what our community desires and
deserves.”

t r i b u t e
Caldwell Hospice and Palliative Care offers an
opportunity to remember your loved one with a
lasting memorial or honor a special person in your
life. A personalized brick in memory or in honor
of your loved one, church, business, or civic group
can be part of the Path of Remembrance, the
walkway from our beautiful front porch to our
patient care unit at Kirkwood in Lenoir.
Each four-by-eight brick can be purchased for
a donation of $200 and comes with a certificate
which recognizes your gift. For an additional $25,
you can receive a duplicate of your brick with felt
backing. For more information, contact us at
828.754.0101.

COVER STORY
Proud to Be Your Hospice
Medicaid beneficiaries who choose to
elect the Hospice Medicare/Medicaid
Benefit also must be provided
medical supplies, medications for
symptom control and pain relief
and different levels of care based
on need as well as home health
aide and homemaker services,
volunteer services and physical,
occupational and speech therapies.
In every area of care, Caldwell
Hospice does more than what is
required, offering much more to
patients in our community. These
enhanced services include: cardiac
and pulmonary care at home for
patients with heart/lung disease;
a dementia care program; massage
and aromatherapy; pet visits; vigil
music by the bedside; a veterans
honoring veterans program; 11thhour volunteers to sit with families
during the final hours; a legacy
project; and a full complement of
community bereavement services,
which are open to anyone who
needs them, not just hospice
patients and families.

continued from page 3
In addition, Caldwell Hospice offers
a palliative care program called
AIM: Advanced Illness Management
—for those who need assistance
managing a chronic, potentially lifelimiting illness that is not terminal.
We are not just another
healthcare provider. We are
your community hospice, and
we are honored that you have
chosen to entrust us with the
care of your loved ones.
All these services are available
to all—even those who have no
insurance, Medicare, or any other
means of payment. In other words,
Caldwell Hospice never turns away
a patient because he or she cannot
pay, and that patient receives the
same level of care as anyone else.
How can our hospice make this
commitment when the cost of
health care is rising on every front?
The answer is the generosity and
support of the community we serve.
Caldwell Hospice was born of a
grassroots community movement
in the early 1980s to provide our
friends and neighbors with a holistic
approach to end-of-life care that
would address the physical,
emotional and spiritual needs of
patients and those who love them.
It was in those very early days that
this strong commitment to Caldwell
Hospice was forged and established,
and it has continued to sustain us
all these years as we have grown
and expanded our services and
outreach.
“We are not just another healthcare
provider. We are your community
hospice, and we are honored that
you have chosen to entrust us with
the care of your loved ones,” says
Swanson. “Ours truly is a joint
effort—Caldwell Hospice and the
community coming together to care
for one another. Neighbors helping
neighbors—that is the difference,
the real distinction of a non-profit
hospice.”
