There is a show on Ancora Compassionate Care called “Compassionate Conversations.” In Episode #15, Flavel Collins, who is in charge of marketing for the company, talks with Rhonda Lucas, who is the leader of the Serious Illness Care Team, about COPD.
Since 1980, Ancora Compassionate Care has helped, supported, and cared for people in Rockingham and nearby counties who have a serious sickness that will not get better. We offer both hospice and palliative care to people who are nearing the end of their lives.
That’s what we call Serious Illness Care. Our goal is to be a helpful presence on the path of life. No matter if you need hospice care or care for a serious illness, our team knows that everyone’s journey is unique and needs a different amount of support.
When you’re going through a hard time, you might not even know what kind of help you need. There is a lot of information to process in our healthcare system, and medical terms can be hard to understand. A family will often have tough talks during this time that can make people feel very strongly.
Our hope is that this show, which we’re calling Compassionate Conversations, will add to the help we give to the people we work with. That help could come in the form of knowledge. Some of the myths that people have about end-of-life care might need to be busted by telling the truth. We want to make sure that people can have the tough talks and get honest answers with kindness, respect, and compassion.
