Why Wait to Enhance the Quality of Your Life?

Why wait to focus on what matters most to you?

At Coastal Hospice, we understand that when time is limited, how you spend that precious time, matters.

You are not a diagnosis.

You have goals, wishes, and a life to live. We care about you and the quality of your life because when health declines, that extra level of support for you and your family is crucial.

You don’t have to wait to receive the right care.

You don’t have to wait to receive the right support.

Only you can decide what matters most to you and your loved ones and what living to the fullest means.

We are here to make sure that you can do just that, at home.

Why wait?

From the President’s Desk

The first months of 2024 have been both exhilarating and hardworking at Coastal Hospice.

We hit the ground running with many projects seeing the light in January, starting with our new educational campaign, called Why Wait?, whose message focuses on the ability we all have to decide what is important to us and how we want to spent our precious time on this earth. We are very proud of this message and we hope that you take time to scan the QR Code on page 1 or visit our website to watch the full video.

To be consistent with the Why Wait? motto, we could not wait to reach another milestone to celebrate, so this year we are marking our 44th Anniversary with a big celebration, honoring all the community partners and collaborators that every day make possible for us to continue enhancing the quality of life of our patients and their families. To this effect, we are hosting the Excellence in Quality of Life Awards event on April 11th at the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center in Salisbury, MD. We are inviting our community at large to visit our website and learn about the nominees, find sponsorship opportunities, and secure their ticket to attend the event that is shaping to be one for the books! Learn more about the event, nominees, and keynote speaker Matt Paxton on page 18.

The Angel Appeal, our largest fundraising of the year, closed in February and thanks to you was a complete success, raising $325,526.75 that will help us continue providing charity care, along with all the support that is not reimbursed by Medicare, like complementary therapies and bereavement care. We are eternally grateful for your generosity.

Another big change happened when our Thrift Shop recently moved to a beautiful new location. Thanks to an unfaltering group of volunteers, including board members, staff, and community at large, our new location is looking amazing! Go to page 35 to learn details of the big move.

All of this happened while continuing our vital work, caring for our community, and bringing innovation and specialized support to our patients and families. Like our new Advanced Cardiac Care and Advanced Lung Care Programs, and Dementia Patient & Caregiver Support. This focused approach is allowing us to tailor the care we provide with even more precision, supporting patients with critical diagnoses with education, care, and support specifically designed for them.

I hope that you join us at the celebration of 44 years caring for our community. We are here because of you and your invaluable support and we want to see you there!

Giving Back

By Joy Stokes

Maggie Miller’s relationship with hospice began in Delaware. Her mother was a patient at an assisted living facility before moving into the dementia unit where they began receiving hospice care. It was there where Maggie saw the benefits of Hospice and decided if she had time in the future, she would try to give back. This is what motivated her to volunteer at Coastal Hospice.

Maggie’s professional life was as diverse as her volunteer career at Coastal Hospice. Started as a Labor and Delivery Nurse but decided to go back to school to become a Medical Malpractice Defense Attorney. She and her family moved to Ocean Pines in 2006 where she worked from home for a medical insurance company until 2016 when she retired and began volunteering at Coastal Hospice.

For the past 8 years, she has provided her time with us in Patient Care, Respite Care (short period of rest or relief for caregivers), Volunteer Office (copying, filing, patient phone calls, etc.), Medical Records, Thrift Shop, Holiday Run (previously known as Santa Run), and the Coastal Hospice Knitting/Crocheting Group, where she is the Coordinator.

Patient Care is what is near and dear to Maggie. One day when volunteering in the Volunteer office helping, make calls to see if anyone was in need of our volunteer services, Maggie spoke to a man whose wife had just come onto our services. He let her know that it would be wonderful if he could get out once a week while someone spends time with his loved one. When she hung up the phone, Maggie looked at Volunteer Coordinator, Heather Davis with a smile and said, “Okay, now I know why you got me doing this…I’ll take this patient!”

In 2017, the then Coastal Hospice Volunteer Coordinator and Maggie began the Coastal Hospice Knitting/Crochet Group, which still stands today, producing quilts for each one of our Coastal Hospice patients and red, white, and blue quilts for our We Honor Veteran patients. In addition to quilts, they produce twiddle muffs (sensory tool for patients with Dementia). Maggie encourages the community to join or donate to the group. In addition, Maggie is in a group called, Fiber Friends, which meets every Friday 10 to 12 at the Ocean Pines Library. Many in this group make squares that they donate to our Coastal Hospice Knitting/Crochet Group, which helps to complete additional We Honor Veteran’s blankets.

Maggie finds many things rewarding about volunteering at Coastal Hospice, “The flexibility while volunteering here is great as

far as how many hours I give or what day of the week I’m available. I do not want to be on a set schedule because patient care doesn’t have set times. Some of the patients and families I’m volunteering with need me at random times to fit their schedules. At times, a patient’s family member may call if they have a doctor’s appointment or want to go out to lunch with a friend. One of my patient’s husbands enjoys getting out of the house three days a week to play nine holes of golf. After I’m done sitting with his wife, I swing into the Salisbury office to help out the Volunteer Department in whatever capacity they need. Coastal Hospice is both gracious and grateful for our time and you will always feel appreciated, that is for sure. The appreciation not only comes from Coastal Hospice but from the patients and their loved ones. They are always so kind, you know and happy to see you when you show up. Flexibility is key!”

Maggie shares some memorable moments she has had throughout her eight years of service to Coastal Hospice, “The Santa Run holds so many memorable times for me. This was pre-COVID and one of us would dress as Santa and the other as an elf. The patient and family would invite us in and we would gift them with a knitted/crocheted blanket, a bowl of fruit, and a small gift. Many times, we would have coffee and spend some time visiting.”

“Another memorable moment that turned into many fun times happened when I was volunteering at the Coastal Hospice Thrift Shop. A patron asked for my opinion on their outfit they tried on, after that they would come weekly when I was volunteering to get my approval on their outfit of choice and critique my mannequin dressing skills!

For Maggie, volunteering is extremely rewarding even though it has some ups and downs. “This is because you learn to care about your patient and their loved ones. If one of her patient passes, you know they are in a better place and not suffering.” Maggie is honored when families ask her to attend funerals and wakes to pay her respects and be with the family she has grown close to.

Maggie wants the community to know that the opportunity to volunteer is rewarding in many ways. She encourages the community members in our four Lower Eastern Shore Communities to take the leap and o become a Coastal Hospice Volunteer. “I would not have met so many people and made so many memories unless I volunteered.”

Journey Connections

Grief in Spring: Navigating the Ups and Downs

By Alvin Harmon

Spring is a time of hope and renewal, but it can also be a challenging season for those experiencing grief. On one hand, the signs of new life and growth can be comforting and inspiring. On the other hand, they can serve as painful reminders of the world moving forward while we feel stuck in our grief.

During this spring season, you may have moments of joy and comfort with loved ones and in nature. However, alongside these highlights, you may also experience feelings of guilt and sadness. It's normal to have mixed emotions during this time. You might feel like you're moving further away from the past and the people you miss.

Spring months host many religious holidays and can bring reminders of family members who are no longer with us during gatherings. It can also be a time when you feel alone while others are surrounded by family. Loneliness is not just about being physically alone; it's about missing specific people or relationships. It's okay to feel lonely even in a room full of people.

While there are no magic words to make grief disappear, here are a few gentle reminders to help you navigate this season:

Find Comfort Where You Can

Look for comfort in the cycles of nature, spiritual reminders of rebirth and redemption, or spending time with friends and family.

Create Space for Grief

It's important to acknowledge your grief even when surrounded by positivity. Gratitude can coexist with grief. Allow yourself to feel the pain of loss while appreciating the hope that spring brings.

Your Connection to the Past

Embrace the bright spots in the season that bring you joy and ease your pain. Your connection to your past and loved ones lives in your memories and the ways they have shaped you.

Spending Time in Nature

Nature has a positive impact on our well-being. Research shows that being in nature can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. It can improve our mood, mental sharpness, and even boost our immune systems. Take advantage of the changing seasons to connect with the natural world.

Set an Intention

Start the season with a small intention for your day-to-day life. It can be something simple that you want more or less of. Setting intentions can help bring focus and positivity to your daily experiences.

You're Not Alone

Remember that you're not alone in feeling down during the spring. Many people experience similar emotions during this time. Reach out to friends, family, support groups, counselors, or others in your community for support and understanding.

Worcester Memorial Gathering

The Coastal Hospice Bereavement Department honored the life of loved ones and shared in their remembrance at the Worcester Memorial Gathering at the Ocean City Fishing Pier, in Ocean City, Maryland. Attendees had the opportunity to honor their loved ones with a Shell Ceremony as the sun began to set.

This beautiful ceremony holds space for remembrance and reflection. Our guests are invited to write the names of their loved ones on a shell and if they choose to, to toss it along with those gathered throughout the year from Hospice family members into the Ocean City Inlet, with a beautiful view of Assateague Island. Each person's grief is unique and these memorial gatherings are one of many ways Coastal Hospice supports our community.

Our Memorial Gatherings happen throughout the year across the four counties. See page 11 for 2024 schedule. We invite you to visit www.coastalhospice.org/grief-support for dates, times, and to register.

Offering Support After Substance Related Death

By Alvin Harmon

As the opioid crisis continues to sweep across the nation, our four Lower Eastern Shore communities are grappling with an alarming rise in substance related deaths, leaving countless individuals and families shattered by grief. In the face of this growing epidemic, Coastal Hospice’s Survivor Outreach Bereavement Services (SOBS) Program has emerged as a beacon of hope, providing much-needed support and solace to those who have experienced this type of loss.

Grief is a powerful emotion that can leave us feeling lost, overwhelmed, and searching for support. When it comes to the devastating loss of a loved one due to substance use disorder, the emotional toll can be particularly heavy. The shock, guilt, and sadness that accompany a substance related death can be difficult to navigate alone. This is where our SOBS Program steps in, providing a lifeline for those who have been affected by this heart-wrenching tragedy.

In the face of such a devastating loss, timely intervention and support are crucial. The SOBS Program understands this and provides outreach to those in need. By offering compassionate care and a listening ear, we ensure that no one has to face their grief alone.

Our SOBS Bereavement Counselors are currently offering support groups and one-on-one grief support to many residents of our four Lower Eastern Shore communities. Individual and group counseling sessions provide a safe and confidential space for individuals to express their feelings and find comfort in the shared experiences of others.

Michael, a program participant turned advocate, shares his experience, "The program not only supported me in my darkest moments but also gave me a platform to make a difference. Through speaking engagements and community

By offering compassionate care and a listening ear, we ensure that no one has to face their grief alone.

initiatives, I have been able to use my personal experience to raise awareness and fight against the stigma around substance use disorder. The program showed me that my grief could be a catalyst for change and I will forever be grateful for that."

The success of our SOBS Program can be attributed in large part to its strong partnerships with local healthcare providers and treatment centers. By collaborating with professionals in addiction medicine and mental health, the program ensures that participants receive broad support tailored to their specific needs. This collaborative approach fosters a sense of continuity in care and enhances the overall recovery journey.

In addition, recognizing the crucial role of law enforcement and first responders in addressing the substance death crisis, the program actively involves these essential community members. Through training sessions and collaborative initiatives, the program nurtures a better understanding of the complexities of grief associated with a substance related death, creating a more compassionate and supportive environment for those affected by overdose.

Our SOBS Program is designed to provide FREE support to anyone who has lost a loved one to a substance related death, regardless of his or her relationship to the deceased, their age, or how long ago the loss was experienced. The program welcomes and supports individuals, families, and friends who are navigating the complex emotions and challenges that come with overdose grief.

By acknowledging the individuality of grief and addressing the unique needs of each participant, the program has built a stronger support system that provides solace, resilience, and hope to those on their journey towards healing.

If you or a loved one is in need of support, please contact Coastal Hospice. We are here for you.

Grief and Loss Support Groups

We offer in-person Grief and Loss Support Groups throughout the year. The purpose of these support groups is to provide an atmosphere of trust and acceptance in which participants may freely share their experiences, struggles, feelings, and concerns as well as their strengths, solutions, and joys. The groups will encourage participants to create friendships and network with each other. This support is offered at no cost to any adult who has experienced the death of a loved one, even if they were not a patient of Coastal Hospice. One-on-one phone support or in-person meetings are available by request.

We are tailoring our grief and loss support groups to our communities’ needs. We encourage you to visit our website and social media to learn about any additional group details for 2024.

Reflections

Understanding That Pain Goes Beyond the Physical

By Alvin Harmon

Whenwe think of hospice care, we often focus on treating physical symptoms like pain, shortness of breath, or agitation. However, pain isn't always physical. Many hospice patients also experience spiritual pain. They may have questions about what happens after death or ponder the meaning of their life. It is in these quiet and most vulnerable moments that we ask questions like, “How will others remember me?” “Did my life have an impact?” “Did I make a difference?”

Just as doctors and nurses treat physical symptoms, Coastal Hospice Chaplains are specially trained to provide spiritual and emotional support to patients and their families. They listen to patients' feelings and help them find new meaning and purpose.

Disease, decline, and even death do not erase all the meaningful, beautiful, and strong aspects of a person's life. The chaplain’s role is to affirm and support patients as they find new meaning in the things that have given their life purpose.

while others find meaning, joy, and hope outside of religious practices. Spirituality can be found in meditation, spending time with loved ones, connecting with nature, or creating art.

Regardless of our beliefs, we all seek meaning and purpose in our lives and experiences. We support patients based on their beliefs, whatever they may be. Meaning and purpose go beyond religion.

Hospice chaplains do not aim to impose a specific belief system or religion. Instead, they meet patients where they are and support them in addressing their own human experience, whatever form it takes.

Hospice chaplains play a vital role in addressing the invisible pain and discomfort that people often experience at the end of life.

While listening is a significant part of their role, chaplains also offer support in other ways. To include, teaching families about the spiritual aspects of the dying process, reading devotional materials or scripture, and assisting with legacy projects that validate patients' accomplishments.

Spirituality is unique to each person and can be expressed in various ways. Some find it through religion,

Coastal Hospice Chaplains work closely with physicians, nurses, certified nursing assistants, and social workers as part of the interdisciplinary team to provide holistic care. They also collaborate with community clergy. Many patients have strong relationships with their faith leaders and chaplains do not replace them. Instead, they work together to provide the best spiritual and emotional care at the end of life.

Hospice chaplains play a vital role in addressing the invisible pain and discomfort that people often experience at the end of life. They are compassionate, empathetic, and non-judgmental. They listen, guide, and support. They help ease fears and assist people in finding meaning and peace during their final months. With the support of a hospice chaplain, we can embrace the special moments that occur at the end of life, just as we do at the beginning.

Welcoming our New Spiritual Counselors

We are delighted and humbled to welcome our new Spiritual Counselor, Rev. Dr. Wil Sagesse and Volunteer Spiritual Counselor Kelly Owrey, who are committed and passionate about the services and value they will be providing to our community.

Rev. Dr. Wil Sagesse is originally from Haiti and has been living in the United States for more than twenty years. In addition to being a husband and father to his two middle school sons, he’s also a soccer coach, counselor, youth care specialist, pastor, and chaplain. As a pastoral care provider, he provides pastoral visitation, grief counseling, and crisis intervention to congregational members and their families in their homes, hospitals, and hospices.

Wil excitingly shared, “Over the past weeks, it has been enjoyable for me to be part of an interdisciplinary team at Coastal Hospice where healthcare professionals from different fields work together to achieve a common goal. Working in this field for many years, gave me a much greater appreciation and value for life as a pastor and chaplain. I joined Coastal Hospice to give hospice patients and their families a meaningful experience as a result of my greater appreciation for life.”

“Providing exceptional spiritual care and support to patients, families, and caregivers is something I am especially passionate about. Since my top priority is to achieve the best possible outcomes for the individuals to whom I provide care, I strive to do so in a supportive, caring, and sensitive manner. It is a unique opportunity to teach people about end-of-life care, guide them spiritually, and provide grief counseling to those suffering. Aside from being very diverse, the agency also offers a wide variety of services for those nearing the end of their lives and for their families, demonstrating their commitment to helping patients at the end of their lives live comfortably. The value we place on life can be seen in this. As a member of the team, I look forward to supporting the agency's mission by meeting the needs of those we serve.”

“Don’t aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference.” Denzel Washington

Kelly Owrey, and her husband Don, moved from Western Pennsylvania to the Eastern Shore of Maryland in the summer of 2022. This career change for Don also became a career change for Kelly. Her life in Pennsylvania was spent raising their three now grown sons, working for a church in both children’s and youth ministry, and coaching track and cross country for the local high school. Knowing that life would look very different once the boys were out of the house, she rather spontaneously acted on a “challenge” from a well-respected mentor which caused her to pursue a master’s degree in religion with a concentration in community chaplaincy. Though she spent many hours studying and perfecting the academic side of this pursuit, she feels she really just got a certification and a fancy degree for something that she has always naturally done, and that is to connect people to their faith and to each other through whatever means God uses.

Kelly and Don are enjoying their “empty nest” life in the Ocean City area. They like the sunnier skies, something they saw little of from November to April in western PA. They also love everything about the beach and especially enjoy spending time on Assateague Island. They appreciate the pride that people here have for their community. People have been kind and friendly and often go out of their way to educate these “northerners” on where to eat on the shore, how to pronounce correctly the many interesting names, and all of the things “authentic” Marylanders do.

Kelly explained, “Hospice is about life and living. It is life that is felt when one walks down the halls of Stansell House or has the privilege of entering a patient’s home. Yes, hospice is hard, sad, even often traumatic, but somehow through hospice this heartbreaking process comes full circle in a way that honors the patient, supports the family, and gives all life dignity.”

Caregiver Academy

Why Wait to Obtain Your Continuing Education (CEs)?

By Lauren King

Our Caregiver Academy offers FREE educational webinars to the community as a whole, hosted by experienced professionals to educate you on the benefits of hospice. Our exceptional programs offer continuing educational credits for physicians, nurses, and social workers, when available.

As an example, this past January, we discussed the importance of goal-concordant medication in the webinar De-Prescribing in Advance Illness. Dr. Mary Lynn McPherson discussed “right-sizing” medication regimens for patients living with a serious illness. Medication management of metabolic syndrome and advanced Alzheimer’s disease were used as examples of a critical thinking process that results in maximizing the appropriate drug therapy. You can learn more about this important topic in the article, The Goldilocks Approach to Medications on page 30, written by Dr. McPherson.

Our programs are FREE to register and you will be able to obtain your Continuing Education hours, so Why Wait? During these webinars, we will dive in and learn the benefits of palliative care for patients with advanced illnesses as they distinguish the differences between palliative and curative care. Also, having productive discussions require skill, time, and a lot of compassion. An empathetic approach gives agency to patients and opens the opportunity for a collaboration in creating goals of care. These and other important topics will be presented this year.

We can’t wait for you to join us! Please see page 15 for our 2024 Caregiver Academy Educational Lineup.

If you missed the opportunity to attend, please go to our Caregiver Academy page and watch any of our pre-recorded educational programs. Lauren

Your Legacy, Your Story: A Conversation with Matt Paxton

By Alejandra Lazcano

Matt Paxton knows a thing or two about sorting lifetime possessions. As the top downsizing, decluttering, and hoarding expert in the country, his job is to help people go through the challenging and emotional process of revisiting one’s life’s mementos.

On any of his Emmy winning TV show episodes, The Legacy List with Matt Paxton, he and his crew help homeowners sort through decades of belongings and help them identify what he calls “the legacy list”.

“A legacy list is a list of the top five or ten items in your home that tell your family history, your family story. They're usually not the most valuable items, nor the most expensive either. They tend to be emotionally valuable, not financially valuable. I usually ask the fire question, If your house caught on fire, what are the five items you'd want to save? If you ask that question, you're going to get the top five items, and that's typically your legacy list. And then you ask the big question, Why are they important ? And you want to get to the story, because once you start, there'll be very substantial stories.”

I love it and could never get rid of it. I spent summers for a decade going with my grandpa fishing and I learned how to be the man I am with him.

But this profound understanding for the human need for stories didn’t just appear. It would take working through his own grief to figure out how to reach people on a deeper level. “I had just lost my father and a therapist encouraged me to volunteer. That’s when in I joined Comfort Zone Camp, a grief camp for kids that had lost their parents. I did probably more than 30 camps around the country, but mainly in Virginia. It changed my life. What I learned there is the absolute cornerstone of my style of helping families declutter their homes: Listen to their stories while someone is grieving.”

Listen to Matt Paxton at the Excellence in Quality of Life Awards! Get your ticket today!

Having these deep conversations — while sorting through piles of stuff — is at the core of his compassionate way of helping people let go. With each story, people celebrate the life of their loved ones, bringing to life memories and by doing so, creating new ones for others.

Some guests on his show uncover valuable memorabilia along with epic family journeys, but not all families have that. “Not all of us have many amazing stories, but most of us have something that started our family, that created the foundation of our family, that matter to us. Like for me, my grandfather's fishing reel was really important. I got to go fishing with my grandfather. Is it an expensive reel? No. It's probably worth 20 bucks, but

“Caregiving is one of the greater places to share the stories of items. I think it's easier to have the hard conversation if you attach it to a possession, because the item is just a stepping stone to the story. Not all of us are good at telling stories [or getting to the hard topics], but you do have the ability to ask, ‘Hey, grandma, what's this? Where did you get this ring? I'd love to know the story behind it.’ That’s a conversation starter, right there. ‘So it was your great grandmother’s, and she told me this and that.’ Oftentimes, for people that aren't good at sharing stories, an item gives them the ability to talk about something. If we're in a caregiving situation, we know we have the time.

We have the space, we have the ability, but oftentimes as caregivers, we don't know what to say or do.”

Over the years, Matt has perfected this conversational process, and in his book “Keep the Memories, Loose the Stuff” he offers the reader a script of sorts to guide these conversations and help discover your legacy. In its simple format, it’s a series of questions aimed to help you start a conversation and keep the stories flowing, but he warns you, that once people start revealing their lives, they realize the joys of doing it and have trouble stopping!

The depth of each question grows as you go. “It builds on purpose, it's intentional and I want people to go through these 10 questions, if you have no clue. They are a way to start and I guarantee you'll never get through all, most people never do. They start chatting, talking, and telling stories, and all of a sudden, an hour passed. I always tell people to carve out an hour each day for a story starter, and get your loved one to tell their story. I really want people to have their mind shift and go from 'it’s awful, and it takes a lot of effort' to see it as a great way to learn more about your loved one and your family's history. This is the mind shift. You have to decide at the beginning that this is an amazing opportunity to learn things about your loved ones and family, instead of thinking what an awful thing this is going to be for the next week or two. I really want you to make that shift in your mind. And if you do that, then you start to have a more open mind to these things and start to really embrace the stories. It is an opportunity to learn everything about your family but you’ve got to be able to have that mindset change.”

He knows it is not an easy process, especially for those whose life forced the hand and must do the dreaded effort of going through their life’s possessions. It’s a big loss, particularly when they feel they are been handled. “They want to be in charge and they should be. I know I am there to help them make decisions. For family members and caregivers, I know it’s hard when there is a million decisions to be made, but I ask caregivers, please don't take over. I think that's the key. We are here to assist, not to take over. If we do, then that's just another thing that they’ve lost and you're going to see the person shut down. You're going to see them get depressed. They're not going to share their stories. So instead, you should ask them, what do you want to do here? Where do you want that? Etc. You're letting them stay in charge, and that's just brutally important. Let the person know you are there to help, but let them be in charge. You are there to be an agent of help. You are there to be the muscle, the hands. You’re not there to be the mind. They have the mind. It's their stuff. It's their memories. And you want them to tell their stories. That's why this process is 100% about compassion, listening, and respect.”

Matt also has wisdom for those sharing their stories, “It doesn’t have to be perfect. Just say what you remember. It shouldn't be perfect, it should be messy. You should have parts of it that you forgot because you've had a long life. Just say what you remember. Those memories will become other memories for them.” Alejandra

Community Partner in Expert Care: Gigi Pierce on Advance Care Planning

By Lauren Blair

Advance directives is not a topic that everyone typically jumps up to address, in fact there are many reasons why some may be hesitant to talk about advance directives. Discussing end-of-life care often involves confronting one’s own mortality, which some may find uncomfortable. Some may prefer to avoid recognizing the aging process, thus put off having these conversations, or perhaps they worry about how their loved ones may feel if they have these discussions. Many are not fully aware of what advance directives entail or it may seem premature to discuss end-of-life care when we are young and healthy.

In the theme of National Healthcare Decisions Day on April 16, we are excited to announce that beginning this summer, we will be offering assistance in completion of the "Five Wishes" legal document across our four Lower Eastern Shore Counties (Dorchester, Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester). This legal document enables individuals to establish their medical treatment preferences and end-of-life care choices in the event that they become unable to make decisions for themselves, ensuring that their preferences are honored by healthcare providers and loved ones. Five wishes help families start the conversation and help them consider what “quality of life” means to them.

I recently had the opportunity to interview Georgette “Gigi” Pierce, RN, BSN, and Community Care Coordinator at TidalHealth who has a vast experience with advance directives.

Why is advance care planning important?

I have been a nurse for 30 years; my start was in intensive care for the first 17 years. I was able to help many of patients recover from serious illnesses but I was also in a position to be with them at the end of their lives. I saw people die after much suffering with the use of a lot of ever-evolving technology, which can prolong someone's life, but not necessarily the quality of their life. The patients who had a plan for what the end of their lives would be like, shared this plan with their family and healthcare providers, had a comfortable and comforting end of life experience.

End-of-life planning is difficult to talk about and the forms are not easy to explain. Conversations about planning for the end of your life are always easier when one is in relatively good physical and mental health.

Why is it is so important to make healthcare decisions for ourselves?

This can be one of the most difficult times in a person’s life. When all the decisions are left for the ones you love, this can be quite a burden to deal with. It can lead to quarrels and complicated grief amongst family members. Families can grieve appropriately and accept their loss in a heathy way when there is a guide or plan in place.

How do you help patients make end-of-life decisions?

Education is key in making sure our patients are able to make informed decisions about their care and help them know what options they may have. Having a clear understanding of choices in your medical treatment plan and being able to ask questions to ensure understanding is so important and often overlooked because of time constraints. I believe educating patients about the normal aging process and informing them about how specific diseases will affect the length of someone's life is important.

Patients and families still do not realize that insurance does not cover home care except under rare circumstances. Planning for appointing someone as a caretaker and making sure this person is physically and emotionally able to care for you is another important element of advance care planning.

Education is key in making sure our patients are able to make informed decisions about their care and help them know what options they may have.

What do you find that people are most comfortable talking about when it comes to advance care planning?

Most people are comfortable talking about their values. I usually try to ask my patients a few questions that are proven by research to help patients and families have these hard conversations: What is most important to you? Have you had an experience with losing a loved one? What would you not want the end of life to look like? What do you need help with the most? Lastly, what gives you joy? These open-ended questions require thought and you can get a good dialogue going to help the patient understand their own values enough to make some decisions.

Can you provide an example of a complex experience you have had with instructing others on health care decision-making?

Yes, one of the patients who stands out was someone who did not have any healthcare for many years and was very ill in the hospital. He had a sister and nephew who were trying to care for him at home, but he wound up back in the hospital. The family disagreed on how to make decisions about his care. He was in the hospital on a ventilator with a feeding tube. He was not able to wean off the ventilator and the plan was for him to transfer to a ventilator facility a few hours away. He was probably down to 80 pounds with many bedsores and he was not stable enough to have a biopsy of his kidney to confirm a diagnosis of cancer. The ethics committee was involved and tried talking to the family members who just kept saying, “He wants to live,” even though he pulled out his feeding tube multiple times. It was replaced at the request of family members. Most of the doctors documented that they felt that this patient was suffering needlessly and it would have been in his best interest to have comfort care. The family was divided, so heroic measures continued until his heart gave out (he needed chest compressions) and one brother told the doctors to let him pass away and to not continue CPR. This patient spent the last 3 months of his life in an intensive care unit, unable to take in food by mouth or speak. Most of us would think that this is not good quality of life.

Legacy Award

By Lauren King

In celebration of 44 years of caring for the Lower Eastern Shore, Coastal Hospice is thrilled to present the first Excellence in Quality of Life Awards. These recognitions celebrate partnerships that make possible for us to enhance the quality of life of our patients and families. Among them, is Apple Discount Drugs, whose president Jeff Sherr, will receive this year’s Legacy Award, recognizing his leadership and support to our mission throughout the years.

I had the honor of interviewing Jeff Sherr, who has been a big advocate for hospice since the beginning. Jeff was born in Baltimore, MD and graduated from University of Maryland College of Pharmacy in 1978. He took a sales position with Eli Lilly & Company on the shore until December 1982 when he joined Ames Plaza Drugs as Junior Business Partner. Ames Drug was founded in 1971 by Len Winkleman with two business associates. “The business could not survive with three owners, so Len took over the business himself until 1982 when I joined”. Ames Plaza Drugs became Apple Discount Drugs in 1992. After Len retired in 1998, we opened Snow Hill Pharmacy in 1999, followed by three more pharmacies in the region.

When I asked Jeff what motivated him to pursue a career in pharmacy, he shared “the desire to help people” Initially, Jeff wanted to do juvenile diabetes research, but mentioned his personality was not one of a “lab rat” and soon discovered that he needed people to interact with, since that was his strength.

Apple Discount Drug has been proudly partnering with Coastal Hospice patients for over 25 years. “For over a quarter century, we have been totally committed to Coastal Hospice with a goal of taking care of their patients. Your absolute generosity is truly beyond anything

imaginable. Our goal moving forward is to continue to be as successful along with Coastal Hospice for the next 25 years.”

To Jeff, Apple Drug is “more than just a drug store” He explains, “Our focus is on healthcare, so whether adherence packaging in our assisted living division, custom prepared medications in our compounding lab, enteral therapy, medical equipment, medical oxygen and CPAP/biPAP, or even diabetes education and continuous glucose monitoring, we are patient centric and solve problems on a daily basis.”

Most recently, Apple Drugs showed their support for Coastal Hospice when they generously lent medical equipment that was crucial for the filming of our Why Wait? commercial as in-kind. After viewing our commercial, he remarked, “Excellent commercial segment and without a doubt, the most impactful commercial that has ever featured Coastal Hospice and their patients. Great message that truly hits home, especially for those who have experienced the loss of a loved one.”

Jeff has been married to Joanne Sherr (a registered pharmacist) for almost 45 years and have three children, Zack, PharmD, and business partner; Danny who is an ultrasound technician; and Alyssa an occupational therapist.

We thank Jeff Sherr and Apple Discount Drugs for their continued support and hope to see the community support him and Coastal Hospice at the Excellence in Quality of Life Awards this April 11th at the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center. For more information visit: www.coastalhospice.org/eql-awards.

Lauren

Jeff recounts a fond memory that to him, shows how a small decision can impact the life of many. “Years ago, I received a call on Christmas morning for pain medication. We were opening Christmas gifts with our then very young children and I had to tell everyone to stop until I get back home. Our kids were disappointed with the delay, but at that moment it was all about the patient. I opened the store to a very appreciative family member and got them taken care of. A few days later there was a ‘card of thanks’ in the Daily Times, thanking me for all that I did. The real message was to my kids, that the small delay made a huge difference to a very sick patient. My son, Zack certainly learned that lesson as today he is ‘driving the bus’ at Apple and setting that same example.”

Why Wait to Embrace Comfort? The Power of Early Hospice Care

By Lauren Blair

Introducing hospice services earlier rather than later can provide numerous benefits for those facing life-limiting illnesses, their families, and their loved ones. When patients are referred to hospice with only a few days left of their lives, they miss benefits their families could have had. Some of the many benefits of starting hospice care sooner include:

Improved Quality of Life: Hospice care emphasizes enhancing the quality of life for those facing a terminal illness. When a patient begins hospice services early on in their illness journey, patients can receive comprehensive care that manages their physical, emotional well-being, and spiritual needs.

Assistance with Activities of Daily Living: Toward the end of life, patients may have difficulty with selfcare, struggling with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and toileting. Certified Nursing Assistants help with those needs, so when patients are admitted to hospice services sooner, patients and their families have more opportunity for quality time together.

Symptom Management: Hospice professionals are experts in providing pain control, symptom relief, and effective management of symptoms related to the terminal illness, such as increased pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, or nausea, helping patients experience greater comfort and a higher quality of life.

Education and Training for the Caregiver: Caregiving involves tasks beyond daily living, like bathing, feeding, and dressing, but also includes specialized undertakings, like administering medication, help manage symptoms, and attending to other duties. Our nurses and team members provide the training and education that caregivers need to provide the best care for their loved ones when they are away.

Time to Cultivate Relationships with Hospice Team: Building a relationship with the hospice team early on in a patient’s journey allows patients and their families to develop a rapport, encouraging strong communication, which can help with a more tailored care plan.

Avoid Unnecessary Hospitalizations: Hospitalizations can become routine at the end of life. Ambulance rides or changes in daily routine can be very distressing for patients and their loved ones. Hospice manages patient’s symptoms right in the comfort of their own home, helping patients to be able to stay where they are familiar and most comfortable.

Emotional and Psychosocial Support: Patients may have feelings of depression or hopelessness at the end of life. Spiritual counselors and social workers can help them cope and our volunteers provide patients and their loved ones with friendship, comfort, and support. Hospice professionals start end-of-life conversations early on to ensure that the patient's wishes are met, promoting dignity and quality of life.

Care Coordination: The hospice team works with patients, their loved ones, and other healthcare providers to promote continuity of care. Early hospice participation allows the team to effectively address the miscellaneous needs of the patient and family. The hospice team arranges for the delivery of any needed equipment to the patient’s house, such as a hospital bed, wheelchair, walker, oxygen, and a bedside commode.

Extended Bereavement Support: Hospice services include bereavement support for loved ones after a patient passes away. Getting to know hospice staff early on in a patient’s journey can help loved ones better navigate the grieving process.

The earlier a patient comes onto hospice services, the more support and assistance a patient and their loved ones will be able to receive through visits from our hospice staff. When a patient is referred late, they miss opportunities that our hospice team can provide. Conversely, those who join hospice early, get to receive more of all the above. More support translates into time to focus on what matters most to you. “I wish I had called hospice sooner” is a common phrase we hear. You don’t have to wait to receive the care and support you need. Call us today.

Coastal Hospice Announces New Advanced Lung Care Program

By Dr. Stacy Cottingham

Coastal Hospice, in collaboration with the American Lung Association (ALA) and the National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation (NPHI) launched the Advanced Lung Care Program to improve care quality and access to hospice and palliative/advanced illness care. This cutting-edge program provides specialized care for patients experiencing severe symptoms from chronic lung disease, which includes COPD, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, asthma, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, pulmonary fibrosis, sarcoidosis, and pulmonary hypertension.

Coastal Hospice designed our local program to help patients who are tired of being in and out of hospital emergency departments for their chronic lung disease. Advanced lung disease is often associated with a high level of symptom burden that significantly reduces

patients’ quality of life and can be very stressful on caregivers. Coastal Hospice provides specialized care to treat the symptoms of advanced lung disease. At one time or another, someone with advanced lung disease can experience any of the following signs and symptoms:

• Difficulty breathing

• Worsening cough

• Changes in mucus production

• Decrease in alertness or episodes of confusion

• Fever

• Chest pain or tightness

• Poor appetite and/or unintentional weight loss

• Medications may not work like they used to

• New difficulty performing daily activity

• Dizziness

• Swelling (feet, ankles, or stomach)

• Poor sleep

• Require oxygen

As these symptoms increase, so do the trips to the doctor and hospital. Coastal Hospice can help manage the symptoms of advanced lung disease while decreasing

or eliminating the need to return to the hospital. By wrapping the patient and caregiver with education and other health resources, we can give them the peace of mind that they do not have to leave home but have a specialized team come to them to help manage symptoms.

Goals for managing the symptoms of advanced lung disease include:

• Reduce emergency department visits and hospital readmissions.

• Manage advanced lung symptoms wherever the patient calls home.

• Increase patient and family understanding of advanced lung disease in end of life care.

• Improve quality of life.

Services a Lung Care Program patient receive include:

• Symptom management toolkit that includes a symptom tracker, action plan tool, medication organizer, and Advanced Lung Care Patient and Caregiver Handbook.

All patients enrolled in our Advanced Lung Care Program will receive the Patient and Caregiver Handbook that contains the best standards of care for advanced lung disease.

To learn more about our Advanced Lung Care Program, call 410-742-7878 or ask your provider about contacting Coastal Hospice, or visit, https://www.coastalhospice.org/ lung-care-program/.

For more information, please contact Dr. Stacy Cottingham, Special Programs Access Liaison RN at scottingham@coastalhospice.org or by phone: 410-742-8732 ext. 625

• 24-hour access by phone to hospice nurses for questions and symptom management needs.

• Optimized care to reduce or eliminate hospitalizations.

• A specialized hospice care team that includes a Coastal Hospice physician/NP, nurse, certified nursing assistant, social worker, chaplain, and volunteer.

• Customized plan of care to fit your goals.

• Ongoing education about advanced lung disease

• Bereavement support.

• Collaboration between Coastal Hospice and the patient’s primary care physician and pulmonologist

• Medications to help shortness of breath, customized to individual symptom needs.

At Coastal Hospice, we want to make sure that patients with advanced lung disease and their families receive care and support. By managing symptoms and incorporating self-care techniques, our team can keep you out of the hospital or emergency room and provide your care in the comfort of your own home.

The “Goldilocks Approach” to Medications

By Mary Lynn McPherson, PharmD, PhD

We’ve often heard the expression “better living through chemistry” (originally coined by DuPont chemical company in the 1930’s). This sentiment could easily be applied to the many medications we have available to treat mild, self-limiting conditions like a cold, to more serious health conditions. Think of the enormous impact the development of antibiotics had on public health!

With any medication, the expectation is that the benefit, such as treating an infection, controlling the blood pressure, or providing vitamin supplementation) is greater than the burden (side effects, drug interactions, or the burden of taking so many medications). When a physician, advanced practice nurse, or physician assistant writes a prescription, they carefully consider the specific patient and the medications they can select from. The best medication is chosen and treatment begins. The prescriber may need to adjust the dose up or down to achieve the most benefit with the least burden. Sometimes the medication is just not a good fit for the patient and the medication must be discontinued. Medications are not meant to be continued forever; they are only continued if they continue to meet the patient’s needs without causing harm.

The “Goldilocks Approach” to medication therapy is a good rule to live by for everyone.

When caring for patients with a serious illness, we often need to add medications to treat pain or other symptoms. However, sometimes we can stop other medications because they are no longer meeting the patient’s needs. Sometimes patients are taking a medication that is intended to slow the progression of chronic illness, such as dementia. However, when the illness has reached a very advanced condition, the medication is likely not providing any benefit and may be simply increasing the risk of side effects. Some medications are considered “preventative”, like a medication used to lower cholesterol to minimize the risk of having a heart attack or stroke. In the face of serious illness, the risk of having a heart attack or stroke may be extremely small compared to the risk of having a side effect from the medication and the decision may be made to stop the medication. People who have a serious illness often have less appetite and their blood pressure and blood glucose may naturally fall, eliminating the need for blood pressure or diabetes medications.

One of the most important things we consider with the medications for a patient with a serious illness is the patient’s goals of care. For example, when a person is diagnosed with cancer, their goal may be to pursue chemotherapy to eliminate the cancer. When someone has a more serious illness, they may choose to stop chemotherapy and only take medications that aim to eliminate pain or other symptoms.

About half of all adults over the age of 65 take five or more medications regularly; this is referred to as “polypharmacy.” Unfortunately, it’s thought that as many as one in five of those medications may be inappropriate for the patient. The more medications a person takes, the higher the risk of having a drug interaction or a side effect. Sometimes a medication used to treat one condition may cause a new condition. For example, diphenhydramine (Benadryl) can be used to treat insomnia, but it may lead to a new problem – loss of balance and falling. For these reasons, we should adopt a “Goldilocks Approach” to medications – not too many, not too few, just the right amount, and kind!

The “Goldilocks Approach” to medication therapy is a good rule to live by for everyone. The patient and prescriber should have conversations regularly about the continued usefulness of all the medications the patient is taking. When the prescriber adds a new medication, the patient should ask if any of the medications he or she is already taking can be discontinued. For patients with a serious illness, we must consider the goals of care and continue only those medications that help meet those goals. It’s always a good idea to discuss your medication regimen with a health care provider such as your prescriber, the community pharmacist, or in the case of serious illness, the hospice nurse.

Local Businesses and Community Show their Support in a Big Way!

CraZy LadyZ presented Coastal Hospice a check for $6,490.00.

Their annual “fundraising trip” picks a local charity on the Lower Eastern Shore. CraZy LadyZ along with Braemar Travel matched half of the contributions from their customers.

Jan stated, “This is the second year we have chosen Coastal Hospice…at one point our family members or we ourselves will most likely utilize hospice care. My Mom ended up in Hospice and they were amazing and I cannot say enough about them. It takes a very special person to care for our loved ones and dealing with the emotions of the family members. This is our way of recognizing the care and work you all do for the community. Not everyone is cut out to work for hospice.”

We have immense gratitude for Jan, Louise, and all who have supported their fundraiser trip again this year.

A Perfect Face Day Spa Supported Coastal Hospice by hosting Annual “Pamper Yourself for Charity” Fundraiser. They raised a total of $6,140.00 and presented a check to Coastal Hospice for $3,507.00, this past November.

Carol Withers, Owner of A Perfect Face Day Spa and staff have arranged this special fundraiser, “Pamper Yourself for Charity” for 28 years — in honor of Carol’s mother, Elizabeth “Libby” Chaney, who passed away from breast cancer in 1995, while under the care of Coastal Hospice at home.

This year the proceeds go to two of her favorite organizations, Coastal Hospice — The Macky and Pam Stansell House and American Cancer Society.

Meredith Seafood Raffle

The Meredith Family made a generous donation with help from the community. A Seafood Raffle was held in October by Bill Meredith and his family in memory of his wife Joan Meredith, who was a patient of Coastal Hospice.

The Meredith family wants to thank Southern Connection in Crisfield, MD for donating the seafood for the raffle winner. All proceeds were donated to Coastal Hospice for Patient Charity Care.

We are thankful to the Meredith Family and the Eastern Shore community for their generosity.

Great friends, Pam and Macky Stansell were introduced to hospice when Pam’s mother, Jacque Donovan passed away prior to Libby. Pam and Macky became involved with Coastal Hospice after her passing, which led Macky to serve on the Coastal Hospice Board of Directors, becoming Board Chair, and major donor for the now Macky & Pam Stansell House, which opened its doors to the first patient in July 2019.

We want to thank Carol’s staff, customers, and the supportive community who made the fundraiser another huge success.

Coastal Hospice is appreciative for these donations. They allow us to continuing our mission to promote dignity and quality of life for patients and families facing life-limiting conditions.
