No layoffs at Parkdale Parkdale Mills plans no layoffs at its present facility in Kings Mountain, a company spokesman said this week. The release from the parent company in Gastonia reads: “Parkdale has enjoyed
dynamic growth since the company began in 1916. This growth is largely due to reinvestment of capital by purchasing the latest stateof-the-art manufacturing equipment. Unfortunately, the Kings Mountain facility is not large enough for new investment; therefore, Parkdale has made the decision to move this capacity to other locations. “ Our Kings Mountain location has a very talented and dedicated work force and all See NO LAYOFFS, Page 7A
the fire services in District 10 is done by volunteers. “Fire service is such an important institution, not just for Oak Grove but across the country,'' said McHenry. He said he came from Washington, DC to the county to say thank you in person to the firemen. “We want to bring attention to the work firemen do to keep us safe,'' he added.
Chris Frishmuth has been in training for the Over the Mountain Triathlon and planned to race in the 2016 event, which has been canceled. He wrote this “open letter to Mayor Scott Neisler and City Council” which follows: ''It was with great disappointment that I read the news that the City of Kings Mountain has decided not to host the Over the Mountain Triathlon in 2016. ''It was last year, during the 2015 Over the Mountain, that I was sitting in the McDonald's drivethrough, when the athletes on their bikes went zipping by. I looked at the breakfast sandwich in my hands, and then at those men and women pumping those pedals, and it was then I decided I'd turn the corner, concentrate on my fitness and weight loss, and participate in a future Over the Mountain. “In late 2015, after a summer of rigorous training, I participated in my
Kings Mountain resident Chris Frishmuth says he is a novice athlete but he was ready to swim, bike and run in the 2016 Over the Mountain Triathlon. first triathlon, the Buckner Mission Man triathlon in Burlington, NC - a shorter sprint-distance triathlon, but excellent introductory event for the novice triathlete. I finished the 750m swim, 15 mile bike, and 5K run in a bit less than average time, in third place for my beginner age group - and it stands as one of the greatest accomplishments in my life. ''I was intending, as a Kings Mountain resident, to participate in the longer (Olympic distance) Over
the Mountain this year as my next step. It felt like a "home" event, in our backyard, that wasn't just for participants, but to serve as inspiration for the spectators, event volunteers, and businesses alike. I realize the decision was an economic one, but the financial benefits of motivating people toward a healthy lifestyle pays dividends for years beyond the initial glance at the expense/ income columns.

SWITCHYARD PROJECT - These two photographs show the four acre area where the Duke Energy electrical switchyard will be built southeast of the actual NTE Generation plant off Dixon School Road. NTE is working to get the switchyard graded so that Duke Energy can begin to build the new switchyardt simultaneously with the plant to insure completion. The switchyard is the component that serves as the electrical link between the NTE Generation Plant and the 230,000 volt transmission grid. You can see in the photos the tremendous amount of dirt being moved in an effort to build a flat area that will become the electric switchyard. The actual switchyard size will be about four acres with elaborate draining to meet all needed requirements. The area that the plastic is covering is the actual switchyard area, the dirt around the area is what was removed to complete the grading process. These photographs supplied by City of KM Energy Director Nick Hendricks and really indicate just how large the area is.

City Council sets public hearing on NTE request, $1.5M renovation, okays zoning requests from Margrace residents upfitting planned Public hearing on NTE Energy's request for an industrial incentive grant will be held by city council Feb. 23 at 6 p.m. at the board's regular meeting at city hall. The grant would not exceed the amount of city property tax the new industry would pay until such time as they are in production. The grant would be distributed over a three year period and would include the current fiscal year for which the county has done a discovery tax bill. Justification for an industrial incentive grant includes the temporary construction employment, the permanent employment and amount of taxable investment. Three property owners in the same neighborhood on Margrace Road asking that their properties be rezoned from Residential R-10 to R-20 to conditional use received the green light from council who voted 5-2 for the rezoning. Voting against the rezoning were Councilmen Rodney Gordon and Curtis Pressley. Antonio Roberts, representing his mother, objected to the rezoning of the Curtis McCree property, 1046 Margrace Road, fearing, he said, that the Roberts brick residence would be devalued by the placement of a manufactured home nearby. Kings Mountain Planning & Board members at its recent meeting split on the question and the majority voted to not recommend changing the zoning and issuance of a conditional permit. A minority supported
the rezoning request. The three applicants requested a change in zoning from R-10 to R-20 and a conditional use permit with conditions that eliminates mobile home parks and a site plan that allows for only one Class A Manufactured home. Bona-fide farm uses would be excluded from zoning regulations in the ETJ per fairly recently adopted State General Statutes. Planning Director Steve Killian told the board he reviewed the application and findings of fact and recommended approval because the application created a prima facie case and no contradictory evidence was presented, the proposed zoning classification R-20 had much in common with the adjoining Cleveland County Zoning Jurisdiction and in similar cases the city had approved such request to adopt a zone more in line with the county's zoning district. Other property owners asking and securing rezoning were Jemyranee Weaver, 1044 Margrace Road, and Michael Vance, 1042 Margrace Road. During the business session, council also okayed a consent agenda which included the following: +reappointed David Faunce to the ABC board with term expiring Jan. 3, 2019. +adopted Omega Drive from Second Street to the dead end as a city street and take over maintenance of said street for Powell Bill reimbursement. +adopted a wrecker ser-
vice policy for the City of Kings Mountain. It specifies that wrecker services located in the city or within the two mile extra territorial jurisdiction make applications to the Police Department, must have insurance and the facility at which a vehicle might be towed maintain at least some minimum requirements for the protection of the owners of the property being stored. +authorized the purchase of 1.18 acres of property in the amount of $90,000, five annual level payments of $18,000 with no interest liability. This 51,801 square foot tract is the adjoining property at Patriots Park to be used to expand the design concept of the park. Uses for the land include parking, trails and event space, the latter which would complement the amphitheater in the middle and the shade grove on the Cansler Street side. The property was purchased from Faunce Realty, Inc. +appointed Mayor Scott Neisler and councilman Keith Miller, alternate, to the Gaston, Cleveland, Lincolnton Metropolitan Organization's Technical Advisory Committee. +approved budget amendment to appropriate Tourism Development Authority grant monies awarded to the city in the amount of $35,365 for special events. Earlier in the year, council budgeted $28,000 for Triathlon expenses, up from $20,000; July 4th expenses, $40,000, up from $25,000; Beach Blast expenses $24,000,
up from $15,000; Gateway Festival, $20,765, up from $15,000; Library, $20,600, up from $20,000; and Fire Museum, $5,000 for a total of $38,365.00. +approved budget amendment to move current year's restricted fire museum funds to current year's fire department budget for expenditures in the amount of $19,836.47. +approved budget amendment for funds to be used to upgrade finance's imaging system from funds received from Vista rebate in the amount of $22,000. +approved amendment to the contract for audit services for City of Kings Mountain and KM Tourism Development Authority originally entered into with Martin Starnes & Associates due to audit being submitted after Dec. 31, 2015.

■ MEDITATION
IMPACT 2016 The Carolina Panthers are going to Super Bowl 50! Isn’t that great news, Panther nation? I woke up this morning and thought surely the world must be as excited Jeff Wilson as I am about this Pastor news. One would Kings Mountain think that a 17-1 Church of the Nazarene record plus a trip to the Super Bowl must warrant some attention and finally quiet the critics. If reading through the USA Today newspaper is any indication, I was apparently wrong. The cover reads Super Bowl 50: Broncos vs. Panthers and unfor-
tunately, that is all the mention of the Panthers you get. Of the four articles that talked about the previous day’s games or the upcoming Super Bowl, the Panthers were only mentioned in half of the shortest article. Obviously, we had to be mentioned because we were one of only four teams that even played the day before, but seriously, half of one article is all we get? As frustrated as I get as a Panthers fan that the national news refused to recognize our superlatives, pick up a copy of the Charlotte Observer and you will see a different result. Locally, the Panthers are hometown heroes and deservedly so. Our community knows who this team is on and off the field, and we
(Part 4)
certainly recognize the IMPACT they have had on our lives. One day, the rest of the sports world will recognize, but for today, I am proud to be a Panther fan that calls the Carolinas home. “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8, NIV) As the book of Acts instructs, when our lives are IMPACTED by God (through the Holy Spirit), then we will have an IMPACT on others. We have learned what this looks like over the past several weeks from the #IMPACT2016 series by Jeff Johnson and myself. First, and most
importantly, God must IMPACT our individual lives and we, in turn, are used by God to IMPACT our family, our church and our community. The early church knew that one day the entire world would know the IMPACT of God, but for them it had to start somewhere, and that was closer to home (Jerusalem and Judea). This 2016, I pray that your IMPACT for God stretches around the globe, but if it doesn’t—do not get discouraged. Try to start your 2016 with an IMPACT right here in Kings Mountain. In the world’s eyes maybe how God is using you does not make the front page of the USA Today, but here in Kings Mountain you are appreciated. God bless you, #IMPACT2016.

Col. Frederick Hambright Chapter Celebrates 100th Anniversary Year Members of the Colonel Frederick Hambright Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution gathered on Tuesday, January 26th for their monthly meeting at Central United Methodist Church. But, this gathering was unlike most regular meetings because they are preparing for the Centennial Anniversary of their DAR Chapter in December 2016. Members scoured old Scrapbooks and Minutes to learn more about the Chapter’s accomplishments over the last 100 years. On December 27, 1916, fifteen women gathered in the home of Mrs. C.E. (Ida Pauline Mauney) Neisler (now known as the White House) to form the Kings Mountain DAR Chapter with the mission of promote patriotism, preserve American history, and support better education for our nation’s children. These remain the foundation of the organization today. The Charter Members of the Col. Frederick Hambright Chapter were: Mollie Weir Campbell, Daisy Carpenter, Sarah Baker Fulton, Edith Sallie Hambright, Mamie C. Hambright, Mary Gardner Hay, Mary S. Porter Hay, Lula Carpenter Herndon, Sarah Jane Huffman, Lula Herndon, Logan, Ida Pauline Mauney Neisler, Katie Cassel Provence, Laura Mauney Ridenhour, Willie Simmons Webb, and Annie Jenkins Rankin Welch. Many of these names remain common in our community today and descendants of these women are eligible for membership in the DAR. Since the Chapter’s formation, members have done good work promoting historic preservation, education and patriotism in the community. Throughout 2016, the Chapter will share these stories with the community. Luckily, Chapter Minutes and Scrapbooks were kept. Those items, along with info from The Herald Archives, will be used to share the story of the Col. Frederick Hambright Chapters’ first century of service. Two documents found during the meeting were the Chapter’s Minutes Book, which contains the first years of business, along with a History of the Chapter. Inside the cover of the History, Bonnie Mauney shared the following poem written in 1916:
Colonel Hambright’s Minutes Book and History
Kings Mountain Tho’ its summit now is lonely, And those battle cries are still;Yet the story that it brings us,Even will our hearts enthrill. On its heights now bleak and somber Once was heard the noise of war Such a mighty sound it wakened That ‘twill live forevermore. Here our Patriots met the Red Coats Stationed proudly on its crown They had made their boast so mighty Not e’en God could bring them down But the Patriots, brave and motley Had their hearts most firmly steeled They were fighting for their freedom Naught but death could make them yield. Led by Campbell, Shelby, Cleveland,Lacy, Hambright, and Sevier Round the mountainside they circled And before their face appear. There they mounted high its summit Not with flag and emblems bright Nothing but a sprig of hemlock, Marked them brothers in the fight. Soon there waved a pure white banner Was it Victory, Mountaineers? Yes, the British had surrendered Listen, now the Patriots cheer. To the heroes of Kings Mountain Let the grateful homage pay Here they turned the tide of battle So that freedom now holds sway. Bonnie E. Mauney - 1916 The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890. Its members are descended from patriots who won American independence during the Revolutionary War. Acceptable service includes military, civil, and patriotic service. With 178,000 members in approximately 3,000 chapters worldwide, DAR is one of the world’s largest and most active service organizations. During the last 125 years, nearly 1 million women have been members of the DAR. To learn more about the work of today’s DAR, visit www.DAR. org. DAR members come from diverse backgrounds and have a variety of interests. Their common bond is their lineal descent from patriots of the American Revolution – any woman, regardless of race, religion or ethnic background, who can prove this lineage is eligible to join.

STACK: honored as ‘bridge builder’ From Page 1A things such as the King's Feast held during the drama weeks, the Home for Christmas brochure, as well as event promotions at each of the partner agencies which included KM Historical Museum, City of Kings Mountain, Main Street Program, Mauney Memorial Library, Planning and Economic Development, Special Events, Southern Arts Society Inc., Kings Mountain Little Theatre, Cleveland County Chamber, Cleveland County Travel and Tourism and KM Gateway Trail. Museum Director Adria L. Focht, who made the nomination, said Sharon's work has driven visitation to the area and benefited the local economy and quality of life for residents and visitors alike. “Through the Community Partners committee
work, each of our businesses thrived and we improved our operations and ability to serve the community as a whole,'' said Focht. She added, “This extremely beneficial committee was the brainchild of Sharon Stack and would not have come to be or continued to success without her dedication. Her leadership of this committee is just one example of the profound impact this individual has had on the community.” The Bridge Builder award is awarded to a Chamber member, who through significant, civic, business, and/or social contributions, has been constructive in uniting the community of Cleveland County. In Kings Mountain “Stack served on the Mountaineer Partnership board for five years and on the Main Street board as the
organization chair for three years. The Community Partners Committee meets regularly to collectively support the agencies' activities, with preplanning and coordination. They strategize on an ongoing basis how to best promote the community as a destination for local and out-of-town visitors, to ultimately drive visitation and economic development throughout the region. “Sharon Stack is a model of civic engagement in the Cleveland County Community and serves the citizens of our region in many ways, yet it is her enduring commitment to serving the community beyond the purview of her job for which she deserves the award,'' Focht wrote in her nomination and read by Hawkins in presenting the engraved award.

council and community to work together. He mentioned specificially the abrupt cancellation of the Over the Mountain Triathlon scheduled for the 16th year in May. “This was done without any citizen knowing about it, we must work together,'' he said. Lawing said he knew of a girl training to run in the event. Lawing said after the meeting, “People are training for it now and why not have the event this year and then wait to cancel in 2017 if council feels it is unsuccessful.” Events Director Haley Wilson told the board that the event was canceled due to low athlete participation, low visitor attendance and higher expenses over the last few years. “We want to try some new ideas,'' she
said, working with the Gateway Trails and YMCA on a bike race for June. Wilson said that Triathlons are popping up all over and more people are participating in more localized events. She also talked to Mr. Lawing about new ideas for events after council recessed to go into executive session to confer with the attorney about a legal matter. No comments came from council. Forcade and Whitney asked council to take a stand on the casino issue. '' Do you have the courage to do what's right tonight? Which of you has enough courage to lead the way, all we need is for one of you to advance a motion for a resolution against a casino as the first step. The only remaining requirement would be for three additional members
of the council to vote in the affirmative. So quick and simple and all of you could move on to other matters with our everlasting thanks as a community,'' said Forcade. Forcade continued, “I think it's obvious to all of you that objection to a proposed casino has reached further in the community than anyone would have ever thought. I think it is also obvious, especially when you consider the recent election results, that the community as a whole is not in support. Our group has continued to grow and gather influence with every passing week, we continue to pick up new members and supporters and I don't look for that to dwindle. We haven't gone anywhere, nor are we going to until this issue has been resolved.”

District Executive Mike Hovis brought Cleveland County and Piedmont Council Highlights as a feature of the banquet attended by Scouts and Scouters from Battleground District and Piedmont Council. Hovis said that 735 youth participate in the Scouting program in addition to 301 adult volunteers, a 8.3% increase over last year. He said 38 Scout units were chartered to sponsoring commu-

Thirty Boy Scouts earned the coveted Eagle award. Twenty-three Boy Scouts earned the Arrow of Light. A total of 171 Boy Scouts attended Camp Bud Schiele this summer and five Boy Scouts attended NYLT. Eighty-seven Cub Scouts attended council Cub Scout camping events.
Hovis said that 6,533 hours of community service were performed by boys seeking the rank advancements and units doing a good turn. That is an average of 9.95 hours per boy. A total of 21, 494 pounds of food were collected by Scouts through the Scouting for Food good turn project and distributed to local food agencies and churches in Cleveland County. Key participants who helped as Cub volunteers, Boy Scout volunteers, helped with School Nights

History of Catawba Indians H. Lawrence Patrick Senior Life & Conference Center Feb. activities program topic at Feb. 14 meeting of Genealogy group Archivist Brent Burgin will display his collection of Catawba pottery and make a presentation on the Catawba Indians at the Feb. 14 program of the Broad River Genealogical Society at 3 p.m. at the Neal Senior Center, 100 T.R. Harris Drive in Shelby. Burgin will tell the story of the local Indians who lived along the Catawba River when the Europeans settled this area. The Catawba Indians lived along the banks of the Catawba River in North and South Carolina before the white settlers arrived in the 18th Century. They lived a rich family and community centered life, but they were also known as fierce warriors. Eventually they shared their knowledge with the English settlers until much of their lands were taken over by the settlers. During the Removal Period when many tribes were being moved west the tribe and South Carolina negotiated
the Treaty at Nations Ford which gave the tribe a new tract of land in a less populated area and paid the Catawbas money instead of removal. Archivist Burgin has been working with noted Catawba scholar Thomas Blumer and local Native American communities to acquire and build the Native American Studies Collection. Much of the information in the archive is unavailable, unique and has never seen by anyone. Members and guests and all ages are encouraged to attend. Park at the back of the building and enjoy light refreshments after the program. Over 50 members and visitors attended the January presentation by Robert Brown who explained the Battle of Cowpens and its importance in our fight for independence. Many of our ancestors were fighting at this important battle less than 40 miles from Shelby. New members are in-
vited and new member dues and membership renewals will be received at the regular meeting. Membership includes four booklets during the year on local history and genealogical information on families that lived or live in the family. The Broad River Genealogical Library is located at 1145 County Home Road in Shelby across from Putnam Memorial Baptist Church.

Mountaineers declaw Wildcats, KM ladies beaten in final second Kings Mountain High’s varsity basketball teams split with Draughn in a SMAC doubleheader Wednesday night at Donald L. Parker Gymnasium. The Lady Mountaineers lost 62-60 when Draughn’s Shaedyn Housh hit two free throws with 0.02 second left on the clock. The KM boys took an early lead and never trailed in turning back the Wildcats 68-49. Freshman point guard Hannah Clark scored five unanswered points during a 50-second span late in the fourth quarter to put the Lady Mountaineers up 55-50 with 2:41 remaining. But the Wildcats an-
swered with six straight points to take a 56-55 lead with two minutes left. The teams traded leads three times before Clark hit the first of two free throws to tie the game at 60-all with 13.6 seconds remaining. Draughn held for the last shot and missed it, but in a scramble for the loose ball Housh was fouled and calmly sank the winning points. Courtney Robinson led the Lady Wildcats with 22 points. Housh added 13 and Abi Norris 10. KM’s Clark led all scorers with 24 points. Kelsey Farmer added 10. See KM/DRAUGHN, Page 2B

Short stay at the top ends with loss to Crest into a home game last night with RS Central, a team the Mountaineers lost to earlier in the season in Rutherfordton. The game was close throughout with the Chargers sealing it at the foul line late in the fourth quarter. After a 16-16 tie at the end of the first quarter, the Chargers moved out front 36-33 at the half and 58-56 after three stanzas. Cavious Hamilton led the Chargers with a gamehigh 29 points, and he went
4-for-4 at the foul line in the closing minute to ice the game. Omar Petty led the Mountaineers with 16 points. Demetrius Hill scored 15, Dante Starr 14 and Jacob Skidmore and Josh Helton 13 each. Kings Mountain’s girls rebounded from a loss in the final second to Draughn on Tuesday to defeat the Lady Chargers 71-50. The Lady Mountaineers, who improved to 7-5 in the SMAC, broke the game open in the second half after
leading by only 34-29 at intermission. Led by senior Miranda Ellis, who had her best game of the year with a game-high 22 points, the Lady Mountaineers went on a 15-0 run to open the third quarter.

Draughn came back to lead 32-31 at the half and 38-31 going into the fourth period. Kings Mountain’s boys never trailed in the nightcap in a game that wasn’t as close as the final score indicated.

Kings Mountain Touchdown Club Needs Your Help!
We are kicking off Phase II of the Kings Mountain Touchdown Club Building project! This is a much needed project at Kings Mountain High School. Our current facilities are outdated and are in dire need of replacement. Many of the ladies will not use the facilities because of the conditions. The concession stand is also outdated, and we are not permitted to prepare our own food. We are excited to announce that The Kings Mountain Touchdown Club has received the blueprints and final permission to begin construction on new restroom facilities and a new concession stand. The facility will be 1,770 square feet with 8 women’s stalls, 7 men’s stalls, and a concession stand located in the middle. This new concession stand will also have outside cooking facilities to grill the food and prepare French fries. Located between the baseball field and the far end of the football field, the building and restrooms will be used for football, baseball, soccer, track, middle school and graduation events. Bank of the Ozarks will be providing the funding to assist us in the project. The approximate cost is $265,000.00. Trent Hagans of Hagans Construction Group has agreed to be the contractor for this project. The KMTD Club appreciates all of the assistance given by the citizens of Kings Mountain. The Field House became a reality because of the community support. We hope that you will again join us to make KMHS a better place for our students, athletes, and supporters. We are asking for a 2 year pledge beginning in January 2016. For your convenience, we have attached a pledge form. Please fill this out as we are required by Bank of the Ozarks to provide the pledge commitments. We will need approximately $65,000.00 on deposit before we can begin construction. There is a recognition board in the new Field House where all contributors over $100.00 are displayed. All gifts are tax deductible as we are a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. We hope that you will join us in this new project moving forward! Sincerely, David C. Brinkley

We have a lot of highlights to share: • Congratulations to our students who earned recognition on the A or A/B honor roll for the second nine weeks! • Fifth grader, Brandon Hamilton, was named Cleveland County Schools’ Do the Right Thing Award winner. He was treated to lunch at Fatz complete with a ride in a police car. Brandon is the second winner from Washington this year! • We had a great turnout for our annual PTO Christmas program! • Our 5th grade students completed the DARE program with their graduation in November. Thanks to Deputy Brooks and the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Department for their support. • Title I hosted Family Game Night in November, we appreciate all of the families who were able to come out, learn more about reading strategies, and enjoy games with their children. • Third grade and Title I hosted Read to Achieve Night providing parents an opportunity to hear more
about state accountability requirements. Thanks to Rev Clark and Washington Missionary Baptist Church for cooking and serving the meal that evening. • Thanks to the Cleveland County Arts Council for sponsoring field trip experiences for all of our K-5 students. Students had the opportunities to hear symphonies and see plays this fall. • Burns High continues to partner with Washington as Air Force Junior ROTC cadets work with classes every other week and the Math Club periodically sends volunteers to work with students. We appreciate their support. • Monthly community service projects: For November, our fourth graders made placemats for Hospice and for December, our Kindergarten students visited Somerset Court in Cherryville to sing Christmas carols with residents. Our second graders collected stuffed animals for local fire departments for the month of January. • AIG students and teaching assistants sponsored a supply drive for the Hospice House during the month of December. • Three teachers attended the North Caro-
lina Math Conference and presented strategies they learned to the faculty members. • Our teachers who attended the PLC Institute in Charlotte formally rolled out our plan to continue to build capacity for Professional Learning Communities. Spotlight on a teacher: • Mrs. Milly McMillan is a second grade teacher. This is her twelfth year in education. Students describe Mrs. McMillan as “patient, kind, nice, good at math, a great teacher, someone who pushes us to reach our goals.” Spotlight on a teaching assistant: • Mrs. Phyllis Ramsey is a first grade teaching assistant and bus driver. While she works primarily with first grade, she also works with small groups of students with a focus on reading instruction. Mrs. Ramsey is always willing to help however and wherever needed. Thank you to students, faculty, parents and community members for a great second quarter!

Choosing a Hospice Care Program Dear Savvy Senior, Can you offer any information on hospice care, how to choose a good provider, and whether Medicare covers it? My grandmother has terminal cancer and wants to die at home, if possible. Grieving Granddaughter Dear Grieving, Hospice can be a wonderful option in the last months of life because it offers a variety of services, not only to those who are dying, but also to those left behind. Here’s what you should know. What Hospice Offers Hospice care is a unique service that provides medical care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual support to people who are in the last stages of a terminal illness – it does not speed up or slow down the process of dying. Hospice’s goal is to simply keep the patient as comfortable and pain-free as possible, with loved ones nearby until death. The various services provided by a hospice program comes from a team of professionals that works together to accommodate all the patients’ end-of-life needs.
The team typically includes hospice doctors that will work with the primary physician and family members to draft up a care plan; nurses who dispense medication for pain control; home care aids that attend to personal needs like eating and bathing; social workers who help the patient and the family prepare for end of life; clergy members who provide spiritual counseling, if desired; and volunteers that fill a variety of niches, from sitting with the patient to helping clean and maintain their property. Some hospices even offer massage or music therapy, and nearly all provide bereavement services for relatives and short-term inpatient respite care to give family caregivers a break. Most hospice patients receive care in their own home. However, hospice will go wherever the patient is – hospital, nursing home or assisted living residence. Some even have their own facility to use as an option. To receive hospice, your grandmother must get a referral from her physician stating that their life expectancy is six months or less.
It’s also important to know that homebased hospice care does not mean that a hospice nurse or volunteer is in the home 24 hours a day. Services are based on need and/or what you request. Hospice care can also be stopped at anytime if your grandmother’s health improves or if she decides to re-enter cure-oriented treatments. How to Choose The best time to prepare for hospice and consider your options is before it’s necessary, so you’re not making decisions during a stressful time. There are more than 5,500 hospice programs in the U.S., so depending on where you live, you may have several options from which to choose. To locate a good hospice in your area, ask your grandmother’s doctor or the discharge planner at your local hospital for a referral, call your state hospice organization (see hospicefoundation.org/hospice-directory for contact information), or search online at sites like the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization at nhpco.org. When choosing, look for an established hospice that has been operating for a few
years and one that is certified by Medicare. To help you select one, the American Hospice Foundation provides a list of questions to ask at 16HospiceQuestions. us. Who Pays Medicare covers all aspects of hospice care and services for its beneficiaries. There is no deductible for hospice services although there may be a very small co-payment – such as $5 for each prescription drug for pain and symptom control, or a 5 percent share for inpatient respite care. Medicaid also covers hospice in most states, as do most private health insurance plans. For more information, see the “Medicare Hospice Benefits” online booklet at medicare.gov/pubs/pdf/02154.pdf. And if you have financial questions or concerns, talk to your hospice provider. Most hospices offer financial assistance to help families in need. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.
