I attended the Keech Hospice Care Compassionate Neighbours workshop, an engaging reflection of what we can further do to support one another. ⚫ Being a compassionate neighbour for Keech Hospice Care means offering support, kindness, and understanding to those facing life-limiting illnesses. ⚫ It involves small acts of kindness, offering a listening ear, or assisting with daily tasks small things that we may take for granted however make a massive impact! ⚫ Showing empathy and presence can provide comfort and alleviate feelings of isolation for patients and their loved ones which can be a common factor. Ultimately creating a caring environment, contributing to a network of support that goes beyond the hospice encouraging a true spirit of community care.

For me, volunteering for Alzheimer’s advocacy and fundraising is deeply personal. Having lost my mother, grandmothers, and my godmother to the disease, I’ve witnessed firsthand the devastating impact it has on families. The journey of caregiving was challenging, filled with moments of sadness, frustration, and love. It was during this time that I realized the urgent need for support and research to combat this debilitating disease. On Thursday, April 25 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, I will join the Alzheimer's Association Louisiana Chapter, the Alzheimer's Impact Movement (AIM) and fellow advocates from across the state to meet with policymakers to share their stories and advance policies to improve the lives of Louisianans impacted by Alzheimer’s and other dementia. Alzheimer’s and other dementia have a growing impact on state health systems, budgets, and workforces. By 2025, the number of Louisiana adults age 65 and older with Alzheimer’s is projected to increase by 110,000. In 2023, Alzheimer’s and other dementias cost American taxpayers an estimated $345 billion, and the cost is projected to rise to nearly $1 trillion by 2050. Louisiana also has 200,000 caregivers that provide over 363 million hours of unpaid care.

Something I feel very strongly about is volunteering in hospice centers. The patients in this area of healthcare are majorly neglected when it comes to volunteer services. However, there are a lot of benefits to partaking in this. There are personal benefits, as well as benefits to the hospice patients, their families, and hospice staff. For one, your experience volunteering will expose you to the hardships of healthcare, but also give you a different perspective of life. For me, when I visit and am talking with patients, it makes me feel a different type of gratefulness for life. I look at it as my privilege to be there. As well, it gives happiness to the families who are experiencing hardships. Making even this little of a difference can be a big deal. Additionally, although some hospice patients are unaware of where they are, there are actually many that are aware. With these patients, giving them happiness and showing them that you enjoy their company will bring their spirits up, and aid in potentially improving the psychological impact they experience being in a hospice environment. As someone entering the healthcare field, I will continue to advocate for hospice patients to be thought of more. No matter what timeline in life someone is at, they deserve the same respect, compassion, and thought. #voluneering #hospice #respect #volunteer #compassion #gratefulness #advocation #callforaction #healthcare #medicine

Hospice teams meet their patients at different points into their disease process and with a variety of needs - physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually. We listen to their concerns, their fears, their wishes and especially their goals acknowledging that we are filled with life until the very end.
