What is it Like to be a FairHoPe Patient-Care Volunteer?FairHoPe Hospice is known for giving extraordinary care. We do that through a team approach to caring for the patient. Aintegral part of the care team is the volunteer. In fact, I began my career at FairHoPe Hospice as a volunteer, as most of oadministrative staff has. Ive been a volunteer since March, 1997 and a paid employee since October of 2006. As a volunteer, Ihad approximately 125 patients. However, a FairHoPe volunteer always has the option to say no to a potential assignment

The primary purpose of the FairHoPe patient-care volunteer is to offer respite, or a rest, to the caregiver. Generally, t

volunteer will stay at the patients bed side while the caregiver runs errands, attends functions, or just takes a nap. FairHoputs a limit of 4 hours per volunteer visit. If more time is needed, a second volunteer comes in after 4 hours to relieve the volunteer. In one instance, we had a very young person on service staying for a few days at the Pickering House. Pairs volunteers maintained a steady through-the-night vigil at the little ones bedside so the mother could rest. Every two hours nevolunteers relieved the other volunteers.

FairHope provides care where the patient lives. Ive had patients in nice neighborhoods and not so nice ones. In old hometenements, beautiful homes out in the country with a weeping willow by a pond, nursing homes and assisted living facilities, rdown farm houses, apartments, and one patient in a camper in his backyard.

Following is a brief scenario, based on personal experience, of the complete start to nish of a volunteers involvement wa family:

Ill get a call from FairHoPes Volunteer Coordinator, Twylia Summers. Shell ask if Im ready for a new patient. Shell give mthe particulars as to their age, disease, whos the primary caregiver(PCG), where the patient lives, and a brief description of tfamily dynamics. I say, Yes, Ill accept them. (It is my choice to say yes or no). Twylia then gives me their phone number anwere off to the races. I immediately call the PCG and try to set up a 5 minute meeting in their home to introduce myself,

out their expectations and to set up a visiting schedule.The most apprehensive part of the whole experience is walking up to the residence for the rst time. There are so ma

unknowns as to what everyone looks like (particularly the patient), the appearance of the inside of the house, if there are petskeep doggy treats and cat treats in my truck), and if there are any medical smells in the house. I also wonder about the anxielevel of the primary caregiver, and what room the patient is in. Ive had patients with their hospital bed set up in bedrooms, livirooms, recreation rooms, unnished basements, in the garage with their street rod, in their wood shop, and in the kitchen.

During the rst visit, I try to evaluate who needs the most attention. Often, it is the primary caregiver. Generally during a visI spend time talking (re; listening) to the primary caregiver. They are at their wits end because of the end of life crisis of thloved one, while the patient many times is at peace with their situation. The volunteer is the only person on the FairHoPe teawho doesnt have an agenda or a specic purpose. Therefore, the volunteer is non-threatening and able to help the familywhatever capacity they request. The weekly visits continue for as long as the patient is on service. My involvement with a patiehas lasted from as short as one visit to as long as 15 months. (A patient may stay on FairHoPe service as long as they remaappropriate.)

It is extremely important to understand that the end stage of any disease may leave the patient thin and gaunt. This isn

beauty contest. The sole purpose of the volunteer is to give the peopleinvolved love and attention. The family members appearance,housekeeping habits, and anything else is just not important.

I am usually notied by the FairHoPe ofce of the patientspassing very soon after the event. Ive been present as the patientdied maybe ve of six times and in each instance it was expected.The dying process is generally very slow. Yes, those were emotional,very spiritual events and it was an honor to be there. Although manytimes the dying person wants to die alone and will wait until they arealone to die.

I always attend either the calling hours or the funeral service. Thereare usually photos on display or videos playing of the deceased,chronicling their life. It helps to look at the pictures because it helpsto put everything into perspective and to see the patient as everyone

else knew them. It is also important to the family for the volunteerto attend the service so that they can say thank you. At one ofthe calling hours, I was standing with my hands to my side. Thedeceaseds wife came up to me and held each of my hands, still tomy side, looked up at me and whispered, Thank You. I broke downand cried. Crying is a part of being involved with patients and theirfamilies. It shows that the people of FairHoPe Hospice do care anddo have feelings for the patient and family.

FairHoPe Hospice uses a team approach specializing in providingdying patients and their loved ones with comfort, compassion anddignity. And the heart of the team is the volunteer. I hope that Ihave helped to remove some of the mystery behind what FairHoPeHospices patient-care volunteer do. Through ordinary, everydaypeople we give extraordinary care.

And To The Victor....Mom Wins!Written by: Mary Roemer

(Story Continued from June 2013 Issue) Background from Part 1 of story:My mother was born in 1922 in Fairborn, Ohio, a suburb of Dayton. Mom aher only brother and ve sisters were placed in other family and friends hometo get through the Depression. Her father, took a permanent transfer from WrigPatterson Air Force Base to Hill Air Force Base in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Mother used her child-like entrepreneurial skills to sell borrowed owers oof afuent persons yards, several blocks away from the unmarried aunts hom

where she and her sister were living. The girls never complained about their nediverse living conditions with their great aunt, and enjoyed clip-clopping aroutown with their new shoes, called Anna Jetticks. When their aunt retired thebecause of holes in the soles, she gave them to Mom and her sister to wecomplete with cardboard as insoles.

The better part of their new lives each day was playing tennis. They were boself-taught, and, according to her sisters and brother, Mom became obsessed wplaying, competing and winning. Mom knew when she would nally get bahome, she would pursue her passion in a big way.

When returning home to their family that the girls so dearly loved, things hchanged...most dramatically, with the absence of their father. He found anothwoman in Utah, who had no children, and divorced Moms mother, and marri

this new woman.The continuance of the story gives credence to Moms perseverance and strengthroughout her life.

In 1938, Mom resumed her tennis playing, and this time, in a serious fashion. First she lead a mission, with ther siblings, to clear a badlittered and abandoned dirt lot in Fairborn that was between two old brick store fronts. She played on her new tennis court every frewaking moment. She perfected her powerful Chris Everett backhand and her stamina.

Mom then entered all of the local city competitions and established her reputation before entering sponsored professional tournamenShe surprised no one when she successfully won practically every singles and doubles competition she entered.

She was good, and her family said the news media conrmed that fact. They regularly covered her match results, accompanied wipictures. Mom was tall and leggy and very striking in her white boxer-leg short outts. She was the epitome of a perfect looking aperforming tennis player.

Mom continued playing seriously through her mid-twenties. She took a job at Wright Patterson during the day, doing ofce work. Hamiable personality was a compliment to this position, as well, and the quality of her work always won her praises, just as her tennplaying did. It was no coincidence that most championship matches were on Wright Patterson Field, quoting in one coverage as hbecoming the undisputed womens tennis champion of Patterson Field.

Her siblings said she dated many pilots and other high-up afliates of the Air Force Base, on a regular basis. She also became quitpopular commodity on the dance oor at the USO dances. She frequently won dance contests, and according to her family, was alwathe most requested dance partner on the oor. She was known, on a rst-name basis by all of the Big Band orchestra leaders, includiTommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller, who played all of her favorite music and requests. It should be no wonder that some of my mfavorite memories with Mom were dancing the jitterbug with her in the kitchen,and singing 1940s favorites.

Tragically, my mother died at the age of 56, as a result of a not so perfect or happysecond part of her life. Few ever knew of her extremely troubled marriage, simply

because she took on trying to survive in a very abusive relationship, just as shedid in her tennis matches. To her, it was just another challenge to conquer.

Ive heard for years, from those who knew her well, that I am so much like mymother, and I know that this is a blessing and compliment. Sadly, I never learnedto play tennis, but I was very competitive in all sports that I played in my youngeryears; and I certainly still take each day of my life as a challenge to conquer.

I still frequently laugh how I denitely inhered her entrepreneurial gene. As a veryyoung child, I put a card table at the end of your lane, and sold black walnuts, pawpaws, and little pumpkins. In addition, I did fumble to make change, only to hearmy customers say, Oh, its o.k. honey, you can keep the change! Although itmay be unusual for many to understand, I am so grateful to have been gifted themost wonderful legacy from Mom, the Victor, who taught me how to win.
