If you are in need of hospice care or are wondering what hospice care is or who hospice care is for, our knowledgable and caring staff are ready to answer any questions you may have.
This is one of the many reasons why we do what we do at Solace Hospice.
"When most people think about hospice they tend to just think about the end and dying, but it is so much more than that. It's the precious time that they have left and being able to make that person's day a little bit better. Being a friend, making them laugh, helping them through what they would think are embarrassing moments, and doing so in which they still have a sense of dignity. And the most fulfilling part of hospice, is when those "strangers" become people you love and will always remember, and when they in turn say "I love you" and/or "I'm so thankful for you".

CNA
Solace Hospice
Name- Krystina Skipper
Title- Certified Nursing Assistant
I have been a CNA for 6 years and been a part of the Solace Hospice team for over a year now. I spend my days travelling all over Toombs County and surrounding counties, visiting patients in their home, and in skilled and assisted nursing facilities.
I attended school in Swainsboro from Elementary through High School. I had my daughter Elaina, when I was 19 and was fortunate to be able to be a stay at home mom. I later went back to school and received my certificate as a certified nurse aide.
When I'm not working I spend my time with family, cooking, remodeling our home, decorating, DIY projects, and working in my flower beds. Michael and I have 3 children, and one of my most favorite things is when the day has settled down we eat dinner together and afterwards, unwind watching a movie.
One of my favorite places to travel is to Jekyll Island. Not only do we enjoy the beach, but we like to ride bicycles around the island, play mini golf, and search for shark teeth.
My favorite food is hard because I love food! And I love to cook! But I guess I'd have to say Mexican, because, for the life of me I can't make my dishes taste authentic, and it's a treat when we go out to the restaurant!
I was born and raised in Georgia, but did spend a few years of my childhood in Arkansas, where my father's family was from.
When I retire I hope to be able to travel and go visit and see the world! But mostly I look forward to watching my children grow and their babies grow up and I hope to be that "Grandma's house" where everyone loves to come home to and gather for Sunday dinners and holidays.
Have I been impacted by hospice? Absolutely!
It didn't really hit me until I walked into Auto Zone one day, and one of the associates saw me and said " Oh my God. My favorite person!". I was a little confused at first, but then she said " You took care of my Grandma" and I realized who she was, and in that moment I realized how honored I was !
