I thank God every day for MSCC and for taking such wonderful care of my father, John Edward "Punk" Smith, from his first day being admitted on 9/25/24. I live in Georgia, and due to unforseen circumstances, my father was admitted into MSCC. I wanted him to be visited, encouraged, and loved by his family, friends, neighbors, and church family, etc. that he has known his entire life. This has been the most heartbreaking ordeal, agonizing, hardest trial of my life, having to leave my father in the nursing home, while I travel back to Georgia. On top of this, I've battled spiritual warfare with certain family members and other negative people. I've experienced life-changing trials and persecutions. Thankfully, the nursing home staff has been aware of my situation and every week, they would keep me updated about my father, and if available, I would talk to my father by phone at one of the nurses stations. I pray every day for God to open a door for me to move home, to be there for my father. But until God answers my prayers, I have complete confidence in knowing that my father is in the best nursing home in Mississippi. Furthermore, right after my father's birthday this past June, I was referred to get Hospice by MSCC Social Worker Jo Ann Nix. I cannot believe how wonderful the Hospice group has been, they are amazing. From the very first day that Hospice began, my father has been blessed with the best and most professional nurses, social worker, and aides. Also a chaplain visits my dad, who is a full-time pastor of his own church. He visits and prays with my dad, as well as stays with him even after my dad falls asleep. They are absolutely phenomenal. I now hear from my father more often, depending on which Hospice staff is visiting him. They are all aware of how hard this is on me, being so far away from my dad, and my hands are tied. Just to hear my dad's voice puts my heart at ease, and I thank God and praise this Hospice staff every day. I get texts from his current nurse every week, sometimes twice just to keep me updated on my dad, and she takes pictures of my dad and sends those as well. When I see my dad smiling, walking around with his walker, and enjoying the fellowship with others, it just makes the world a better place. My dad looks healthier, and when I talk to him on the phone, I hear such happiness and contentment in his speech. This past Christmas Eve, the Hospice social worker called me while visiting with my dad, knowing how hard it's been on me being so far away from my dad and unable to be with him in person at Christmas. We all spoke together by speaker phone and this was the best Christmas gift I could ever receive! I thank everyone at MSCC and Enhabit Hospice, you all are the most precious and amazing people, protecting and giving my dad the best of care, with undeniable compassion, love, and respect in a safe and nurturing environment. God bless you all! Rachel Dunn.

Before I go into the details of my last visit with my father Oct 31-Nov 2, I want to explain my background. In the last 20+ years I worked for Medicare inspecting hospitals for compliance and also as Director of Quality and Risk Management for over 10 hospitals, responsible for their accreditation. It’s hard for me not to take a hard look at a facility when I visit. What my wife and I saw during our visit was nothing more than fantastic. We witnessed the care and compassion, given by the staff to the residents, was way more than what one would expect in this type of environment. They provide the residents with activities to do throughout the week. My father loves the food, well most of it anyway. While I hate that dad is in the facility, due to circumstances beyond his control, I’m glad the he is in the care of their staff.

My aunt has been here for several years and, for the most part, loves it and the staff. She is mentally sharp and the staff love to visit and chat with her. You can always find things wrong with anything, but we feel she is safe and loved. In pre-covid days, her sister visits often.

My dad was here first on hospice and had excellent care. Now my Uncle who is like a brother to me is there for rehab and wound care and he is also getting great care. In fact, I'm so impressed, I'm thinking of applying to work there myself. I believe in giving great care and I like to work with other people who feel the same. All places can have their problems if they need more staff. I have been pleasantly surprised at the employees here. They have really gone the distance to deliver great care. That is love in action. I appreciate them. No one likes to have to be in a nursing home, but the least we can do is give them the best care we can. .
