Hospice care is an invaluable service to loved ones and their families. Hospice of Lake Cumberland is staffed with some of the most caring and knowledgeable individuals I've ever met who are all working for the common goal of making life for a loved one more comfortable and dignified. When my mother was in hospice care at the Jean Waddle Center, the staff didn't just tend to my mother, but also to us as a family. They allowed us to have the most precious time just concentrating on being a family with our loved one. It is one of the most important and needed nonprofit organizations in our community.
Be aware of making private donations to a "non profit" agency such as this. On the fiancials it is listed that the board of directors work from 2-4 hours pre week. Please ask yourself how much they are paid to be a board member. And the salary listed for the executive director. Also remember that only those who make over $100.000 a year is required to be listed. Sometimes non profit is absolutely profit depending on who is making the profit form a organization such as this. Also it was my experience with this Hospice that there is no patient fund to help purchase items needed for patienst. I do succeed that a organization such as this is a neccesssity for many however be very casusious when donating money that you specifically earmark what you wish your donatiopn to be used for. it may go to increase a already over paid director's salary.
