Growing up in St. Petersburg, Florida, Octavia Jones Samba got her first taste of serving seniors working at a skilled nursing community after school. She tells us how she helped a 90 year old patient when others didn’t know how to help. As a teenager, Octavia was already hooked on seniors! She went to nursing school in Florida, and came to Atlanta in 1983. Octavia first started working in hospice in 2005. After a brief time away from hospice, she was drawn back by Agape Hospice a little over a year ago when Agape served a member of her family. Today, Octavia is the Director of Business Development for Agape Hospice. She tells us that Agape’s difference is in their personal touch. Agape Hospice can be reached at (404) 763-1456. Chances are, however, Octavia will be in the field, so reach her on her mobile phone at (678) 557 7205. For the more technically inclined, she can be reached via email at jonesoctavia@bellsouth.net.
