Vacation Healthcare Exists!

Legacy Wishes provides healthcare designed around the realities of being away from home: difficult room setups, different beds, unfamiliar bathrooms, longer days, changing routines, and the physical strain that can come with outings and special events. Support is available for individuals who want to travel with family, attend milestone gatherings, revisit meaningful places, or take a long-postponed trip.

Care is planned around the individual, with a client-specific agreement and an individualized plan of care so the correct level of support is in place—whether the need is primarily companionship, hands-on personal care, or nursing services.

What our Healthcare Travel Specialists (HTS) do:

Healthcare support through Legacy Wishes is built as a care team model to support the ability to travel. Depending on the client’s needs, services may be delivered by:

  • Nurse
  • Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)
  • Private Sitter/Caregiver

ALL specialists are available 24 hours a day! We have a strong sense of teamwork and can easily access and coordinate with other Legacy Wishes professionals. This flexibility helps match the level of care to the day-to-day realities of the trip and your preferences – slow mornings, fun outings, delicious meals, frequent rest breaks, and evenings spent together.

NURSING support: Making your dream trip possible!

We provide comfort-focused and medically supportive care throughout your vacation. Nursing services include individualized care planning and may support symptom needs so clients can relax and enjoy time with loved ones.

  • Advocacy & Consultant services available throughout the planning, traveling, and vacationing aspects of your trip.
  • Medication administration
  • Symptom management (pain/comfort)
  • Wound Care, Dressing changes
  • Specialty Care: Catheter, Trach, Feeding Tube, Oxygen, Foot/Nail

CNA services provide hands-on personal care for daily tasks throughout your vacation. CNA support can make outings and travel days far more manageable by providing steady assistance with daily routines and physical support. This is especially helpful when the environment changes, schedules are fuller, and tasks like bathing or dressing take more effort than they do at home.

  • Daily hygiene care (shower/bed bath, hair care, skin care, oral care)
  • Dressing assistance for comfort and the environment
  • Mobility and toileting support, including repositioning
  • Incontinence care
  • Support available during outings and meal times (helping clients stay included without feeling rushed or strained)

Private Sitters/Caregivers:

Not every trip requires nursing care—but many clients benefit from consistent companionship in an unfamiliar setting. A private sitter/caregiver provides a steady presence, helping clients feel safe and supported while family members attend activities, take breaks, or step out for a portion of the day. This service is intentionally simple and familiar—focused on comfort, conversation, and activities that feel like “home” while away.

  • Reading to client (Bible verses, magazine articles, or a book of the client’s choice)
  • Activities: Playing cards, assisting client with crossword or jigsaw puzzles
  • Watching TV or a movie with client
  • Playing music of client’s choice
  • Provide companionship during downtime, evenings, or while family is away

Why families choose Legacy Wishes, LLC:

Families often tell us that travel planning changes when a loved one needs care. Instead of excitement, it can bring worry, frustration, and a sense of dread: Will Dad fall getting into the shower? Who will manage medications? What happens if Mom gets exhausted halfway through an outing? These questions can shrink the trip before it even begins.

Our Healthcare Travel Specialists (HTS) help remove that pressure and anxiety. Clients can participate more fully and pace themselves—while loved ones are freed up to enjoy the experience alongside them.

Rooted in nursing experience and a purpose-driven mission:

Legacy Wishes was founded by A. “Dawn” Ayscue, BSN, RN, with 22 years of nursing experience across hospice, mental health, long-term care, corrections, management, and consulting. Business also has a long-held presence in her life as multiple family members own small businesses in rural areas of NC. As the eldest daughter, her Mom was always the caregiver for all of their family members, babies, and friends as she was growing up. This allowed Dawn to learn from the best! She expresses immense blessings in the ability to experience that learning, still today, with her Mom by her side!

The passion for service grew from a deeply personal goal: helping people with health limitations or mobility issues experience meaningful travel and shared time with loved ones—especially when families feel those opportunities slipping away.

The mission is clear: Make it possible for individuals to travel with dignity, comfort, and support—so fulfilled wishes become part of the legacy their families will carry forward to future generations.

A different kind of healthcare—built to travel:

Legacy Wishes is an niche option in healthcare because it’s designed around travel itself. Whether the plan is a weekend visit with family, a long-awaited vacation, or a special gathering, the service is structured to support clients with transportation planning if needed and throughout their stay with 24-hour care availability.

For families who want to keep saying “yes” to meaningful trips—without the stressors of the real care needs—Legacy Wishes provides a practical, compassionate way to fulfill travel dreams that may have previously seemed unattainable.
