Home health care can be a lifeline for people recovering from illness or injury or managing chronic conditions. It helps patients stay safe and independent at home, with support from skilled professionals. Many don’t realize it’s fully covered by Medicare for those who qualify.

Heart failure is one of the leading causes of hospitalization for older adults and it rarely presents alone — most people with heart failure have at least one other significant cardiovascular condition. Without the right support, living independently becomes a challenge and many end up back in the hospital.

Our evidence-based Heart Failure Empowerment Program helps patients manage symptoms at home with a personalized care plan, interdisciplinary support and close coordination with physicians. Learn more: https://hubs.li/Q03QDJmH0

At Amedisys, we pride ourselves on industry-leading quality of care. This National Healthcare Quality Week, we’re celebrating the measurable impact of our commitment to excellence in both hospice and home health.

In hospice, Amedisys outperforms national CMS averages on all 7 HIS quality measures, and our Hospice Care Index score of 9.7 exceeds the national average of 8.8. And our Code Green protocol ensures patients receive compassionate, timely care, far surpassing national benchmarks for end-of-life visits.

In home health, Amedisys averages 4.2 stars out of 5 for quality of patient care, well above the national average of 3.24 stars. This rating reflects how often our patients improve in key areas like walking, breathing and medication management, and how consistently we deliver timely, effective care.

We’re proud of our clinicians and care teams who make these outcomes possible every day, in every home. Learn more about our quality commitment at: https://hubs.li/Q03PqhnW0

What brought you to hospice? " I was searching for more meaning in my life. I knew that I wanted to find a profession that would enrich my life. I wanted a career that would provide the opportunity to be an instrument of comfort. During my 15 years with the company, I have been rewarded in so many ways. To work in hospice is a calling. I am so blessed to have witnessed the positive effect of compassionate care and being a support system for my patients and their families. The memories of these moments carry me forward and keep my heart full of love. "

What brought you to hospice? " I was approached with a job opportunity while at my daughter's field day. Once I started seeing patients it was a totally different feeling. I was nervous of working with end of life care but immediately felt a sense of peace. i had only experienced hospice with my grandfather for a brief time. Since working with hospice I have had both my grandmother and father on hospice care both which have passed so I can relate to my patients and their families.
