Our social work team manages so many different things for the patients and families of UpliftedCare to help ensure their physical and emotional needs are met. From establishing goals of care, helping connect to community resources, navigating paperwork, Veteran benefits, care planning and more, the social workers are an essential part of the UpliftedCare team!

Family caregiving is often a very stressful and labor-intensive role. Our social workers help alleviate some of the burdens caregivers often face and allow them the opportunity to spend quality time with their loved one.

Our team of CNAs are a vital part of the UpliftedCare team and help enhance comfort, dignity and support for our patients and families.

During their visit a CNA may provide personal care and grooming – bathing, dressing, hair and basic nail care, skin care and more. They may help clean or tidy the patient's space, ensuring their bed, chair, clothing, etc. Is clean and comfortable.

CNAs provide social and emotional support by offering their companionship and presence. They may play calming music, read them the paper, engage in light conversation or other activities as the patient is able.

They also help encourage hydration and provide support with meals and snacks.

Our team of nurses work in various roles throughout UpliftedCare. Our admission nurses are often the first point of contact when a person elects hospice care. They bring a high level of knowledge, care and compassion to help answer the difficult questions that often accompany serious illness and help get our patients connected with the appropriate level of care.

Once a patient is admitted they are then assigned a nurse case manager. These nurses manage a caseload of patients, develop an individualized plan of care for each one and are the point person who helps meet all their unique needs.

Our float nurses are available to help when situations arise and additional nursing support is needed.

UpliftedCare understands that serious illness can often be unpredictable. When situations arise outside of business hours, our dedicated on-call staff are on hand to see patients whenever a situation may arise. These nurses are local and available to see patients 24/7.

As the seasons shift, so do our emotions. Fall, with its shorter days and fading colors, can stir up feelings of loss and grief. In our latest blog, we explore how the changing season mirrors our inner experiences and offer reflections for those navigating grief during this time.

On July 25 we were honored to welcome a record number of guests to the UpliftedCare Community Grief Center for our annual Good Grief Family Camp! Campers of all ages and their families joined us for a day of support, education and some FUN - connecting with others sharing similar grief experiences.

Huge thanks to everyone who helped make this day possible - our staff and volunteers who works for months planning out the day and make sure every detail is taken care of and every camper has a great time, our amazing community partners who recognize the value of what we do and help to make this FREE service possible for our community, and most of all - the families who entrust us to walk alongside them on their grief journey!

While Good Grief Family Camp is held once a year, there are so many other great supportive services going on all the time at the UpliftedCare Community Grief Center! Our individual sessions, support groups, monthly workshops and more offer year round support when you need it most - all completely free of charge to anyone in the community who has experienced a loss.

As the new school year starts, some of our children may be experiencing school for the first time, moving into a different school building and starting a “year of firsts.” Unfortunately, many people in the community are also experiencing a “year of firsts” after the loss of a loved one.
