As part of National Nurses Month, we celebrated our amazing hospice, palliative and home health nurses, nursing supervisors and nurse practitioners yesterday with a wonderful lunch at our Charleston office.

Providing quality care to hundreds of patients and their families each day, our nursing staff is the largest part of our organization and one of our greatest assets. They are simply the best at what they do, and we are blessed to have them!

Specialized education allows our nurse practitioners to offer our hospice and palliative care patients and their families a full range of services beyond routine care, such as health promotion, disease prevention, education and counseling. NPs can even teach patients and their caregivers new self-care techniques that better support and possibly improve their health and daily living.

A burden shared is a burden cut in half — but a burden shared with one of our Burden Bears disappears!

Handmade by volunteers out of a variety of donated fabrics, these small, soft and cuddly stuffed bears have dutifully served as constant companions to our hospice patients and their families for decades, bringing them comfort and peace during difficult times. At the end of life, some patients can fidget and tug at their blankets or quilts. These squeezable bears give them something else to hold on to, helping reduce anxiety and fear to ease their minds.

Each Burden Bear comes with a small card with a quote from a more famous bear:
“If ever there is a tomorrow when we’re not together,
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you feel
and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we are apart...
I’ll always be with you.” — Winnie the Pooh

For anyone who sews and is interested in helping carry on this tradition, the Volunteer Department has the pattern for the bears and is always happy to receive more to give out to our patients and their families. We also invite other crafty volunteers to donate small hand-knit throws for our patients to help keep them cozy and warm.

For more information about these or other volunteer opportunities, please call Lexie or Reba at 304-768-8523.

Hospice case managers see the big picture, assessing the needs of all their patients, both individually and collectively, while coordinating staffing and schedules.

Case managers check vital signs, treat symptoms, administer medication and record any medical concerns or issues a patient, family member or staff might have. They also help make changes as needed to keep patients comfortable.

They manage paperwork to ensure care plans and documentation meet all Medicare requirements and assist in patient education, case monitoring, discharge planning, resource management and patient advocacy.

To learn more about how our hospice case managers can help you or a loved one, please call 304-768-8523 in Charleston or 304-645-2700 in Lewisburg.
