Holidays at the hospital: Private nurse shortage will keep some children from going home

Some medically fragile kids are spending Christmas in the hospital this year when they could be at home. Texas’ reimbursement system is failing families and driving the private duty nurses who care for these children to other states. In today’s The Dallas Morning News, Maxim's AVP of Clinical Operations, Sonia Whitebird, calls for a solution. https://bit.ly/3HYwjMh

Celebrating 20 Years with Maxim | Maxim Healthcare Services

We're thankful for our nurses and caregivers!

On our blog, we recently recognized a Maxim caregiver who celebrated 20 years with Maxim.

Earlier this year, Mary “Robbie” R., LVN, celebrated her 20th anniversary with us! Robbie works out of Maxim’s Los Angeles, CA office and has spent her 20 years with the company caring for the same patient.

As Robbie said, “I feel like if I take something on, I need to follow through every day that I’m here."

This week is Home Care Aide Week!

Thank you to all of our CNAs and HHAs who do so much to support our patients and their families with in-home services that enrich their quality of life on a daily basis.

Help us to recognize and celebrate the home health care aides in your life by sharing this post or giving your aides a shout-out on social media this week.

This Veteran's Day, we'd like to share part of a reflection written by a Maxim Senior Business Development Manager, Amy M., who dedicated 11 years of her life to military service.

"As a Veteran, I envision a future where our sons and daughters will understand the sacrifices made by the generations of service members who came before them but will never have to know it for themselves. This Veteran’s Day, I ask that you pause and truly reflect on what service to our country means and the sacrifices that are being made daily by service members across the globe. Celebrate the lives of these Veterans and acknowledge their service but also honor it. Most of all, honor their service in the way that you live your lives, ensuring that those sacrifices were never made in vain."

Maxim is proud to provide private duty nursing, personal care, therapy and other home care assistance for our Veterans.

What is Respite Care? | Maxim Healthcare Services

You may have heard that respite care is an option for you and your family, but what is it, and how do you access it? Respite care is a service that provides an opportunity for caregivers to relieve stress, restore their energy and promote balance in their lives, all while knowing that their loved one is being taken care of.

One of the primary reasons families choose respite care is to prevent caregiver burnout. Respite care is an excellent way for these caregivers to take a step back and relax while knowing their loved one is in good hands.

Check out the rest of our blog post to learn more about respite care and if your family qualifies: https://www.maximhealthcare.com/healthcare-blog/what-is-respite-care/

Relieving the Burden of Sandwich Caregivers | Maxim Healthcare Services

Who are sandwich caregivers, and what do they do?

Sandwich generation caregivers, more commonly known as sandwich caregivers, are individuals who provide care for an older relative while also parenting a minor child in their home. According to the report, at least 11 million people fall into the category of sandwich caregivers, with the majority being females in their forties.

Caregivers dedicate an average of 22 hours a week to their care recipient. Three out of five caregivers perform medical and nursing tasks that a nurse or home health aide would typically provide. These tasks include injections and colostomy care. About half of caregivers perform these tasks with little to no prior training, and about 15% say it is difficult to accomplish them.

Read our blog post for tips and resources to help relieve the burden of these caregivers: https://bit.ly/3ziOiIr
