We talk a lot about how we protect the health of our patients, but how do we shield our staff?

For , we are highlighting the vital protocols that keep our team safe in the home:

• Ergonomic Training: Teaching safe transfer techniques to prevent severe back injuries when helping patients move.
• Situational Awareness: Assessing every home for environmental risks, trip hazards, and securing defensive pets before care begins.
• Infection Control: Utilizing advanced PPE and sanitization protocols.

When our healthcare workers are safe, supported, and healthy, we know that we are doing our job.

Do vaccines matter for hospice patients?

We believe that they do, depending on your situation.

Not only can they provide protection for other residents if your loved one is residing in a skilled nursing facility, but some preventable illnesses can cause unnecessary discomfort for patients at the end of their lives.

If you’re wondering if vaccines are right for your situation, please reach out to your provider.

Let’s check your vitals. No, not the patient’s. You — the caregiver’s.

Are you sleeping? Are you eating? Are you experiencing back pain from lifting your loved one? Caregiver burnout is a wellness concern, too.

Let's discuss how our care team can give you the respite you desperately need.

If you’re just now entering hospice, now is the time to put your healthcare wishes in writing. The best way to do so is through a legal document called an Advance Directive, which outlines your preferences for care when you’re unable to speak for yourself.

We provide assistance with Advance Directives for our patients. Just ask your provider, and we can help get you started.

In a hospital, your healthcare team is just down the hall from one another. How does collaboration work when providing healthcare at home?

Exceptional home-based care relies on an invisible safety net of communication. Our team makes sure all care members are in the know through meticulous note taking and secure platforms.

Our constant coordination ensures that small changes are caught early, keeping our patients safe, comfortable, and out of the emergency room.
