Joint replacement isn’t what it used to be.

When many people hear “knee replacement” or “hip replacement,” they think:

Long hospital stay.
Severe pain.
Months in bed.

That’s outdated.

Here’s what modern joint replacement often looks like:

First — surgery is usually the last resort.
Many patients improve with:

• Weight loss
• Physical therapy
• Injections

But when surgery is needed…

Procedures can take around 60 minutes.
Total room time is often under 2 hours.

Most patients go home the same day.

Pain management is also different now.

Surgeons use multimodal pain control — meaning multiple medications working together — to reduce pain while minimizing opioid use.

Recovery timelines are clearer too:

• Remote/computer work: 2–4 weeks
• Manual labor: 6–8 weeks
• Full tissue healing: up to 1 year

The key?

Identifying the true cause (arthritis vs. bursitis),
and finding a surgeon you trust.

Joint replacement isn’t about “giving up.”

It’s about moving from chronic pain…
to active recovery.

Adam Wright, M.D. with POSMC and our CEO walk through this in a podcast explaining what families should realistically expect before, during, and after surgery.

What does Hospice cover under Medicare?

03/03/2026

If you missed this week’s Hospice 101 LIVE, we shared Linda’s journey with congestive heart failure — and what the transition from home health to hospice looked like for her and her family.

CHF is one of those diagnoses that can feel manageable… until it isn’t.
It often comes with hospitalizations, fluid buildup, shortness of breath, medication adjustments — and families constantly wondering:

“Are we doing enough?”
“Why does she keep declining?”
“What happens next?”

We talked about:
• What advanced CHF progression can look like
• Why repeated hospitalizations are often a sign it’s time for a different conversation
• How home health supports stabilization — but when hospice becomes appropriate
• How hospice manages shortness of breath, anxiety, and fluid overload at home
• And how we support both the patient and the exhausted caregiver

Linda’s story reminded us of something important:

Hospice isn’t about stopping care.
It’s about changing the goal of care.

When treatment shifts from trying to fix the heart…
to making sure the person attached to the heart is comfortable.

Behind every CHF diagnosis is usually a spouse managing medications.
A daughter coordinating appointments.
A son worried after every ER visit.
That’s why these conversations matter.

Because many families don’t realize hospice is available for cardiac patients — and often much earlier than they think.

If you missed this week’s Hospice 101 LIVE, we shared Marcus’ journey with ALS — and what hospice looked like for him and his family.

ALS is one of those diagnoses that changes everything.
Not all at once… but steadily.

We talked about:
• What ALS progression can look like
• When hospice becomes appropriate (it’s often earlier than families think)
• How hospice supports breathing changes, mobility decline, and comfort
• And how we walk alongside both the patient and the caregiver

Marcus’ story reminded us of something important:

Hospice isn’t about “giving up.”
It’s about shifting the focus — from cure to comfort, from crisis to preparation, from fear to support.

Behind every diagnosis is a spouse, a child, a friend trying to figure out what comes next.

That’s why we have these conversations.

If you couldn’t join us live, we’ll be back next Tuesday.

Charlin Who???

Some of the best businesses have humble beginnings. Think of your favorite "mom and pop" shop: how did it start and what was their vision? Charlin’s story is unusual but the mission and vision keep us going.

Let's start with our name. Charlin. Charlin is the combination of my name (Charles) and my brother's name (Kingsley). CHARLeskINgsley. Pronounced like Charlotte and Lynn. The more you say it, the easier it gets. Unusual, but intentional.

My mom had an idea 15 years ago to start a home health where patient-centered care was the main goal. As an RN (Registered Nurse) she was working in a big hospital and home health agency where sadly she saw the mission getting lost in the money. Patient-centered care didn’t seem to be the focus anymore. It was more about the numbers, and less about what was the right thing to do. She wanted to change that, but also to have a legacy to pass down that doing business in an ethical-patient centered way was the best way. I remember when she came up with the name "Charlin". "Charlin.....mom..... that is really weird." I said. She told me that the Lord put it in her heart so that she will never forget our mission and vision. That vision was to pass on a healthcare company to her children and then children's children. Whoever is in administration must have clinical experience to enforce quality care for patients and their families. This brings stability to a company knowing that those who are at the top will remain the same from generation to generation. Continuity breeds sustainability.

I can remember helping out shredding papers in our living room after I did my homework afters school and filing paperwork to help out. As we grew, I saw her passion and her work ethic. It inspired me to be a clinician who was honest in my work. A few years ago my wife and I picked up and moved home so I could help my mom out.
