This November, we’re proud to join the National Alliance for Care at Home in celebrating National Care at Home Month. We believe everyone deserves high-quality, person-centered care, wherever they call home.

This month, we celebrate the heart and hands behind that mission: our caregivers, clinicians and partners who make that possible every day.

Home health care can be a lifeline for people recovering from illness or injury or managing chronic conditions. It helps patients stay safe and independent at home, with support from skilled professionals. Many don’t realize it’s fully covered by Medicare for those who qualify.

Heart failure is one of the leading causes of hospitalization for older adults and it rarely presents alone — most people with heart failure have at least one other significant cardiovascular condition. Without the right support, living independently becomes a challenge and many end up back in the hospital.

Our evidence-based Heart Failure Empowerment Program helps patients manage symptoms at home with a personalized care plan, interdisciplinary support and close coordination with physicians. Learn more: https://hubs.li/Q03QDJmH0

For this month's MVP Moment, we're shining a light on our Patient Services Coordinator superstar in Durham, NC, Autumn Coleman. We celebrate her not only for the many roles she juggles each day to keep patient care provided in a timely manner, but for the way she does it — with excellence, humor and a heart for service. Thank you Autumn for embodying our SPIRIT core values and sharing them with Amedisys every day!

At Amedisys, we pride ourselves on industry-leading quality of care. This National Healthcare Quality Week, we’re celebrating the measurable impact of our commitment to excellence in both hospice and home health.

In hospice, Amedisys outperforms national CMS averages on all 7 HIS quality measures, and our Hospice Care Index score of 9.7 exceeds the national average of 8.8. And our Code Green protocol ensures patients receive compassionate, timely care, far surpassing national benchmarks for end-of-life visits.

In home health, Amedisys averages 4.2 stars out of 5 for quality of patient care, well above the national average of 3.24 stars. This rating reflects how often our patients improve in key areas like walking, breathing and medication management, and how consistently we deliver timely, effective care.

We’re proud of our clinicians and care teams who make these outcomes possible every day, in every home. Learn more about our quality commitment at: https://hubs.li/Q03PqhnW0

At Amedisys, we’re committed to being there when patients and their families need us the most. Our Code Green protocol is a call to action for the hospice team to work together to address the evolving physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the patient as they approach the end of life so no patient transitions alone.

Volunteers get to make their own schedule!
Our Non-medical Hospice Direct Care Volunteer provides support to patients living with a terminal illness, in addition to their caregivers and family. Support is provided in a variety of ways, including companionship, socialization, and caregiver relief. There is no medical background needed - our Hospice volunteers do not interact with the patient in any medical or personal hygiene capacity (i.e., volunteers do not give baths, get the patient in/out of bed, or to/from the bathroom, give medication).
Some examples of what a Direct Care Volunteer could do:
• Provide companionship
• Socialization and/or support to hospice patients and their families/caregivers
• Reading to the patient
• Playing games
• Writing letters to or on behalf of the patient
• Assisting with light household duties (watering plants, walking pets, washing dishes, emptying and taking out the garbage, etc.

Volunteers make their own schedule! We do ask for about 2 hours per visit. For more information email: amedisysvolprogram@amedisys.com
