Our hospice and home health aides dedicate their lives to the well-being of others, taking care of the everyday tasks our patients can’t take care of themselves. And while they’re always ready to extend a helping hand, this week we want to give them a round of applause for all they do. We truly appreciate the patience, wisdom, and kindness they bring to work with them every day. #CertifiedNursingAssistantsWeek
Impressive growth!
Understanding the difference between home health care, hospice care, palliative care, and home care can be confusing and overwhelming. If you’re feeling unsure about which kind of care and support your or your family needs, you’re in the right place. Check out our comparison below for an overview of the different types of care.
A patient is referred to hospice care when a doctor’s prognosis is six months or less and you might think that means that after 6 months care ends. The reality is that hospice care can continue as long as the need for hospice care remains. After the initial 6 month period, patient cases are reevaluated and as long as the patient still needs care, Community Hospice & Health Services will be there for you and your loved ones. #HospiceCare #EndOfLifeCare #PalliativeCare #HospiceSupport #HospiceServices #PatientCare #CaregiverSupport #CommunityHospice #QualityOfLife

We are one of a select number of hospice and palliative care agencies in the area to receive a four-star rating. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💡 The survey asks for a rating across 6 global domains, some of which include how well we communicate with family, how timely our response is, and what kind of support we provide for pain and symptoms.

While the stigma around hospice care is that the family and patient are giving up hope, early hospice care is a way for not only the patient, but the family and caregivers to maximize their quality of life. Quality of Life Through Compassionate Care. #HospiceAwareness #hospicelife #hospicecare #hospice #healthcare #qualityoflife #compassionatecare
Home Health focuses on providing high-quality, compassionate care to patients in their homes. This allows patients to recover from illness or injury, manage chronic conditions, and maintain their INDEPENDENCE in the comfort of their own surroundings. Here are some of the benefits of Home Health care: -Improved patient outcomes -Increased patient satisfaction -Reduced costs -Increased INDEPENDENCE *Independence is capitalized because it means that the patient will get back to normal without needing the support of family or friends. If INDEPENDENCE is NOT a true outcome, please inquire about HOSPICE, it’s the highest medical care for those who are not and will not be independent because of their decline. #Hospice #HomeHealth #BeInformed #threeoakshospice #MedicalCare
