Without family caregivers, many hospice patients would be unable to receive care in their homes. To help keep patients at home — the lowest-cost setting of care — the federal government recently unveiled a National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers, which has more than two decade’s worth of advocacy behind it. .
The nonprofit hospice and home health provider became Medicare certified in 2006, and is operated by Catholic Community Service. The organization’s volunteers also provided companionship, caregiver respite, therapeutic massages, meal delivery, construction tasks, errands and recording of life histories, among others services.
The faith-based nonprofit organization also has a telehospice program, which offers virtual telehealth support to hospice caregivers and patients. Terminally ill residents at the Lourdes facility who are unable to remain at home or lack caregiver support will be eligible to receive care at the inpatient hospice.

Started as a direct case manager, worked in a variety of different places including the state legislature and I’ve been with the state office now since 2006. I think it’s a little known fact that the Older Americans Act, which is kind of our mothership, was passed at the same time as Medicare and Medicaid in 1965.
Don’t get me wrong, the evidence points to cost savings, but as Chris Callahan and Kathleen Unroe pointed out in a JAGS editorial in 2020 “in comprehensive dementia care models, savings may accrue to Medicare, but the expenses accrue to a fluid and unstable network of local service providers, patients, and their families.” Malaz: I love it.
