Welcome to vision, the homecare leaders podcast. I’m Melissa Mendes with homecare pulse. Five things, every homecare director of nursing needs to know. I’d like to introduce Daisy Dalegowski from BrightStar Care out of Denver, Colorado, where Daisy is the director of nursing.
The duties of family-member caregivers may include transportation, bill paying, dressing, bathing, and other activities of daily living, in addition to medical assistance such as medication administration. They also experience emotional and mental health issues due to lack of sleep, grief and watching the suffering of a family member.
Revisiting this complex topic for a third time, Mitch Ware takes a deeper look into the seven stages of grief and explores how we cycle through them. We've addressed grief in two previous episodes.

Skilled nursing is the general medical care provided to patients and includes such services as medication management, wound care, patient education, etc. Nurses aides can assist with activities of daily living such as toileting, bathing, and feeding. What Does Hospice Care Include?
The RN case manager will set up regular nursing visits at the patient’s home and will provide the bulk of the medical care. Home health aides provide help with activities of daily living such as bathing, when the patient requires that assistance. Chaplains are also available for spiritual care.
Hospice care teams work with patients to develop individualized pain management plans that aim to minimize a patient’s pain and maximize their comfort. In addition to pain management, hospice care teams also provide other types of physical support, such as help with basic activities of daily living, like bathing, dressing, and eating.

You know, I had a patient who was in hospice homecare. It impacts how we behave. And it impacts how we feel. That's huge.
