The Caregiving Years Training Academy

SEPTEMBER 14, 2024

We do so much for so many during our day that we can get lost to the needs of others while overlooking our own needs. Let’s be more intentional with our moments by choosing to be clear about the role we’re in. For instances: Our role could be to a listener. Our role could be to a parent by effectively communicating about rules and expectations. Our role could be to a leader to our team by setting clear goals and measurable outcomes.

Hospice Promise

SEPTEMBER 14, 2024

During hospice, there are times when patients need immediate, expert care. If a patient has a medical crisis, our team remains with them to ensure that pain and symptoms are taken care of, providing them with the relief and attention they need. Typically, we provide eight hours of continuous care for pain and symptom management. If a patient requires more than eight hours, then we transition them into general inpatient care.
