Home Health and Hospice Month

November is National Home Health Care and Hospice month, and we like to utilize this time to remind people that home health care is more than just convenient – it’s good medicine. Home care blends professional care with the warmth of the home environment and offers many people the opportunity to live with their families while receiving the care they need – and most importantly – keeping them from being re-hospitalized after major surgical procedures.

We also use this time to thank all those who work in the Home Health and Hospice fields. People who choose this career are the personal caregivers – with an emphasis on care – who spend time knowing the individual needs of all those that they serve. As home health providers, we too, thank the many people who allow us into their homes each and every day.

As we celebrate this entire month, stay tuned for our next blog focused on the hospice side, how we work with families and individuals as well as defining palliative care.
