24) Families should be isolated from a dying patient. Hospice care recognizes the vital role that family plays during one of life’s most challenging times. Families are encouraged to be actively involved in their loved one’s care, focusing on spending meaningful, quality time together. The core goal of hospice, beyond providing comprehensive medical care, is to help families shift from the role of caregivers back to simply being family—creating precious moments in the time they have left. What benefit would there be to isolate the patient from their loved ones during such a vulnerable time? Hospice seeks to ensure families can be together, offering support while prioritizing emotional connection and shared experiences. #HospiceCare #FamilySupport #EndOfLifeCare #QualityTime #Caregiving #HealthCare

Interviewing is key to finding the right fit for your family during such an important phase of life. 🩷
Author of GONE FROM MY SIGHT aka: "the hospice blue book", NHPCO Hospice Innovator Award, End of Life Educator
You wouldn’t buy a pair of shoes without trying them on to see if they’re a good fit — yet we accept hospice services a hospital or a physician tells us to use. There is a saying that “a rose is a rose is a rose.” Well, a hospice is not necessarily a hospice is NOT necessarily a hospice. If you or a physician think it is time for hospice services for your special person, start interviewing agencies in your area. Most areas have more than one hospice. Talk with as many as you can find. Ask them questions and let them know your expectations.. Assess their warmth, their availability, and how you feel talking with them. There are excellent hospice agencies out there. You are going to be guided by and working with an agency during a very important, emotionally-charged time. You want the hospice you choose to be “a good fit.” #hospice #endoflifedoula #endoflife #endoflifecare #hospicenurse #caregiverlife #familycaregiver #caregiving #caregivingfortheelderly #caregivinglife #gonefrommysight #death #deathanddying #deatheducation #deathworker

So very true. Engaging with #Hospice and #endoflife care is already difficult. I have a colleague who has been using #hospice for almost 2 years. Thankfully, she had a good group, but replacements are always difficult for the #caregiver and #patient when people leave. Here are some essential questions to ask when you are picking a hospice group (including inpatient): 1. What are the group's annual turnover rate and attrition? 2. Is the staff local or traveling? What is the staff makeup? traveling vs locals 3. How will change be communicated, and by whom? 4. How many patients does the average hospice nurse see? (ratios). 5. How are late nights, after-hours, and holidays handled? 6. Do the nurses assigned have a #specially? Meaning do they usually treat #cancer patients or #neurodegenerative diseases like #dementia and #Parkinsons or #CHF? While beggars can't be choosers, it's helpful if there is a #specialty in their end-of-life experience to align with the patient #diagnosis, as the management can be very different. Thank you, Barbara, for sharing this important message. #findyourwhy #patientadvocate ##endoflife #hospice #palliativecare

What do you do when a senior loved one refuses to accept caregiving help? This is a challenge that many caregivers experience, but is often overlooked. Here at Home Care Assistance, we help families overcome this obstacle every day. Here are some tactics our families have found to be successful: ➡️ Approach your parent with a united front, involving siblings or other family members. ➡️ Go slowly and start early by offering help here and there and increasing support as needs evolve. ➡️ Take your time introducing anything new. For example, hire an in-home caregiver for a few days as a trial. ➡️ If resistance remains high, involve your parent's physician, whose recommendation can go a long way. Have questions? We're here to help. Contact us today and let us help you and your loved ones: https://lnkd.in/d8dVi_n #seniorcare #inhomecare #hcacares #caregiving #seniorlivingcommunity #athomecare #edmontonalberta #hcaEdmonton #seniorliving

Healthcare professionals hold the required medical knowledge that helps patients heal. But, caregiving plays an equally important role in enabling recovery. Without a caregiver by their side, it's a lonelier, longer, and potentially complicated return to health for patients. That crucial role of a caregiver is more often than not performed by a patient's family member or close loved one, as Shahed Alam shares. It's not an easy role, by any means, and caregivers need all the support they can get - particularly support that's built into the healthcare system as a 'standard of care.' #noorahealth #caregiving #healthcare #familycaregiving #family #community #society #health #recovery #caregivingsupport #support
As our Shahed Alam writes, his mother’s commitment to caring for an ailing family member isn’t an anomaly. It’s another example of the importance of adequately equipping families and loved ones to support patient care. Discover how the early exposure to family caregiving shaped Shahed and contributed to Noora Health’s founding: https://ow.ly/X68850Q255N #Caregiving #HealthCare #Blog #TheCompanion #HealthcareDelivery
