Do you think of hospice care as a form of public health? We believe you should. It encourages a compassionate approach toward end-of-life and associated bereavement services to assist the community in dealing with loss and grief. In honor of National Public Health Week, we invite you to read our recent article that touches on this and more: Why should we care about hospice? https://bit.ly/49iglGZ #NPHW

As hospice professionals, we understand that family caregivers are the primary advocates for their loved one’s health. Read our blog for tips for family caregivers on how to navigate their important role, including resources for help: https://nuvi.me/s1blhc

Here's the thing...did you know that the majority of caregivers actually DON'T identify as caregivers? I know I didn't when I first cared for my mom. As the caption states in the post below, caregivers are everyday ordinary people who take care of a family member, spouse neighbor or friend. Why is it so important to see ourselves as "caregivers" when maybe we're just being loving friends and family members? Because the pace of life today is very different. Because we don't have as easy access to the "village" and community we used to, before we started isolating more and becoming more self-sufficient. Because even though we care for others from love, it doesn't mean that we need to carry the burdens of a struggling medical system or rapidly escalating medical and social demands on our own. May is National Caregiver month. I encourage you to ask yourself if you're a caregiver (chances are you might be) and get curious on what supports are out there to help. Also, have a listen to my podcast Lead With Love - where we explore what it means to be a caregiver and the personal experience and change you might go through. https://lnkd.in/ebxXYgdq Reach out to me if you want to chat! #CaregiverAware

Managing crises in palliative care, such as acute symptom exacerbations, caregiver distress, and family conflict, requires proactive planning and effective communication. Regular symptom assessment, emergency plans, and accessible medication help manage acute symptoms. Support systems, caregiver education, and regular check-ins address caregiver distress. Facilitating open communication, holding family meetings, and offering mediation services help resolve family conflicts. Proactive planning through advance care planning and comprehensive care plans, along with clear, compassionate communication, ensures patients, caregivers, and families are well-prepared and supported during crises. #inhomeconnect #palliativecare #hospicepatients #palliativecareprofessionals
