There is a big need for home care workers. I know my grandparents appreciate all of the care they receive! <a href="http://www.HospiceCalumet.org" rel="nofollow"> http://www.HospiceCalumet.org</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589545769720414757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6296669137299786155.post-85029032311017639072013-11-01T16:47:59.424-07:002013-11-01T16:47:59.424-07:00I think that hospice is more often than not the be...I think that hospice is more often than not the better choice. Places like <a href="http://www.nvna.org" rel="nofollow">Hospice in Hingham</a> are sometimes the only brief help a person gets through their decline in age and health. They have a lot of great people there to help out. My grandmother has dementia and it really makes me grateful for places like that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17449561555190577637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6296669137299786155.post-86899507139174490162011-08-05T03:02:12.699-07:002011-08-05T03:02:12.699-07:00As a person living comfortably without any feeling...As a person living comfortably without any feeling of physical pain, I hate to see folks suffering from that kind of condition.

Keep up the good work. Your voice is needed. <br /><br />And dont worry about the 'reproach' about patients maybe getting on hospice sooner. In hospice , we realize the decision to choose hospice is complex and has many turning points. If we talk about the delay it is more of a grumble against the system as a whole that forces patients into these tough decisions. I wish more people could get more help in the concurrent model you describe using with your CHF and COPD patients.Christian Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14685043408496367587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6296669137299786155.post-83988719431409303392010-11-17T05:02:21.939-08:002010-11-17T05:02:21.939-08:00I agree.

I find that oncology patients are often not informed of their prognosis and oncologists keep pushing the chemo and radiation because they think that's what the family/patient expect them to do; when in reality, I often see relief when they are told we are recommending hospice. Thanks for the idea, I think I'm going to blog about this :)(at some point).KimberFNPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578872486642370222noreply@blogger.com
