Hospice

Living with hope.
Our role at Interim HealthCare Hospice is to support our patients and families as they approach the end of their lives. We will help them understand the choices available to them and work to support them in their decisions. We will provide personalized care, coordinating the services that will make them safe and comfortable. We encourage contact with friends and family that allow important things to be spoken, remembered and celebrated. Our focus will be to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of our clients and those who love and care for them.

Care Point - Palliative Care

Based on our four care tenants of care and our two point model, CarePoint helps lower unplanned hospitalizations and unnecessary care, resulting in lowered costs to patients and the various community healthcare organizations providing them with other care services. Though proactive care planning, CarePoint can assist in reducing futile treatment options, reduce polypharmacy issues, and ensure that the patient’s treatment preferences are respected. Each of these areas result in higher patient satisfaction.

We understand that transitioning between care settings is a critical point in each patients treatment journey. Our transitional care coordinator provides services that help patients and care providers navigate those transitions seamlessly. This service emphasizes continuity of care between transitions, reducing potential costly risks related with poor transitional care.

Patient-Centered Dementia Care
Dementia can be devasting for the people who live with it, and for their family members. It’s a problem more and more of us will face, as either patients or caregivers, as the U.S. population ages. The older a person gets, the greater their likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s disease, the leading cause of dementia. At least one in 10 people over 65 has Alzheimer’s, as do at least one-third of people 85 and older.

Interim HealthCare’s dementia program is designed to address the specific needs and concerns of dementia patients and their families through every stage of dementia. Our goal: To help individuals with dementia live safely and comfortably, with meaning and dignity, and provide families with much-needed support and peace of mind.

In order to provide the most supportive environment possible, certification in the Teepa Snow Positive Approach® to Care philosophy is offered to our caregivers and clinicians so they can leverage specialized training techniques in order to implement the complex care that’s needed. The approach emphasizes what patients can do instead of what they can’t. As part of their PAC training, our personal care and support services professionals are taught to encourage customized daily activities — often inspired by former hobbies and interests — that deliver meaning, provide a sense of accomplishment and spark moments of joy.

As dementia progresses, we pledge to preserve dignity and provide comfort while meeting evolving needs with skill, patience and compassion. Our care is tailored to each stage of brain change according to the GEMS® dementia classification model so we can meet people where they are on their dementia pathway and adjust activities and interactions based on their current abilities, as well as the challenges they’re facing. Some of the challenges our professionals are trained to address include:

Hearing changes
Decline of self-care abilities
Personality changes
Anger, aggression, frustration and anxiety
Changing taste buds and nutritional needs
Sundowning
Wandering

Dementia is complicated. But thanks to specialized training and experience, our care providers are experts in keeping individuals living with it safe and comfortable and treating them with the respect they deserve. Our dementia care program spans all of our care services, which include skilled home health services, personal care and support services and hospice care. For many people in the early and middle stages of dementia, personal care and support services can enable them to live at home, in comfortable, familiar surroundings. These services include help with daily activities of living (such as dressing, bathing, meal preparation and light housekeeping), medication reminders and transportation to doctor appointments.

Dementia can be frightening and frustrating for everyone involved. The emotional and physical toll it takes on family members can be heavy. If you’re caring for a loved one with dementia, in person or from a distance, remember: You don’t have to go it alone. For help, click here to find the Interim HealthCare location nearest you.
