The home health care industry continues to grow as more aging Americans prefer to stay in their homes as long as possible. While this may sound like great news, many home care companies throughout the country are struggling to keep up with demand.
More families are choosing home health care for their aging loved ones, bringing higher visibility to patient care techniques. Caregivers in the home must have the same knowledge and training in lifting and transferring patients as those in institutional settings.
Hospice organizations focus on the care – not a cure – for the patient, as well as support to the patient’s loved ones. If your organization operates a hospice, you are in a unique position to affect quality of life in your communities. By making sure your organization has appropriate insurance protection, you can keep your focus on the important services you provide to patients and their families. Take time to review the declarations page of your insurance policy.
