  • Back to Hospice Basics - What You Need to Know About Continuous Care

    Back to Hospice Basics - What You Need to Know About Continuous Care
    May 23 2025
    We’re getting back to the basics of hospice, talking about Continuous Care with hospice nurse Gabby Jimenez of The Hospice Heart. Continuous care can be confusing. We’re talking about when it’s used, how it works, and where it happens. Here are some highlights from this episode: • Continuous Care (CC) is a level of care within the Medicare hospice benefit. It’s also called Crisis Care. • CC is used for symptom management and is managed by the hospice team in the patient’s residence. • There’s no increased cost for the patient or family if CC is implemented. • Continuous Care DOES NOT have to be continuous - it can be divided into increments that benefit both patient and caregiver. • CC is used when symptoms become unmanageable, things like pain, shortness of breath, or agitation. • CC is temporary. Having Continuing Care DOES NOT mean the hospice team will put staff in the home 24/7 indefinitely; it’s only in place until the symptoms are resolved. • An RN or LVN has to do at least 50% of Continuous Care hours. If medication is being administered, a nurse must be the hospice team member to provide the Continuous Care. • When the symptoms resolve, Continuous Care will be stopped, and the routine hospice care will resume. Connect with Gabby Jimenez of The Hospice Heart: Gabby Jimenez is a hospice nurse, end-of-life doula, death and dying educator, and author.

  • This is What Funeral Planning Should Look Like

    This is What Funeral Planning Should Look Like
    May 16 2025

    Funeral director Andre Roupp of Roupp Funeral Home believes each person and every family has a story, and he’s sharing all the ways funeral planning makes services personal and meaningful. When advance care planning doesn’t include funeral planning, there can be fallout that makes the family’s grief journey more difficult. Here are some highlights from Andre’s interview:

    • Pre-planning a funeral can ease the immediate overwhelm of tasks that happen right after a death occurs.
    • Including funeral plans in an advance care plan eases the emotional, financial, and decision-making burden for the surviving family.
    • Military ceremonies can provide a personalized, respectful recognition of service.
    • A lack of pre-planning can cause a lot of anxiety for a family, deepening their grief or causing discord among the family members.

  • Back to Hospice Basics: What You Need to Know About Respite

    Back to Hospice Basics: What You Need to Know About Respite
    May 9 2025

    We’re getting back to the basics of hospice care with Social Worker Lisa Pahl to talk about respite care and how it works. Respite care is part of the care that hospice agencies provide but the details about it can be confusing. Here are a few things you should know about respite care:

    • Respite care offers 5 days of care for a hospice patient to allow the caregiver time away.
    • There is no regulation that states how often respite care has to be provided; many agencies offer it once a certification period (may be a 90 day period or a 60 day period).
    • Respite care has to be provided in a Medicare-certified facility with whom the hospice agency has a contract. It can’t be done in the patient’s home.
    • Cost of the respite care (including transportation) is the responsibility of the hospice agency, but there may be a small copy that is charged to the patient/caregiver.
    • The caregiver doesn’t have to use all 5 days, but that might make it difficult to find a facility willing to accept the patient.
    • There are many reasons why caregivers might utilize respite - health needs, a family event, travel, or just feeling overwhelmed.
    • It isn’t easy for a caregiver to choose to use respite. They may feel guilt or fear, have a sense of losing control, or want to be with their person every minute of whatever time they have left. They might even worry their person would die while in respite care. Connect with Lisa Pahl, owner/creator (thedeathdeck.com) The Death Deck and End of Life Deck
