Home Health and Hospices​
Home health services help adults, seniors and pediatric clients who are recovering after a hospital or facility stay or need additional support to remain safely at home and avoid unnecessary hospitalization. These Medicare-certified services may include short-term nursing, rehabilitation, therapeutic and assistive home health care.
​
Hospice care is designed to give supportive care to people in the final phases of a terminal illness. The focus is to provide comfort and quality of life rather than a cure. Hospice programs can provide services at home as well as nursing homes, freestanding facilities, or within hospitals. Hospice utilizes a multidisciplinary team approach that includes physicians, nurses, social workers, aides, chaplains and volunteers in providing care.

Long Term Care Planning​
Life changes dramatically when you or your spouse becomes ill. Many couples cannot afford expensive long-term care costs while maintaining the well-spouse’s same standard of living. But, it doesn’t have to be that way. There are numerous options to preserve and protect assets for the well-spouse while getting skilled care either in the home or in a facility for the ill spouse. Planning in the early stages of diseases such as dementia or Alzheimer’s allows for the best options later, but even if your spouse is already sick, there are still plenty of options to explore. There are life care planning teams that can address all of your concerns from legal and financial, to health and care planning.
