IN THE SPOTLIGHT! Complete Hospice Care
We are pleased to announce our newest advertiser
in the Phoenix SPOTLIGHT Senior Services &
Welcome Complete Hospice Care!
Complete Hospice Care
Once upon a time a small group of unhappy hospice nurses and
a disgruntled human resource manager got together over wings and fries to plan
an escape form their frustrations in the hospice industry. They wondered if all the things they thought
would work well would actually work well.
They threw caution to the wind, and lo and behold, most of it not only
worked well, but exceedingly well.
Complete Hospice Care is absolutely and without compromise about taking
care of patients and families. We’re
also about taking care of each other.
Really, who wants a tired cranky nurse to come into their home
anyway?
Complete Hospice Care
prides itself at “B” ing everything you need it to be!
Be great. Be great at whatever you are. Be a great nurse, a great social worker,
C.N.A. etc., etc. Complete Hospice is
excellent because our people are excellent.
Mostly those of us that sit behind a desk stand back, get out of the
way, and let people be wonderful. They
always are.
Be compliant. All hospices are paid by Medicare, and
Medicare requires all of us to follow the same rules. We’re sticklers for the
rules. In fact, we drive the speed limit
when people aren’t looking, and always use the crosswalk.
Be nice. This should be a standard of life. Nice
feels better than not nice. It really is the little things that mean the most.
We pay attention to the little things, for both the people we work for and the people we work with.
Be wonderful. This
is where Complete Care really shines. We’re more than just the wound care or
medication change. We are really about what we can do to make it better today?
We really think about it. What could make this moment the best it can be? Our
question isn’t why would we do something, but instead, why wouldn’t we?
Complete Hospice Care ~ What it means to be completely
wonderful! Give us a call… or drop
by. We love to talk about what we do,
and we have cookies. J

BrightStar Care "20 Questions Every Family Caregiver Should Ask"
20 Questions Every Family Caregiver Should Ask
According to the National Family Caregivers Association, more than 50 million Americans provide care for a chronically ill, disabled, or aged family member or friend during any given year. Nearly all of us will face this situation at some point. These 20 questions will help you consider key factors as well as accurately and realistically evaluate your loved one’s condition.
That’s why we pulled together a helpful questionnaire to guide family caregivers on some key considerations for assessing their ability to care for a loved one relative to their loved one’s needs. Things like:
- Assessing your loved one’s surroundings and safety
- Taking inventory of your loved one’s insurance and important documents
- Considering what support you have nearby for additional help if needed
And more. Click here to download the family caregiver questionnaire for free.
