National Home Care and Hospice Month

National Home Care and Hospice Month in November is when we honor all professionals who work in the broad field of home care and hospice work – this includes physicians, nurses, aides, social workers, physical therapists, and so much more. There are four types of hospice care: routine home care, continuous home care, general inpatient care, and respite care. Each requires a different skillset and comes with its own emotional and physical demands. Despite studies showing quite a high private home care value in the United States, the professionals who perform these services often receive very little pay, yet are committed to helping patients live and pass away with dignity. This month is for them.  To obtain further information, please NATIONAL HOME CARE AND HOSPICE MONTH (nationaltoday.com)
