Gentiva

Throughout November, we’re highlighting the contributions of the gifted professionals serving the needs of patients with chronic or serious conditions, many of whom benefit from in-home care. This week, we recognize the impact that palliative care and advanced practice providers make in the lives of our patients and their families. Here’s to the wonderful work you do all year long! #PalliativeAndAdvancedCareWeek

During #AlzheimersAwareness Month, our hearts are with those suffering from the disease and other forms of dementia, and the families who walk beside them on their journey. We are committed to helping patients live with dignity and respect – and helping their families celebrate their yesterdays while cherishing their todays.

To recognize National Home Care and Hospice Month, we sent patient and family reviews to our clinical teams across the country and asked them to read them on camera. Their reactions were priceless – and more reason to celebrate the amazing work they do, even when they think no one’s watching.

As we conclude #spiritualcareweek, we wanted to share an inspiring profile from our Heartland Hospice team, part of the Gentiva family. Vey Kidney has been a hospice chaplain for 36 years, and it truly shows in the level of compassion, humanity, and grace he brings to every bedside visit. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eNPuPhUb.

We asked Timothy Arlet, one of our gifted chaplains, to share some of the reasons why he does this special kind of work – and what it means to offer #spiritualcare to our hospice patients and their families. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eM7MNXgJ.

It's #spiritualcareweek, and we sat down with Kyle Felker, one of our amazing chaplains with New Century Hospice, part of the Gentiva family, to talk about his journey from former youth pastor and ER Tech to chaplain.

During #spiritualcareweek, we'd like to acknowledge the vital role of chaplains, spiritual care counselors, and bereavement counselors in hospice care.

The theme of this year’s National Case Management Week is Encouraging, Engaging, and Empowering. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. Case managers guide people through often challenging and complex health journeys. We are grateful for their wisdom, their compassion, and their commitment to the people in their communities.
