Spring 2014 - Hospice of Orleans

News & Notes for our
Families & Friends
Spring 2014
& Palliative Care
Sister’s experience leads to Hospice career
When thinking of Hospice, most
people think of an end. However,
for me, it was a beginning.
Who are these Hospice people that
make all this possible? Possible to
be with someone you love so much
at such a precious time, in an environment without machines and
alarms and tests?
My relationship with Hospice began in 2003 when my younger sister had no other options available
in her fight against Non-Hodgkin’s
Lymphoma. She was informed in a
hospital in Massachusetts after
four long years of difficult treatments. Hospice was suggested to
our family in the hallway as if it
were a dirty word.
When she arrived at the hospital in
Orleans County, things seemed to
just magically happen. There were
refreshments for the family outside her door, comfort medications
being administered, and friendly
staff orchestrating the next “thing.”
Before we knew it, she was at our
mother’s home, with family.
The understated truth about Hospice is that they are there, but not
front and center. They provide
preparation, not false hope. They
are behind the scenes, quietly doing what they do.
The few weeks that followed were,
as expected, the most difficult.

Sunflowers,
my sister’s
favorite
My sister has been gone for 11
years. Not a day goes by that I am
not reminded of her courage and of
the selfless work of Hospice—because I now know
those answers: As a Hospice employee for almost five
years, for me, this was not just a career choice but a
career calling.

Executive Perspective: Hospice – the comfort & care you deserve
One of the biggest stresses families face today is the cost of medical
care. Care for a person with chronic illness and the medications that are
required can be extremely costly.
The Medicare Hospice Benefit was established in 1983 to provide Medicare beneficiaries with access to high-quality care when faced with a serious,
life-limiting illness. Eighty percent of people who use Hospice care are over the
age of 65, and are thus entitled to the services offered by the Medicare Hospice
Benefit.
Mary Anne Fischer, BSN
Executive Director
Medicare provides complete coverage for the expert medical care that
Hospice of Orleans can provide, including visits from our doctor and nurses,
social workers and pastoral care providers, as well as our home health aides
and volunteers. Cost of medications and medical equipment are also covered
by Medicare.
Medicare is likely to cover hospice services for individuals with heart, lung, liver and
kidney diseases; ALS; emphysema, COPD, stroke and Alzheimer’s disease as well as cancers of all
types. If you or someone you are caring for are experiencing some of the following symptoms:
Pain
Lack of energy
Fatigue
Shortness of breath
Loss of appetite
Agitation or restlessness
Loss of weight
Frequent MD/ER visits
for complications
Nausea
Constipation or diarrhea
Poor sleep
Deteriorating functional
and physical status
…it is likely a good time to inquire about hospice and what services are available to you.
Remember that Hospice services are available to you or a loved one at home, in a
nursing home, in an assisted living facility or in the hospital, as well as at our
Martin-Linsin Hospice Residence.
Even if you elect to use your hospice benefit, Medicare will still pay for covered benefits for any
health problems that aren’t related to your terminal illness, like care for an injury.
If you need more information, please call us at 585-589-0809 and we will be happy to sit down
with you to help you determine if Hospice care or one of our other programs can bring you the
care and comfort that you deserve.

Annual Meeting & Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon

at the United Methodist Church of Medina
(former Apple Grove), 222 West Center Street.

Hospice of Orleans offers highly skilled, coordinated
care to provide comfort and dignity to people living with a
terminal prognosis. Our interdisciplinary team, including
medical, social work, spiritual support, therapy services
and bereavement counseling, allows patients and their
families to consider questions of legacy with the peace of
mind that their patients’ needs are being addressed.
If Hospice has helped you or someone close to you, you
know what a difference our holistic approach makes. Can
you imagine our community without Hospice?
You can help secure our services for Orleans County
families well into the future by becoming a member of the
Hospice of Orleans Bequest Society. For more
