The Sound of Sunshine - Livingston Memorial Visiting Nurses
LIVINGSTON MEMORIAL VISITING NURSE ASSOCIATION Summer 2015 lmvna.org (805)642-0239 The Sound of Sunshine L ivingston Hospice follows a philosophy of compassion that provides care for people in the end stages of terminal illness. Our hospice team works towards ensuring that the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of both the patient and their family are met with an emphasis on living and maintaining quality of life. The treatment options typically range from pharmacologically alleviating the patient’s pain to helping families cope through the transition with social services and religious counseling. Additionally, there are complementary therapies, such as massage, aromatherapy and music therapy that can provide further comfort to those who are suffering. A wealth of new research supports the effectiveness of music therapy in improving mental, physical and emotional health. In addition to reducing anxiety and stress, it has been found that listening to music decreases pain awareness and depression, helps with memory, and provides for enhanced communication with families through nonverbal expression. Research has also shown that music is the last external sensation that registers with a dying patient. We are pleased to introduce the newest member of the hospice team, Board Certified Music Therapist, Lori Sunshine, MT-BC. Lori has been working as a clinically trained professional music therapist for over 25 years. She sings and plays the harp, piano, guitar and a variety of percussion instruments. She has extensive experience in the medical field using music therapies in hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, and residences. Her focus is on creating beauty, meaning and comfort for her patients and their families through a therapeutic relationship with music. “I believe in the power of music to heal,” she says. “Even in the most difficult situations I have seen breakthroughs where other modalities have failed.” Music Therapist Lori Sunshine, MT-BC Inside This Issue: Mother’s Day Luncheon page 4 A Gift for Later page 11 Calendar of FREE Community Classes Page 3 Our Message to You BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Laura K. McAvoy CHAIRMAN Jeffrey D. Paul VICE CHAIR Thomas P. Pecht VICE CHAIR & TREASURER William J. Kearney Livingston Quality Care Q uality home healthcare and patient satisfaction have been a Livingston hallmark since 1947. In 1995 Livingston became Ventura County’s first home healthcare agency to be accredited byThe Joint Commission, accreditation that is regarded as the most comprehensive review of patient safety and quality efforts in the industry. We also utilize third party providers to monitor patient satisfaction. Strategic Healthcare Programs (SHP) measures Livingston’s performance versus state and national benchmarks. “Re-hospitalization Within 30 days of Start of Care” is a crucial indicator of home healthcare quality. Re-hospitalization rates nationally are as high as 12%. In California we do a little better, 10%. Livingston’s rehospitalization rate of 8% is better than both. SHP also evaluates specific programs. Livingston Hospice numbers for Rating of Excellent (73%) and Symptom Management (96%) are significantly higher than both national and statewide averages. According to Home Health Compare (HHC) 80% of Livingston patients rated Livingston a 9 or 10. Eighty-two percent of Livingston patients would recommend our home health agency to family and friends; this is the highest rating among Ventura County home healthcare agencies. Internally, quality and patient satisfaction oversight starts with our Board of Directors that includes lead nursing officers of Community Memorial Hospital, Los Robles Regional Medical Center, St. John’s Regional Medical Center, and the Ventura County Health Care Agency Ambulatory Care. Livingston adds additional oversight and expertise by engaging a Professional Advisory Board consisting primarily of doctors and nurses. Our Medical Director, clinical leadership, and Quality Improvement Department have responsibility over Livingston’s day to day commitment to quality care and patient satisfaction supporting our outstanding clinicians and caregivers. For 68 years patients and their families have known that choosing Livingston for quality home healthcare is the best choice that can be made in Ventura County. Lanyard K.

Totten Mrs. JoAnn Totten A Gift for Later Y What Happens Later? ou’ve made the generous decision to include Livingston in your will, estate plans or another payable on death asset (retirement account, insurance policy, etc.), but what will happen to the gift after you’ve passed? Many people want to know how the money will be used. Most commonly people do not give direction on how the funds are to be used, trusting the leadership of Livingston to use their gift wisely. This means the gift is unrestricted and can be used for general purposes. Sometimes a particular Livingston program like hospice or subsidized care touches a cord with a donor and they would like to direct the funds to something that has meaning to them. Then there are those who take the long view and want their gift to last in perpetuity. A gift to the Livingston Endowment provides annual income to the agency and the corpus of the gift remains intact. Burt J. Townsend Mrs. Cheryl A.

If your gift has complex or uncommon direction it helps if you confer with us while you are still alive so that we can give you assurance that the terms of your gift will be fulfilled.
