Open Arms With Love respects each and every resident, and as they become a part of our extended family we believe it's important that each resident should pass in their own home and familiar surrounding with their loved one and that's why hospice plays such an important role in this facility. As our resident's prognosis change to months and then weeks, we find having hospice on board helps every one who's involve with our resident.
With the extra hand from the Aide who assist with baths, feeding, and assisting with incontinent care etc; to the Nurse who comes in and performs the assessment, working along with the physician in making necessary changes regarding medications; the Chaplain who provides the spiritual guidance and helping family and staff with emotional comfort, to the Social Worker who has to give family members information regarding many issues especially preparation of burial/cremation.
Having the support from the Hospice community has been extremely helpful. So, therefore, we truly emphasize on the need of this service in our facility to continue enhancing the wonderful care we provide here at Open Arms With Love Inc. Without the partnership of hospice, most of our residents would not be able to pass with dignity and grace in their own home away from home.
Also, we do accept residents who receive assistance through the Diversion Program provided by the state of Florida. The Diversion Program enables seniors who financially could not afford to pay the required monthly amount for an ALF to do so by paying a portion contracted with the ALF and the remaining balance by the resident or responsible party. We currently accept members of American Eldercare Plan Long Term Diversion Program and Universal Healthcare Community Diversion Program. The Diversion programs are funded by the State to anyone who meets Medicare criteria and must be eligible for Medicaid. I would be more than happy to discuss the program with you.
