Hospice Home Care volunteers across Arkansas and Mississippi log nearly 1,000 hours each month providing companionship, comfort, and support to patients and their families during the end-of-life journey. During this era of uncertainty, when time is short, but the days are long, comfort is knowing that there are individuals willing to bridge the gap for isolated hospice patients.

Family caregivers often feel alone and unsupported in their role. One hospice organization is spreading a wide safety-net of virtual and hands-on hospice care options available 24 hours a day, every day of the year, but its most unique feature focuses on the 128 evening, night, and weekend hours each week.

At a Northwest Arkansas Hospital, Mom and Dad delivered a beautiful baby amid the chaos of COVID19. Nothing out of the ordinary, ten fingers and ten toes were counted, perfect in every way. Strict new rules are in place to keep everyone safe. Dad was the only one allowed with Mom during labor and delivery.

Hospice has always been a critical part of healthcare, but never more so than now. Hospice Home Care is prepared with the needed equipment, supplies and resources to keep patients and team members safe at home during the current viral crisis. As the coronavirus spreads and the public health crisis grows, Hospice is a solution that helps patients and families from overwhelmed hospitals.
