This week, just before attending training on trip and fall prevention, the Miles & St. Andrews Home Health & Hospice team took a few moments out of their hectic schedules to celebrate National Home Care & Hospice Month.

November is the time when the home care and hospice staff and volunteers from all across the country join together to celebrate their vital healthcare role. Home care and hospice are cost-effective healthcare options that allow people to get the professional help they need in their own homes surrounded by the family, friends and pets they love. Miles & St. Andrews Home Health & Hospice has grown far beyond basic professional nursing and supportive services. Over the past year, it provided nursing, physical, occupational, and speech therapies, counseling, as well as laboratory, hospice and personal care services to 827 local residents in their homes.

“Caring for our patients and their families is a real privilege. I am so proud of the outstanding work you all do. It is truly an honor to work with such an outstanding team, and I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart,” said Kathy Bean Executive Director of Miles & St. Andrews Home Health & Hospice.
