Alternative Senior Care Holds Hospice Training
For those not directly involved in hospice care, hospice is often a misunderstood and scary term for many people. Recently, Alternative Senior Care conducted hospice training to develop understanding and dispel the fear surrounding this very beneficial service.
Each year, ASC conducts “champion level” hospice training for our personal assistants. We’ve also opened this training to other professionals and the general public. Back on September 26th, forty-one people took advantage of the opportunity to attend this important training event. We’d like to thank Knute Nelson Hospice for providing the education and use of their beautiful Grand Arbor facility.
Although not a hospice agency, ASC supports families through the process. We partner with hospice agencies throughout our service area to help patients and their families navigate this very challenging time in their lives. We take on tasks that the family is uncomfortable performing or maybe they simply don’t have time to “do it all”. We bring peace of mind to a very difficult situation.
Lainie recalled her favorite subject in school was Home Economics,
“I always loved cooking, cleaning, organizing the home, and caregiving; all the things we do best at Alternative Senior Care!”
"I’ve learned a lot from my experiences for the past 30 years, caregiving for seniors, children and family members. Being a part of Alternative Senior Care is a privilege for me because I feel every day is an opportunity to find ways to bless others, especially in my own community. Overseeing our day-to-day operations at Alternative Senior Care, allows me to make sure our values and mission statement is implemented in all that we do to make each client feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. “
