This November, we’re proud to join the National Alliance for Care at Home in celebrating National Care at Home Month. We believe everyone deserves high-quality, person-centered care, wherever they call home.

This month, we celebrate the heart and hands behind that mission: our caregivers, clinicians and partners who make that possible every day.

Hospice & Palliative Care Week is a time to recognize the quiet strength and deep compassion of those who care at the end of life. Thank you to our hospice caregivers for turning every moment into a meaningful one by delivering the gift of hospice.

Home health care can be a lifeline for people recovering from illness or injury or managing chronic conditions. It helps patients stay safe and independent at home, with support from skilled professionals. Many don’t realize it’s fully covered by Medicare for those who qualify.

Heart failure is one of the leading causes of hospitalization for older adults and it rarely presents alone — most people with heart failure have at least one other significant cardiovascular condition. Without the right support, living independently becomes a challenge and many end up back in the hospital.

Our evidence-based Heart Failure Empowerment Program helps patients manage symptoms at home with a personalized care plan, interdisciplinary support and close coordination with physicians. Learn more: https://hubs.li/Q03QDJmH0

Thank you Autumn for embodying our SPIRIT core values and sharing them with Amedisys every day!

At Amedisys, we pride ourselves on industry-leading quality of care. This National Healthcare Quality Week, we’re celebrating the measurable impact of our commitment to excellence in both hospice and home health.

In hospice, Amedisys outperforms national CMS averages on all 7 HIS quality measures, and our Hospice Care Index score of 9.7 exceeds the national average of 8.8. And our Code Green protocol ensures patients receive compassionate, timely care, far surpassing national benchmarks for end-of-life visits.

In home health, Amedisys averages 4.2 stars out of 5 for quality of patient care, well above the national average of 3.24 stars. This rating reflects how often our patients improve in key areas like walking, breathing and medication management, and how consistently we deliver timely, effective care.

We’re proud of our clinicians and care teams who make these outcomes possible every day, in every home. Learn more about our quality commitment at: https://hubs.li/Q03PqhnW0

Today is National Wear Red Day. ❤️❤️❤️
Each year, the first Friday in February is celebrated to bring awareness to heart disease, specifically heart disease in women. This disease is one of the top killers of Americans, and *the number 1* killer of women. Much of the research completed has been focused on men with heart disease, and as many American women can tell you, their symptoms did not present the way you typically hear a heart attack or stroke described.
To learn more, visit https://www.goredforwomen.org/en/get-involved/give/wear-red-and-give and https://www.heart.org/ where you'll find research and ways to donate to support further studies.
