During Healthcare Human Resources Week, we are proud to honor our HR professionals who keep the heart of our HospiceCare Team beating strong!

Ashley King, Director of Human Resources & Volunteer Services, joined our team a year ago, bringing with her more than 20 years of HR experience in the healthcare sector. Her new ideas, energy, and leadership skills perfectly complement the hard work and dedication of our long-time employees, Angie Matthews, Payroll & Retirement Analyst, who has been with us 33 years, and Stephanie James, Employment & HR Specialist, here 19 years.

Each exemplifies what it means to be healthcare HR professionals. They champion compassion in every interaction, foster a sense of belonging and community among staff, and demonstrate unwavering commitment to our employees. We are so fortunate to have them managing such a vital component of our organization.

Thank you, Ashley, Angie and Stephanie, for all you do for us every day here at HospiceCare!

Our hospice social workers are vocal advocates for patients and their families, helping in a variety of ways to ensure the needs of the patient and the family are met.

Hospice social workers help manage physical, emotional, familial and financial stressors, connect families with outside support services and provide crisis care, as needed, all while implementing the patient’s advance directives and end-of-life care plan.

We like to say that social workers are the glue that hold our Hospice Team together, working with doctors, nurses, CNAs, counselors, chaplains and volunteers to maintain and improve the quality of life for our patients and their families.

To learn more about how our social workers can benefit you and your loved ones, please call 304-768-8523.

Yes! If, after receiving hospice care for a time, a patient chooses to seek curative treatments again or wants to enter a clinical study for a new medication or procedure, they can withdraw from hospice care at any time.

Additionally, if a patient’s condition stabilizes or improves enough that they no longer meet medical eligibility requirements, the patient is discharged from the hospice program. When this happens, their Medicare benefits revert to the coverage they had before entering hospice. Discharged patients are eligible to re-enroll at any time so long as they meet the medical eligibility criteria when they re-apply.

If you have any questions related to hospice or end-of-life care, please don’t hesitate to call us at 304-768-8523. We are here to help!
