Medicare Open Enrollment began October 15 and runs until December 7. This is your chance to review, change, or join Medicare plans, ensuring you have the right coverage for the upcoming year.

Some key things to keep in mind during Open Enrollment:
- *Review Your Current Plan*: Take a close look at your current Medicare plan to see if it still meets your needs.
- *Explore New Options*: Research and compare different Medicare plans to find the best fit for you.
- *Check for Changes*: Verify if your current providers are still part of your plan's network and if any medications have been added or removed.

We encourage individuals to visit Medicare.gov, local Veterans Affairs or the South Plains Association of Governments (SPAG) for further information about coverage and for individuals to know both the changes and options within their current plan or alternate plans.

The bottom line is to remember you have a choice when it comes to your health, and it’s important to find the best plan that works for you or your loved one.

Today is Veterans Day, in which we honor all military veterans who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Less than one percent of our nation serves in the military. That tiny percentage represents those who have volunteered their service in uniform to protect the other 99 percent of our nation.

With great humility, it is with honor that today we appreciate our veterans. To those who prove beyond words their dedication to the land of the free and the home of the brave.

You may have seen the use of Madison Family Companies while referring to Compassion Personal Care Services and Compassion Home Health Care in Lubbock in addition to Amarillo’s BSA Compassion Home Health and Compassion At Home. Why?

The answer is simple. All four entities are locally owned and family run by two full generations of the Madison family. With a calling to healthcare more than 40 years ago, Dana Madison, DNP, MBA, BSN, RN and her husband Ronnie, MBA, BSME began their focus in building businesses to best serve the west Texas and panhandle areas. Success was found and now continues with the second generation of all three Madison sons. We thought it important for you to know each of the family members and their specific focus:

Dana Madison is Owner and Administrator of Amarillo’s BSA Compassion Home Health and Lubbock’s newly opened Compassion Home Health Care.
Ronnie Madison serves as Owner and Chief Financial Officer for all companies.
Their sons have followed as second generation. Russell Madison is Vice President of Business Development for both Home Health Care companies; Bradley Madison is Administrator of the Personal Care Services side through Compassion At Home and Compassion Personal Care Services. Michael Madison serves as Vice President of Revenue Cycle Management for all companies.

Madison Family Companies embodies true family values through a shared commitment to you and your family’s health. With the Madisons and dedicated staff members, we are honored to remind those in need of services that with compassion in your home, you are never alone.

Madison Family Companies is proud to announce the opening of Compassion Home Health Care in Lubbock. The new agency is a CHAP accredited, Medicare certified, and State licensed home health agency providing skilled nursing, therapy, medical social worker, and home care aide services to adults, with a focus on seniors, in Lubbock and surrounding communities.

Locally owned and family-operated, Compassion Home Health Care boasts an experienced leadership staff with combined experience of 100+ years in the home health care industry.

There are many reasons why people may need home health care. Some individuals are recovering from surgery or have a chronic condition requiring ongoing care. Working closely with medical practitioners, Compassion Home Health Care creates an individualized care plan to meet the needs of the patient.

Recovery is much easier in the comfort of home – and studies show that home health care has proven to reduce hospitalization.

Not only is home health care preferred by most people, but it is also an affordable choice. We all have a responsibility to protect the Medicare system so that it is available for our children and grandchildren when they need it. Home health care helps achieve that goal by keeping people in their home.

Individuals are encouraged to contact Compassion Home Health Care to learn more as we continue this lifelong commitment to home health care. As always, our mission is to provide compassionate care in the comfort of home, and our team is committed to being a partner in your recovery. Stay tuned for our next blog explaining the umbrella name of Madison Family Companies and how two generations have come together for compassionate care.

It seems as though the summer has flown by, but believe it or not, it’s already time to start gearing up for the flu and pneumonia season. Influenza, commonly referred to as the flu, is a serious illness that can affect anyone.

Nationwide studies show that the flu, and related complications like pneumonia kill several thousand each year, and that only 64 percent of persons over age 65 receive a flu shot each year.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends an annual flu shot for:

• Everyone 6 months of age or older
• Residents of long-term care facilities housing persons with chronic medical conditions
• Anyone who has a long-term health problem such as:
-heart disease -kidney disease
-lung disease -metabolic disease, such as diabetes
-asthma -anemia, and other blood disorders

The influenza viruses change often, so the influenza vaccine is updated each year. Protection from the flu develops in about two weeks after getting the shot and may last up to a year.

However, the most common misconception is that people can get the flu from the vaccine itself. This is not true. Actually, viruses in the vaccine have been killed, so people cannot get the flu from the vaccine.

September is the best month to receive the flu vaccination, as that’s when the flu season begins, and the vaccination lasts throughout the season – which usually ends in March.

The pneumococcal vaccine helps to prevent pneumococcal pneumonia which is a serious infection of the lungs. The pneumococcal vaccine is recommended to be taken every five years. Traditional Medicare insurance will cover the cost of the yearly influenza vaccine and a pneumococcal vaccine every five years.

The Madison Family Companies have long been part of the West Texas and Panhandle regions. From BSA ComPassion Home Health and their sister branch of ComPassion at Home (CAH) in Randall County, to ComPassion Personal Care Services (CPCS) in the Lubbock region. Our home-owned and locally-run businesses began with the passion to assist in the process of better health. We’re honored to officially announce ComPassion Home Health Care now in the Lubbock region.

Home health care is more than just convenient, it’s good medicine. Home health care blends professional care with the warmth of the home environment and offers people the opportunity to live in the comfort of home while receiving the care they need.

Our team chose this career as personal caregivers with an emphasis on compassion. Our team spends time knowing the individual needs of all those we serve.

We are often asked to help individuals decipher the difference between Personal Care Services and Home Health Care.

If you need assistance for you or a loved one to help with tasks such as light housekeeping, meal prep, and most of all – companionship – you need Personal Care Services. In the Amarillo region, we serve under the name ComPassion At Home. In the Lubbock region, we serve under the name Compassion Personal Care Services (CPCS).

In need of more extended care to include recovering from illness, injury, a recent medical procedure or managing chronic illness? That falls under home health services. Again, in the Amarillo region, we serve under the name BSA-Compassion Home Health, and in the Lubbock Region, under the name Compassion Home Health Care.

Two services: One mission. Compassionate care in the comfort of home. Locally-owned and family run, we are honored to say, with Compassion in your home, you are never alone.
