"The services we provide are truly life-changing."

Scott Scherpenberg, Managing Director of American Premier throughout Maricopa County and parts of Pinal County, describes what makes our organization different: we're there at
EVERY stage of your family's healthcare journey.

Depending on what your loved one needs:
Home Health
Getting patients better recovering from surgery, rebuilding strength, restoring independence.
Palliative Care
Managing serious illness symptoms while continuing treatment—improving quality of life regardless of prognosis.
Hospice
Supporting the end-of-life journey, which Scott acknowledges is "a very hard journey" but with the right clinicians, that journey can be made with peace, dignity, and comfort.

What families don't realize:
You don't have to figure this out alone or start over with unfamiliar providers as needs change.
American Premier provides all three levels of care. As your parent's needs evolve, you're working with a team that already knows your family.

Lisa Liveringhouse's story shows this: her mother Wanda received all three services—home health, palliative care, and hospice with the same trusted American Premier team
throughout her entire journey.

Scott's commitment "with the right clinicians, which we have" is the standard he holds every team member to: care he would want for his own family.
Your family's healthcare journey may require different support over time. One trusted organization providing all three means:

Continuity of care
Established relationships
No gaps during transitions

We're here at every stage. Making an impact. Providing life-changing care.

To the exhausted caregiver reading this on December 26:

You just pulled off the holidays for your aging parent throughout Maricopa County and parts of Pinal County. You managed medications, monitored food restrictions, prevented falls, coordinated family visits, maintained routines, kept everyone happy, and worked your regular job. And now you're exhausted. Overwhelmed. And feeling guilty for being relieved it's over.

You need permission to hear this:

- Taking today to rest isn't selfish
- Ordering takeout isn't failing
- Declining New Year's hosting isn't letting anyone down
- Asking for professional help isn't giving up
Signs you need more support:

Already dreading next holiday
Feeling angry or resentful
Physical symptoms (headaches, insomnia)
Withdrawing from things you enjoy
Fantasizing about escape

The truth:
The holidays just proved you can't sustain this alone.
And you shouldn't have to.
Professional home healthcare isn't about replacing you it's about supporting you so caregiving doesn't consume you.
The best gift you can give your parent in 2026? A healthy, rested, emotionally present version of yourself.
That requires acknowledging what the holidays just taught you: you need help.

The gift list you can't forget: Your parent's medications.

Holiday chaos throughout Maricopa County and parts of Pinal County disrupts routines—including medication schedules that keep chronic conditions stable.
Common mistakes that land seniors in the ER:

- Missed doses during travel or hosting
- Wrong timing due to schedule changes
- Medication-food interactions with rich meals
- Running out during pharmacy holiday closures
Critical for:

Heart medications (blood pressure, cardiac meds)
Diabetes medications (insulin timing)
Blood thinners (Warfarin, Eliquis)
Seizure medications
Parkinson's medications

Your holiday medication checklist:
- Set phone alarms for med times (even during parties)
- Pre-fill weekly pill organizers before travel
- Pack 2-3 extra days for travel delays
- Refill prescriptions BEFORE December 23
- Brief hosting family on medication schedule
- Keep medication list in wallet for emergencies

One missed dose might seem minor. For seniors with multiple conditions, it can trigger cascade effects leading to ER visits.
Don't let medication mistakes ruin your holidays.
Professional home healthcare maintains medication schedules even during celebrations nurses ensure doses stay on track.

"My experience with grief creates empathy I can offer patients and their loved ones."

Meet Julia, our chaplain and bereavement coordinator throughout Maricopa County and parts of Pinal County. She shares what many families don't realize about hospice care: it's not just about managing pain it's about honoring the whole person.

Julia describes the privilege of meeting patients who have lived full, wonderful lives and ensuring their last days include:

Dignity and comfort
Pain-free care
Spiritual support
Living their final days to the very fullest

What you might not know: Chaplain services are INCLUDED in hospice care. Julia doesn't replace your family's faith community she complements it with spiritual support specifically trained for end-of-life needs.

She meets spiritual needs for both your loved one AND your family during this profound transition.

Her words "It's such an honor and I really enjoy the people" remind us that hospice professionals witness the culmination of entire lifetimes, offering presence, dignity, and spiritual comfort when it matters most.

If your family is navigating end-of-life decisions, spiritual care isn't an afterthought. It's ensuring your loved one's final chapter honors their whole life story.

Thank you, Julia, for the honor you bring to this sacred work.

Flu Season = Predictable Surge. Strategic Home Health = Preventable Complications.

Healthcare partners throughout Maricopa County and parts of Pinal County: December-February brings 3-5x higher hospitalization rates for adults 65+ with influenza and pneumonia.

The numbers:

70-85% of flu deaths occur in adults 65+
30-40% develop pneumonia complications
Average hospital stay: 5-7 days
Medicare cost per admission: $10,000-15,000
Significant readmission risk

Why seniors experience worse outcomes:

Weakened immune response
Chronic condition complications (CHF, COPD, diabetes)
Polypharmacy treatment challenges
Functional decline often permanent
Secondary bacterial pneumonia increases mortality

Strategic home health prevents escalation:
Early intervention protocol:

Daily monitoring of high-risk patients
Recognition of subtle changes (confusion before fever)
Immediate physician coordination for antivirals (most effective within 48 hours)
Hydration/nutrition support
Oxygen monitoring for respiratory conditions

Impact on your quality metrics:
Home health partnerships reduce:

Preventable ER visits
Hospital admissions
30-day readmissions
Functional decline

Transform flu season from crisis management to preventive excellence.

"We enjoyed learning how they were used."

Meet Diane Voisan, one of our dedicated volunteers throughout Maricopa County and parts of Pinal County. Diane and her fellow sewers from Valley sewing groups
create handmade comfort items for hospice patients but what keeps them coming back isn't just the sewing. It's the feedback.

Shelby Burnett, our Volunteer Coordinator, provides impact statements showing:

How the items are received by patients and families
The ways they're being used
Ideas for improvement
New types of items needed

This feedback loop keeps volunteers connected to the mission and ensures what they create truly serves patients' needs.

Why this matters for your family:
When your loved one receives a handmade quilt, lap blanket, or comfort item from American Premier, it comes from volunteers who:

Know their work makes a difference (they've heard the stories)
Continuously improve their contributions (they get feedback)
Stay engaged long-term (they feel valued and connected)
Create with purpose (they understand patient needs)

Diane says it perfectly: "We enjoyed making things for her, we enjoyed learning how they were used, we enjoyed seeing how they were used."
That's the difference between a volunteer program that exists on paper and one that genuinely enhances patient care.

Thank you, Diane, for your dedication and for sharing what makes volunteer work meaningful.

Taking your parent home from the hospital? The next 30 days are critical.
Nearly 20% of patients throughout Maricopa County and parts of Pinal County return to the hospital within 30 days of discharge. Here's why the transition home is so dangerous:
What goes wrong:

New medications causing confusion and errors
Warning signs families don't recognize
No professional monitoring for days or weeks
Complex discharge instructions that don't make sense
Families suddenly responsible for medical care

One minute your parent has:

24/7 hospital monitoring
Immediate medical response
Professional care teams
Clear medical oversight

The next minute, you're home with:

A stack of confusing paperwork
Multiple new medications
No idea what's normal vs. concerning
Hope nothing goes wrong before the follow-up appointment in 2 weeks

This is terrifying. And preventable.
Professional home healthcare fills the dangerous gap:

Skilled nurses monitor recovery at home
Medication management prevents errors
Warning signs caught early before ER-level crisis
Direct communication with doctors
Family education on what to watch for
24/7 support when you have questions

The first 30 days determine whether recovery succeeds or fails. Professional support during this window isn't a luxury it's essential for safe recovery.
Don't navigate hospital discharge alone.
