"American Premier face my mother and family such great care."

This beautiful review celebrates the compassionate care received from American Premier throughout Maricopa County. Shared was that Erika, the mother's nurse, was always on time for visits and had a great rapport. She often brought treats, and Jo's mother was always praising the care she received throughout Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, and Glendale.

Julia, our chaplain, was always calling to check on the mother and family. After Jo's mother passed, Julia continued calling to check on the family, providing ongoing bereavement support.

Jo writes: "If anyone needs hospice care I highly recommend American Premier."

This is what hospice care should be. Nurses who build genuine relationships. Chaplains who support families through grief. A team that shows up, provides excellent care, and treats every patient with dignity and warmth.

Thank you, Jo, for sharing your mother's story and for trusting American Premier during this difficult time. Erika and Julia exemplify our commitment to compassionate care.

"It's them going the extra mile to really ensure that patient has that perfect visit at the end of the day."

Scott Scherpenberg, American Premier's Home Health Nursing Leader, shares what he values most about our team throughout Maricopa County.

"Our team has such amazing clinical experience, but the qualities that I appreciate most are their collaborative nature, being team players, always willing to go that next step. If that's making a sandwich for a patient who can't do it themselves, if that is taking the garbage out after a visit, these are things we're not there to do, but it's them going the extra mile."

This is the Perfect Visit in action throughout Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, and Glendale. Clinical excellence matters, but so does making a sandwich for someone who's hungry. Taking out garbage so a patient doesn't worry about it. Seeing what needs to be done and doing it.

Our team doesn't ask "Is this in my job description?" They ask "What does this patient need right now?" That mindset defines American Premier's approach to home health and hospice care. Watch Scott share what makes our team exceptional.

Occupational Therapy Month: Restoring Independence, One Daily Activity at a Time

April is Occupational Therapy Month, celebrating the professionals who help patients throughout Maricopa County regain the ability to perform daily activities that give life meaning and maintain independence.

After stroke, surgery, or serious illness, simple tasks become overwhelming. Buttoning a shirt. Preparing a meal. Getting dressed. Bathing safely. These activities determine whether someone can remain at home.

American Premier's occupational therapists work with patients in their homes throughout Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, and Glendale, teaching adaptive techniques for one-handed tasks, recommending equipment for safety, training on energy conservation, and assessing homes for fall hazards.

The difference between OT and PT? Physical therapists help you move. Occupational therapists help you live. They ensure you can dress yourself, prepare meals, manage medications, and perform activities that maintain dignity and quality of life.

This Occupational Therapy Month, we recognize our OT team's dedication to helping patients reclaim independence. Their creative problem-solving, clinical expertise,
and genuine commitment make home recovery possible.

"I have been on the other side of things. I know how key it is to have a hospice team behind you."

Julia, American Premier's bereavement coordinator and chaplain, brings a perspective few can offer. She's experienced hospice care from both sides.
As a family member, Julia walked the hospice journey four times, supporting her mother, father, mother-in-law, and father-in-law through end-of-life care. She knows
firsthand how crucial hospice teams are during life's most difficult moments.

Now, as part of American Premier's team throughout Maricopa County, Julia brings that understanding to every family she serves throughout Phoenix, Mesa,
Scottsdale, and Glendale.

"We love our patients. We love our patient families. I know I'm needed and my coworkers and I are close, so I know they need me too and I need them in my life."
This is what makes American Premier different. Team members like Julia who understand grief not just professionally, but personally. Who know what families need because they've been those families.

Watch Julia share her story.

Administrative Professionals Week: The Foundation of Everything We Do

This week, we celebrate Administrative Professionals Week by recognizing the essential team members who keep American Premier running throughout Maricopa County. Our administrative professionals coordinate patient schedules, manage referrals, handle insurance authorizations, answer family calls, maintain medical records, and solve countless problems behind the scenes throughout Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, and Glendale.

They're often the first voice families hear when calling for care and the last voice confirming details before a visit. While our clinical teams provide direct patient care, our administrative professionals ensure that care happens seamlessly. They schedule visits, coordinate equipment, communicate with physicians, process admissions, and manage complex logistics making home health and hospice services possible.

Their work requires organization, compassion, attention to detail, and grace under pressure. They manage urgent requests, provide clarity during stressful moments, and keep families informed.

To our administrative team at American Premier, thank you. Your dedication, professionalism, and care make everything else possible.

National Healthcare Volunteer Week: Celebrating the Heart of American Premier

IV Antibiotics: Clinic vs Your Living Room

Two patients need IV antibiotic treatment for serious infections throughout Maricopa County. Same medical need. Dramatically different experiences.

Clinic-based infusion:
Wake early. Get dressed, manage pain. Drive 30 minutes through traffic. Check in, wait 20 to 45 minutes past appointment. Sit in busy infusion center. Receive IV antibiotics 1 to 2 hours. Drive home exhausted. Repeat three times weekly for six weeks.

American Premier home infusion throughout Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, Glendale:
Skilled nurse arrives at your home. You're in your own chair, wearing whatever you want. Nurse starts IV, monitors treatment. You watch TV, read, rest. Treatment completes. You're already home. Repeat three times weekly for six weeks.

Same antibiotic. Same duration. Same monitoring. Completely different impact on quality of life.

American Premier brings IV antibiotics, hydration therapy, TPN, chemotherapy support medications directly to patients' homes. Eliminates transportation barriers, reduces infection exposure, saves time, maintains dignity and comfort.

Patients don't sacrifice safety or quality. Our skilled nurses bring clinical expertise, proper equipment, systematic monitoring. We coordinate with physicians, track response, intervene if complications arise. Medicare and most insurance cover home infusion when medically appropriate.

Why choose the clinic waiting room when your living room is an option?
