Hospice Help

Do you remember everything you hear and read?  If you are like me, often times it goes in one ear and out the other!  We have many programs here at the HCQU to help during difficult times.  One of the most difficult times we experience in our lives is the passing of a person in our care. 

Did you know we offer a hospice program?  This program is to help agencies and their staff to support themselves, others they support, and the person in hospice.  Providing hospice care at home is one of the most honorable, yet toughest things anyone can do for another person.  Through my own experience, it seems like always waiting for that last breath, thinking of 30 more things I want to say before that last breath, trying not to talk so I am not disturbing anyone, and obviously…second guessing everything going on.         

We are all aware of the saying “you can’t help anyone if you can’t help yourself.”   Take a deep breath, call the HCQU.  We are here to help.  We will provide items that will help you to help care for the person and for yourself.   Hospice bag may include:  blanket, frame, coloring pages, snacks, and resources, etc.,

If you know of anyone in need of hospice support, please contact us at Milestone HCQU West. Call 724-283-0990 ; e-mail hcquinfo@milestonepa.org.
