What Home Health and Hospice Resources Are Available to Mesothelioma Patients?
Hospice Care Director Amy Pelegrin explains what home health and hospice resources are available to mesothelioma patients.
This is my new baby. I guess we could call that, something that I wanted to do for patients. So when a patient gets to that point, again, whether it's in the beginning of their diagnosis, or this is something they're choosing would be or not choosing. It's just where they are in this stage of the game. I wanted to make sure that patients know that they have resources to them. I do research different home health and hospices. I've been collaborating with some, you know, I look for their reputation, how many patients they help, their location, what they offer the patients, if insurance covers it, if it doesn't cover it. So when they come to me and ask, who would you recommend? They wanna be having a warm intro They do not wanna be passed around or end up in a facility that is not taking care of them or their loved one if it's a family member. So I just wanna be able to do that for them, make the process a little easier, almost like them finding a doctor, but it's a different type of help.
