We are quickly approaching the end of the 2024 legislative session. This year has been a busy one for VNAs of Vermont!
Hospice volunteers give a little something extra: their compassion, during times where individuals and their families may need it the most.
Thank you, administrative professionals!
Today is National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD), celebrated every year on April 16. NHDD serves as an important reminder about the important of advance care planning.
Every day Vermont home health and hospice workers face uncertainty when they enter unknown environments to care for the Vermonters who depend on them.
Home health was founded and professionalized by women, and to this day the majority of the home health and hospice workforce is women who work tirelessly to care for our friends, neighbors and loved ones in communities across the country.
The holiday season marks a unique time on the VNAs of Vermont calendar. The end of the year provides an opportunity to look back and reflect on a year full of ups and downs for home health and hospice care, in Vermont and nationally. The year-end also inspires us to look ahead to the opportunities and challenges 2024 may bring, as we prepare for the start of the 2024 legislative session.
VNAs of Vermont member agencies provide compassionate hospice care for Vermonters across the state, focused on promoting dignity and quality of life during a person’s last months. WCAX’s Cat Viglienzoni recently spoke to VNAs of Vermont member agency hospice staff and a family caregiver about what hospice care is and the impact it can have on Vermonters and their family members.
For many of us, this time of year serves as an opportunity to reflect on what we are thankful for; the company of our loved ones, our personal health and safety, or the resiliency of our communities. This year at VNAs of Vermont we are thankful for the dedicated nurses, therapists and other staff who provide compassionate home health and hospice care to our families, friends and neighbors.
In early November the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued the Final Rule regarding Medicare home health services payment rates for CY 2024. The permanent cuts contained in the final rule present a significant threat to the home health and hospice services that thousands of Vermonters depend on to heal or age at home.
