• Describe the job duties
• Interview candidate
• Share Scott Family Caregiver Team Principles
• Discuss night time schedule
• Introduce candidate to Mom and Dad
• Give candidate a tour

Wish me luck. Our night time caregiver needs help!

Hospice Drops My Mom

Miracle of all miracles!

My Mom, who was diagnosed as hospice ready in February 2005, is being dropped from hospice after 4 months of service.

She continues to beat the odds.

Although I wil miss the extra layer of support for her, I am glad she continues to improve.

I must now explore how to provide continuity of care for her. I will sign the release papers in Chicago tomorrow.

Dad, on the other hand, will continue to receive hospice service!
