During November, the home care and hospice community honor the millions of nurses, home care aides, therapists and social workers who make a remarkable difference for the patients and families they serve. These heroic caregivers play a central role in our health care system and in homes across the nation. To recognize their efforts, Kadan Homecare commemorates the power of caring, both at the home and in their local communities and join with the National Association for Home Care and Hospice (NAHC) by celebrating November as Home Care and Hospice Month.
NAHC honors National Home Care and Hospice Month with the theme Home Care and Hospice Deliver Freedom. In the coming weeks, NAHC is releasing new studies showing the increasing role of home care and hospice in health care. Whether it is dollars spent or miles driven, the value of home care and hospice is immeasurable.
Home Care Aide Week takes place this week, November 13-19. For over 15 years, NAHC has used the second full week in November to highlight the many aides whose contributions are second to none as they bring personal warmth to the daily work of giving personal care. They play an invaluable role for their patients as caregivers, companions and friends.
“It is highly appropriate in November that we celebrate the nurses, therapists, aides, and other providers who choose to use their lives to serve our country’s aged, disabled, and dying,” said Val J. Halamandaris, NAHC President. “No work is nobler, and no group is more deserving of our respect and admiration. Their goal is helping society’s weakest members live the fullest lives they can. By marrying high tech with high touch, home care professionals and volunteers allow patients to get care at home where they can be with the ones they love,” said Halamandaris.
November is also a month for giving thanks. And so, in celebration of National Home Care and Hospice Month and Thanksgiving, we offer our heartfelt thanks to our Kadan team of caregivers who make a difference every day for our clients. We also celebrate the family caregivers, who we partner with to deliver the highest level of support we can for our client, their loved one.
“Our Kadan caregivers are truly angels,” said Linda Kadan, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Kadan Home Care. “Caring for people the way they do is more than a job – it’s almost like a calling. They work tirelessly to serve our clients not just because they get paid, but because they are passionate about what they do. We are so grateful for our team members and proud to have them as part of our family.”
