Resources
Loving Heart Hospice Foundation has researched many websites to ensure you are getting the best information available when looking to help your loved one. Some of the sites we think you will find informative is the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. The information on this website will help you to better understand end of life care. They also offer information in Spanish.
Another website we feel may help you is Medicare.org. Financial help is always a concern and Medicare plays a major part in hospice care. This site can answer many questions you may have, like, what doctors take Medicare, nursing home alternatives and compare drug plans.
And lastly, The Joint Commission or JCAHO.ORG. Being a member of this organization, which monitors performance of care giving, Loving Heart Hospice Foundation and TLC Home Hospice, sets the standard of care just that much higher. For further hospice information see www.tlchomehospice.com
The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations or (JCAHO) standards deal with organizational quality of care issues and the safety of the environment in which care is provided. It is important to note that not all hospices are JCAHO accredited, and this accreditation serves as a stamp of excellence. This accreditation status applies to all services offered directly or through written agreement(s) by Tender Loving Care Home Hospice that has been surveyed by the Joint Commission, including the home care services as providers of pharmaceutical, equipment management, and hospice services.
For further information on JCAHO, call our office at (630) 792-5000 or visit www.jcaho.org.
