This is what you have written over four cardiac disease mostl failure, chronic pulmonary disease and coming sheen.

Additional help for dementia patients.

All that we will be i the perfect course.

The names of those appropriately heart types journey clear journey and memorable journey.

Each of thes is fossilized to course to tailor those specific needs that you mentioned, heart disease, the chronic pulmonary disease and dementia.

The difference in these programs that were trying to pierce the house.

This one size fits all four patients all talk specifically about how to touch during failure is the process where the hell eventually weakens something that oftentimes don't teach medical students are raising property for 50 producers in just five years of potential limitations and talk to the really understand the gravity o what they had sold all a touch of health fairness was put in a touch but you humans and so wit for the 50 chance of death within five years is really important management symptoms of these patients can live longer sure how touch to specifically looks at the process so often we get calls.

All of a sudden, i can't believe i'm in trouble.

But if were talking with the patient on a regular basis for we can see when the feet start to swell the rate starts to go up and what to them as a friend of daughter can't read actually started several birds really are.

So far, the core always programs his contact with the patients and their families as often the letters home.

Appropriate medications to help with the fluid overload so you meditation, breathing medications (sorry of the nurse and nurse practitioners on call all the time the culture what should i do so little to do possible course one of our major ambitions is for them to have to going back to the emergency room for the long and costly emergency room visits absolutely touched briefly on it on the benefits of these programs have being that caustic mckay said that connectivity of involving a one-size-fits-all opportunity and a lot of times think especially with with hospice without homecare it really is a one-size-fits-all approach and were learning the science experience that that's not necessarily as needed for a lot of a set he briefly touched on that but i'm a little bit more to the benefits of having this defect program care specific program to allow peopl to go in the hospice on his juvenile right we are actually patients in hospitals, on average length removes one or just if there symptoms you manage perfect voice and not short of breath or special not depressed and better on the date it seems almost self-evident.

It's a struggle with origins of take a moment to differentiate between pelletier and hospice how touch journey does both hospices for patients who to positions of said business is likely less than six months now.

That said part of patients become hospice for years on how to use of business overwhelmed hospitals and that's related to patients who have significant life-threatening illnesses and they are in need of symptom control.

Talk about the three season powder to for limitation coordination and the comfort is the protocol.

Seeing a lot more of those patients who don't fit in a six-month window order still looking for aggressive care still want everything to be thrown out, absolutely, what ever is best possible chance for going to talk about the heart types journey and out is the this is the oldest program correct little bit about the past is that you said you had done.

You are supposed to for extremity from hospice had many patients go back in the first few hundred patients.

The hospital hospital admission are major issues in healthcare and healthcare, patients most common reason patients we admit.

So we work on the tremendous success, such that so much to the cardiologist we work with said can you bring this out and out into the world.

The patient is not quite as see if we can help some with those patients a well.

Plus, we launched the eldercare version of her touche her professor and what the heart is journey clear journey memorable journey, or any other program that leah was able to offer.

How does someone get editing it started and how we begin the process will call for how touch if they come in with the cardiac diagnosis.

We try t do with a clear journey for chronic lung disease.

Same sort of things calling specialized medications.

Additional education any of her palliative care patients are hospice patients we actually do a screening incident system and appropriate for the clear journey for the removal to provide additional education equipment for the families will be using ones is present physically but also because it is totally proportional when there demented dispelling their stuff process of controlling it is a weighted blanket like a comfrey bar extra weight as part of some things to do on a person with: we had paid one of worth and had a virtual reality program work.

Patient was dementia to go fishing on lake doing their best to put that one on hold for to look forward to would.

The really cool perfect something to look forward to th course you are always on the leading edge of science and study and bring the best care cost to the patient and their families have any questions you can always visit them online.
