Covenant Hospice awards Heart of Hospice to Eden Springs Nursing Home
Tallahassee, FL - Covenant Hospice recently presented the Heart of Hospice Award to Eden Springs Nursing Home upon receipt of a hospice consult at Capital Regional Medical Center on a very sick patient with specific needs. Covenant Hospice worked with the case manager in trying to obtain options for placement and care for the patient. After extensive review of the patients’ needs and multiple attempts at placement of the patient fell through, Eden Springs Nursing Home was positively receptive to evaluating the patient for placement and was willing to accept her even though her case was complex.
Covenant Hospice along with Eden Springs Administrator, Chuck Cascio, were able to coordinate and initiate nursing care, respiratory care and education to the staff with regards to the patients special needs. Inpatient care was extended to the patient by the Covenant Hospice staff in collaboration with Eden Springs staff.
The patient, for the first time in months, was actually smiling and was happy to be at the facility and out of the hospital. She had a wonderful weekend with her family and was content. The patient unfortunately did pass away just a few days later. The compassionate dedicated employees for the Eden Springs Nursing Home were instrumental in providing this patient with loving care in her last days for this we are grateful.
Thank you to Eden Springs for allowing Covenant Hospice to work with you as a team to provide our patient and her family happiness and peace in her last days, which is the intended mission for both of us.
