Today is World Hospice and Palliative Care Day ❤️
Many of Qualicare's trusted partners include local hospice and palliative care centers that work closely with our teams to ensure the best possible care for our clients. End-of-life care requires compassionate care and support for many emotional, physical, and spiritual needs. And when care teams are working seamlessly together, it can make all the difference for clients and their families.
We look forward to making a difference in the lives of your loved ones. Reach out today to learn more: www.qualicare.com
At Qualicare, we pride ourselves for our 360° approach to care, which means that our caregivers often think outside of the box to make sure their clients and their families needs are met.
Take Mario for instance, who wanted to ensure his client's final moments were shared with his kids who all lived in different parts of the country. It's moments like those that make all the difference ❤️.

The bond between client and caregiver is oftentimes extremely special. ❤️
While many elderly clients tend to resist getting help, once they start receiving care and forming close relationships it becomes difficult to remember life any other way.
At Qualicare, we not only focus on the physical but emotional aspects of care too. Reach out today if your loved one could use some companionship and support. www.qualicare.com

Last week, Nurse Linda talked about the importance of safety when elderly folks take a shower.
So, what should you look for in a shower chair? She explains that the most important features include:

2. A backrest and
3. Armrests for stability
Your loved one may not feel they need one now, so express to them the sense of relief that the family will feel if they are protected from a fall. When your loved one could use additional support with daily tasks, Qualicare can help! www.qualicare.com

When it comes to men's health, we may need to change our mindset.
Nurse Linda explains that as we age, oftentimes it can be difficult to recognize that we might not be as strong as we once were, which is tough for most men to come to terms with. If we change our mindset and learn new ways to support our aging loved ones, it could make all the difference as they navigate any challenges being faced. #menshealthweek https://loom.ly/lNTnlag
Imagine what it would be like if you couldn’t say a word. Our caring nurses and caregivers are here to lend a helping hand or voice if given the opportunity.
Listen to Nurse Linda’s incredible story about Lauren and the support that Qualicare provides to help improve the quality of life for our amazing clients. #ALS #voiceofcare #care360
Today is International Nurses Day!
Nurses face a lot of challenges, so it's easy to wonder what they love about their job. To answer this burning question, we asked Linda Larson, a dedicated nurse and care expert who has been working alongside Qualicare San Diego for nearly 8 years.
Watch the video for her response and look out for weekly Nurse Linda content as she continues to answer tough questions and teach us all about in-home care.
Thank you Linda for all that you do, as well as all nurses for their continued commitment and care. #internationalnursesday #welovenurses #thankyounurses ❤️
