About Tammy

I enjoy the opportunity to impact clients' lives and make a difference to them. I appreciate the chance to get to know clients and their families and become an integral part of their lives. Person-centered care promotes choice, purpose and meaning in daily life where one is supported in achieving the level of physical, mental and social well-being . This goal honors the importance of keeping the person at the center of the care planning and decision-making process. In person directed care, individual choice directs lifestyle, care, systems and daily routine.

Hospice Companion and Caregiver

I took care of caseloads that came from my internship at Kindred at Home hospice (PeopleFirst Hospice). I went to the patients' homes or long-term care facilities on a schedule that was in line with the volunteer plan of care to help them. This is what I did: I told the Social Worker and/or Volunteer Coordinator about changes in the patient's condition. I also made sure to write down that these changes or concerns had been told about and to whom. I sent the completed Volunteer Companion Visit form to the Volunteer Coordinator within one week of each patient visit, following the agency's rules. I also followed the rules of the organization and worked with other people on the interdisciplinary team.
