Why Choose Home Care Plus?

  

Maybe it happened unexpectedly-a fall led to a hospital stay and suddenly your mom requires constant help once she is discharged-or perhaps you and your parents have discussed it all along and hiring a professional in home care provider was the natural next step to maintaining their independence for as long as possible. Either way, it is a decision that is not taken lightly by a family. Bringing someone into your or your loved one's home requires that you put your trust in a home care company to provide professional, dependable, caring help.

Heart Healthy Recipe

Watermelons are a quintessential summer fruit, and few things are as refreshing as a cool slice of watermelon on a hot day. Watermelon boasts many health benefits, including antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. According to whfoods.org, the high lycopene content of watermelon offers cardiovascular benefits and fights inflammation--the riper the melon the more potent the health perks! Try adding watermelon to your favorite salsa, or make a watermelon, feta, red onion and tomato salad.

What is Hospice Care?

The goal of hospice care is to meet the end-of-life health care needs of terminally ill patients on the patient's terms. Hospice care aims to Improve quality of life for terminally ill individuals and help them manage the physical and emotional pain they may be facing. Hospice often brings peace of mind to both the patient and their loved ones as they enter their final weeks and days. Many health insurance plans and Medicare/Medicaid* cover hospice care (check with your insurance provider for eligibility requirements). 

For more information on hospice care in South Carolina, visit Hospice Care of South Carolina. For information on Medicare/Medicaid hospice eligibility requirements, read the Medicare Hospice Benefits pamphlet.

Hurricane Season is Here!

With one named hurricane under our belts, there are no excuses not to be prepared for a stormy season. It's a good idea to have a basic supply kit including food, water and other essentials (click here for a full list of items) as well as a family emergency and evacuation plan. For more information on preparing for a hurricane, visit NOAA's National Hurricane website or Ready.gov.
