Advance Care Planning & The Conversation

April 16, 2014 was National Healthcare Decisions Day and I was fortunate enough to take part in an amazing event at the Kaiser Center in Oakland. In collaboration with several passionate volunteers and exhibitors from local hospices and healthcare industries, we broke down some of the stigmas and got to talking. Hundreds of people from all walks of life attended; many, sitting down to have The Conversation and complete their Advanced Healthcare Directive.

In our culture, it is taboo to discuss death; it is unsavory to discuss medical care; it is uncomfortable to talk with your friends and family about your wishes should you not be able to speak or act for yourself. But, it is a conversation that has the power to assure that all are put at ease should a serious illness or injury occur. Why aren’t we having … Read More »

Hired Hands is honored to announce Pat has been awarded Napa’s Caregiver of the Month for April 2014.  Pat has been a dedicated caregiver with Hired Hands since May of 2010.

Pat is very neutering and loving. She has stepped up to the plate many times and helped us out last minute for Emergency fill-ins. Her dedication to Hired Hands Homecare is very much appreciated!   Pat is so outstanding that this is Pats SECOND time receiving Employee of the Month.

Thank You Ann!Hired Hands Homecare NapaCaregiver of the Month – Feb 2014

Drum roll please…!  This February, we are proud to tip our hats to Ms. Ann N!

Ann exemplifies dedication and devotion!  We have had the honor of working with Ann for over 6 years, and during that time, she had been dedicated to the same client!  Of course… the family absolutely adores Ann, and says that their mother would not be where she is without Ann, their “Mother Hen”.  One of the most important components of Ann’s job with this particular client is helping her remain active in the community, escorting her to social gatherings, and to her daily pool exercises.  Ann cares a great deal for the clients she works with – always putting their safety and well being first.

This is actually Ann’s second time wearing the … Read More »
