Updates with Bliss: Home Care, Home Health or Hospice?

Bliss Brown returns with a new episode of the Home Care You Say Updates podcast. Ever find yourself nodding along when someone mentions "home care" or "home health," secretly wondering if they mean the exact same thing? You are not alone! In the second episode of our educational series, we are tearing down the confusing healthcare jargon to help you become an advocacy powerhouse. Whether you are getting ready to speak to a legislator or just trying to understand the system, this episode breaks down everything you need to know about Home Care, Home Health, and Hospice.  In This Episode, You'll Learn: Home Care and Home Health Basics: We compare all three side-by-side and talk about whether they generally fall under Medicare or Medicaid. Busting Hospice Myths: A common misconception is that entering hospice means "giving up". In reality, hospice is specialized care for those facing a terminal illness, with a focus on maximizing comfort, dignity, and quality of life for both the patient and their entire family.
