Social Service - Visiting Nurse Alliance of Vermont and New Hampshire
The VNA & Hospice is a compassionate, non-profit healthcare organization committed to providing the highest quality home healthcare and hospice support services to individuals and their families. By keeping Hartford residents out of emergency rooms and hospitals, and reducing the need for relocation to nursing homes, our care offers significant savings in the town’s emergency services and other medical expenses.
VNA & Hospice clients are of all ages and at all stages in life. Services are provided to all in need regardless of ability to pay. Between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010, the VNA & Hospice made 12,338 homecare visits to 511 Hartford residents. This is a 9.4% increase in the number of residents served. The VNA & Hospice absorbed approximately $367,879 in unreimbursed charges.
Home HealthCare: 5,258 home visits to 301 residents with short-term medical or physical needs
Long-term Care: 4,390 home visits to 48 residents with chronic medical problems who needed extended care in their home to avoid admission to a nursing home.
Hospice Services: 1,584 home visits to 56 residents who were in the final stages of their lives.
Maternal and Child Health Services: 1,106 home visits to 106 residents for well baby, preventative and high-tech medical care.
Additionally, residents made visits to VNA & Hospice community clinics for foot care, blood pressure screenings, cholesterol testing and flu shots.
Hartford’s annual appropriation helps the VNA & Hospice meet the demand for quality home healthcare, and to ensure that all who qualify for services will always be able to receive them. On behalf of the people we serve, we thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Jeanne McLaughlin, President (1-888-300-8853)
