Earlier this year, NASHP hosted 16 state teams and federal officials from eight agencies in Washington, DC, for a peer-to-peer learning exchange on innovative models, strategies, and policies to increase access to high-quality respite care services. Check out our new policy brief that outlines the respite innovations shared at the summit that states can replicate: https://loom.ly/v1kl1v4

It can often be difficult to know what's best when it comes to making changes to adult social care. Recent care home closures in Hampshire, around the corner for me, are making way for improvements through investing more money in specialist nursing accommodation. But a public consultation received over 700 responses with most opposing the closures, worried about the uncertainty of what this will bring, and concerned that their views had not been listened to. Making changes to improve social care facilities across the UK is critical, but it's important to ensure we're keeping customers at the heart of it all, listening to their views and concerns every step of the way. https://lnkd.in/eUNkcGtw #RJAdvocacy #MakingQualityCareAReality #AdultSocialCare #CustomersAtTheHeart #CustomerSupport #CustomerConcerns

Training community health workers is so important as they often work in areas where health care services are not easily available. Do you know an organization in Fort Worth who would benefit from receiving Narcan training?

The need to know about hospice. For families, the words hospice care are often met with a wave of uncertainty. As a result, we begin to ask ourselves the difficult questions. Am I giving up on my loved one? Is there more I can do? What are my alternatives? To demystify the road ahead, our team at Ethos Hospice has assembled a guide of what to expect with hospice care. https://nuvi.me/w8c4iy

When we think about hospitals, we usually picture large buildings with expansive parking lots or towering structures in bustling city centers. But this photo shows the 100-year-old administrative office of a small, 12-bed hospital in rural Maine. This hospital operates quite differently from what we typically expect. For every dollar spent, this hospital earns only 30 cents. In a typical healthcare system, such an operation would be shut down, and many have been. But Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital remains open because the community needs it and has made a commitment to keep it alive through contributions. This isn't just a typical hospital; it's the only care option within a two-to-five-hour radius for hundreds of people. It's also the sole social safety net for those with behavioral health and substance use disorders. As a result, the hospital's beds have sheltered young people in crisis, its cafeteria has hosted community meetings, and its cooks have prepared extra food to share with those in need. I invite you to consider how our current fee-for-service model, which often views people as transactions rather than whole individuals, has led to a lack of care and support for many. This model, coupled with insufficient financial and community backing, has hindered access to vital services. How can we change this? #mentalhealth #digitalhealth #populationhealth #valuebasedcare #behavioralhealth

Celebrating The Power of Giving Giving Tuesday lasts all week as we focus on how each and every single act of generosity offers light for those in darkness. At Adventist Health Glendale’s Center for Behavioral Health and Recovery, patients receive compassionate and whole-person services and care. Yet, with continuous occupants it’s often challenging for staff to take the time to upgrade and update beyond the Center’s basic needs. Imagine what a beautiful mural or colorful artwork can do to elevate your mood, and how it can assist the therapy of a patient often in the Center for days or weeks. Every contribution can help improve the healing environment with the smallest comforts. Show your care for others today! Contributions will go towards the much-needed larger projects of: Medical beds ($8K per bed); Mural/painted walls in unit; New furniture for common room/craft room Landscaping on patio; Outside chairs and sunshades for patients to enjoy the patio; Chain link fence outside outpatient area; Lower area basketball court needs resurfacing – beneficial for acute and outpatient Transportation to and from outpatient program (would help to grow the outpatient program) With your help, together we can make each day better and brighter. https://lnkd.in/dRBp4NBU
