Coming Soon – 2017 Walk to End Alzheimer’s
For the past few years, Arcy’s Army has walked to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s Disease and the challenges to those who are living with it. We look forward to this year’s walk, in a little over a week.
In hospice, we have substantial first-hand experience with those at the end-stage of this disease. As of today, 38% of Arcy’s patients have a primary diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease. Another 7% have a primary diagnosis of some other type of dementia. Alzheimer’s/Other Dementia is the second most common hospice diagnosis, exceeded only by cancer diagnoses. We understand how dementia affects the individual and those providing the daily care.
Next Saturday, we will be reflecting on all those living with the disease today and all those we have lost over the years. We gather together as a team to recognize the importance of knowledgeable, compassionate caregivers in the lives of those living with Alzheimer’s Disease.
If you’ve got an hour to give, please come walk with us. Join our team or support us here, http://act.alz.org/goto/ardentsarmy.
We appreciate your support.
My name is Jimmie Stapleton. I am the founder and CEO of Arcy Healthcare. Arcy Healthcare includes Arcy Hospice, Arcy Supportive Care, MaximaCare Home Health and Arcy at Home.
Arcy Hospice was opened in 2007 to provide care and support for individuals and families facing a life limiting illness. It was established after my wife Ellen, who had been diagnosed with breast cancer, had completed her chemo and radiation therapies. At that time, things were looking positive, and we wanted to do something for our community that had been so supportive of our family during her treatments. Unfortunately, the cancer returned a few years later, and she subsequently passed away under our care in 2010.
In the years that followed, I began to see the need to provide the same level of excellent care to patients across the continuum of care. Therefore, we have added a home health division (MaximaCare Home Health), a palliative care division (Arcy Supportive Care), and a home care division, (Arcy at Home). With the addition of these divisions, we can meet most of the post-acute care needs for you and your family in your home.
I started Arcy Hospice with my wife as my motivation to provide exceptional care and support in the patient’s home, where they are surrounded by family and where they feel most comfortable. I’m proud to say that our staff provides some of the best in home care in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area.
Please let us know if we can enrich the quality of life for you or a loved one.
Sincerely,
Jimmie Stapleton – Founder and CEO
