The Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA’s) gathered this week for an afternoon ice cream party and an opportunity to be recognized by the team. In addition to the sweet treats, the staff was treated to new scrubs, featuring the Arcy Hospice embroidered logo.
Our CNA’s are an amazing group of people and are an important part of patient care. A hospice aide performs a combination of personal hygiene duties, like bathing, dressing, and hair care, and some light housekeeping, like changing linens. They help ensure patients are comfortable and spend time talking and listening during their visits. They provide emotional support to the patient and family and work closely with the nurse case manager to communicate any new needs or changes in condition.
Arcy Hospice has a robust team of CNA’s, many of whom have been with the company over eight years. We are grateful for their kindness and professionalism.
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
