Recently, the federal government added an online tool to help patients and their families decide which hospice provider best meets their needs. The data on the website comes directly from satisfaction surveys completed by families the hospice has served. Considering that Texas has 500 hospice agencies, it can be hard to figure out how to find the best care for your loved one. It’s even more daunting when you are trying to find a hospice agency for your loved one in Texas and you are living out of state.
One way to sift through all the information is to do a little research and compare your options. A new tool on Medicare’s website, Hospice Compare allows consumers to see how the provider they are considering stacks up against the national average when it comes to such measures as managing pain, treating symptoms, treatment preferences and how much the hospice takes into account a patient’s beliefs and values in providing end-of-life care.
We encourage you to look at the results for Arcy Hospice on Hospice Compare.
We think the results speak for themselves. It is our pleasure to provide exceptional care to all those we serve.
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
