Bereavement services are a fundamental part of ɫɫƵ’s hospice program. Bereavement is a time of mourning, and grief is the natural process we experience when dealing with the death of a loved one.

At ɫɫƵ, we have Bereavement Coordinators working in our hospice branches who are dedicated to companioning those on their journey through grief. These coordinators consist of social workers, counselors and chaplains who strive to ensure those who are grieving feel supported.

The bereavement team at ɫɫƵ promotes well-being, renewed purpose and life growth for our clients and communities. Through counsel and extensive services, ɫɫƵ’s bereavement team served 8,000 clients in 2019, ensuring they received the right care at the right time in the right place, and it was our honor to do so.

How do our Bereavement Coordinators provide support?  

  • Private grief counseling visits
  • Regular calls to assist clients in coping with grief
  • Bereavement mailings designed to provide information and education on the natural grief process throughout the 13 months on service
  • Community resource referrals   
  • Grief support groups, workshops and kids’ camps
  • Annual memorial services

Who is eligible for Bereavement ɫɫƵ?

  • Any family member, friend or neighbor whose loved one died with ɫɫƵ’s in home hospice care services are able to access bereavement support, at no cost, for 13 months following their loved one’s death. ɫɫƵ’s bereavement team also offers support, referrals and programs to the overall community, at no charge.

– Gina L. Maynard, LMSW, Bereavement Program Manager

ɫɫƵ’s mission of delivering the Right Care, Right Time, Right Place starts with people—people who care—and the organization finds those people through Talent Acquisition. Regardless of whether an ɫɫƵ employee’s job includes providing care in patients’ homes as a clinician or processing invoices in Accounts Payable every role has a significant impact on the lives touched by the care the organization provides. The ɫɫƵ Talent Acquisition team knows that truth and works diligently to take every need and role as a priority—as if those being hired were taking care of their own family members, and they very well could be.

The main focus of the Talent Acquisition team is to hire the best talent for all roles so that the organization can deliver on its mission, every time. However, another focus must be the willingness to change and adapt based on the needs of the nation, our patients, and the business—and that’s exactly what we are doing. The Talent Acquisition team of ɫɫƵ is changing, all to serve our internal clients better and ultimately our patients. With a strategic restructuring, some alignment of tools, and a lot of focus on building trust and delivering support, we are looking forward to helping ɫɫƵ soar to new heights in 2020.

ɫɫƵ is quickly being recognized in the industry and nation as the “up and coming” organization to watch for delivering quality care, and that is a direct result of our greatest investment—our people. Recruiting top people is where it starts, and while the patient is who we want to receive the ultimate benefit, working with a phenomenal organization and team for your career certainly is not a bad way to get there.

Come where the grass is greener.

– Samantha Oakley, PHR, SHRM-CP, Vice President of Talent Acquisition

One of the core values for ɫɫƵ is integrity. A primary focus of the Compliance Department is collaborating with departments and teams across ɫɫƵ to guide employees in displaying a high level of integrity in interactions with our patients and clients, our referral sources, payors and the community.

The Compliance Department at ɫɫƵ is composed of six Compliance Managers, three Compliance Coordinators and one Vice President of Compliance all reporting to our Chief Compliance Officer, Christine Weir.

Some of the functions of the compliance team include:

  • Auditing and monitoring driven by trends in data to ensure ɫɫƵ has proper controls in place;
  • Responding to compliance questions or concerns raised by ɫɫƵ employees, referral sources, payors, government entities and others in the community;
  • Development of compliance policies and setting compliance standards for ɫɫƵ employees;
  • And creating and delivering education to ɫɫƵ staff related to fraud, waste and abuse and HIPAA regulations.

Personally, my favorite part of being a compliance professional are the opportunities I have to interact with and support ɫɫƵ staff across the enterprise. I enjoy being able to provide education and guidance to staff to assist them in remaining compliant while providing excellent care and support to our patients and their families.

– Katie Monastiere, BS CHC, Vice President of Compliance and Privacy
