Overview

Mission

Pinnacle health home care was dedicated to providing high quality holistic home care services to homebound individuals of all ages with intermittent skilled needs. Pinnacle health hospice was dedicated to providing comprehensive, individualized, quality care to terminally ill adults, children, and their families regardless of personal or financial circumstances.

What it reported doing in 2011

Pinnacle health hospice ("hospice") was a medicare certified, jcaho accredited and state licensed hospice program for terminally ill adults, children and their families. Care/support, with focus on both physical and emotional needs, was provided by an interdisciplinary team of professional health care providers. Hospice ceased operations on january 9, 2012. Hospice provided over 16,400 care days between july 1, 2011 and january 9, 2012 to approximately 340 patients. Hospice also offered a series of specialized, free of charge, bereavement programs for adults, children, and teens to the community at large, including support groups, educational workshops, and bereavement camps for area children and teens (camp dragonfly and camp draco). No one was ever denied hospice services because of their inability to pay, with fundraising dollars and donations offsetting the cost of providing care/services not reimbursed by insurance and bereavement support. Hospice had volunteers that provided unique skills, in-kind and various donated services. During the year volunteers provided 3,500 donated hours valued at approximately $60,000.
