AMOREM celebrates 5 years of more quality, more compassion and more support
AMOREM, the leading local, non-profit hospice and palliative medicine provider in its 12-county service area, is proud to celebrate five years of more quality, more compassion and more support.
This care team has provided quality hospice and palliative medicine services for more than 44 years—originally as Burke Hospice and Palliative Care and Caldwell Hospice and Palliative Care and, since 2021, as AMOREM. The two like-minded, respected and well-established North Carolina organizations merged to have a greater impact on serious illness and end-of-life care and to maintain the legacy of community-based hospice care.
During the first five years as AMOREM, the team has worked together to accomplish its mission to provide quality, thoughtful, loving care to patients and support to their families and offer education and grief support to communities served.
AMOREM receives Hospice Honors Elite award
AMOREM was one of 17 hospice organizations in North Carolina to recently be recognized as a “Hospice Elite” organization by the Hospice Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS).
This prestigious program is based on satisfaction scores by CAHPS and exclusively recognizes hospice agencies that have chosen to work with MatrixCare to administer their hospice surveys. Two months after a patient passes MatrixCare sends a survey to the person most involved with the patient, which could be a relative or friend. The survey includes 38 questions based on the care received for the patient and support to their loved ones.
Hospice CAHPS Honors was awarded to hospices that scored above the MatrixCare National Score on at least 17 of the evaluated questions. MatrixCare holds a special recognition, Hospice Honors Elite, to honor hospices scoring above the MatrixCare National Performance Score on one hundred percent, or all 22, of the evaluated questions.
AMOREM recruiting staff for new patient care unit in the High Country
Following a second inspection by the state in May, AMOREM, the nonprofit hospice and palliative medicine provider serving the High Country, is actively recruiting staff to operate its new patient care unit.
“As we prepare to open the High Country’s first hospice patient care unit, we are seeking compassionate and dedicated professionals to join our team,” says AMOREM CEO April Moore. “This patient care unit will provide an important new resource for families across the High Country, and we are excited to welcome caring nurses, certified nursing assistants, dietary staff and housekeeping team members who share our commitment to exceptional patient care.”
AMOREM receives grant from Bernhardt Furniture Foundation
AMOREM recently purchased Bamboo Health, a software system that provides AMOREM with “pings” on their patients – which is a real-time notification of patient care transitions among other healthcare providers, such as hospitals, emergency rooms and post-acute facilities by using admission, discharge and transfer data.
The software program was purchased with grant funds provided by the Bernhardt Furniture Foundation.
