Caris Healthcare

We were happy to sponsor breakfast for first responders today at Americare - Springfield Heights. Thank you for allowing us to co-host!

Understanding our patients' Three Most Important Things sometimes means doing something a little over the top like asking for help from Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and Buchanan Place Health and Rehab to build a temporary pond in a parking lot.

We're grateful to everyone who helped make Mr. Clark's fishing day a reality:

"Does choosing hospice mean giving up hope?" or "What happens if someone lives past 6 months?"

One of the most common misconceptions about hospice care revolves around the Medicare "6-month rule." Many families worry that hospice is strictly for the final days of life, or that care automatically stops if a loved one lives beyond six months.

Here’s the truth: The 6-month rule is simply a clinical guideline for Medicare eligibility—not a limit on care. As long as a patient remains clinically eligible, hospice care can continue indefinitely!

📖 Read our latest blog to break down how the 6-month rule works, recertification, and why early care brings the best quality of life:

We are pleased to announce the addition of Dr. Keith Goldberg to the Caris Healthcare team.

With an extensive background in the medical field, Dr. Goldberg has been serving Robertson County since 1998 as a dedicated General and Vascular Surgeon. His commitment to patient care and community health is commendable, and we are excited for him to join us in providing hospice care.

Together, we will work diligently to ensure the highest standard of care for our patients and their families. Welcome aboard, Dr. Goldberg!

Each season, we reflect back on the moments our teams honored a patient's Three Most Important Things in a truly meaningful way. Each story is a powerful reminder of the compassion, dedication, and creativity our teams bring to the patients and families we serve every day. This example brought us all joy and reminded us why the Three Most Important Things are so special.

Thank you, Team Morristown, for making this dream come true. Click here for the full story https://carishealthcare.com/the-sky-is-the-limit/

The heart behind our holistic care in Robertson County! 💙🕊️✨

Hospice care extends far beyond physical health—it’s about providing emotional, spiritual, and personal support to our patients and their loved ones every step of the way. Today, we’re proud to shine the spotlight on our incredible Springfield Family Services Team!

Knowing when it’s time for extra support isn't easy, but you don't have to navigate it alone. 💙🕊️

Many families struggle with knowing when hospice care is appropriate for a loved one. Recognizing the signs early—such as frequent hospital visits, increased assistance needed with daily tasks, unintentional weight loss, or recurring infections—allows families to access the compassionate care and relief they deserve sooner.

Hospice isn't about giving up hope; it's about shifting the focus to comfort, dignity, quality of life, and personal peace for both the patient and their family.
