Oral care is frequently overlooked by caregivers when caring for dying patients. Terminally ill patients have many oral complications as a result of their disease process, treatments, and medications. These conditions can include oral cavity pain, oral mucositis, candida, and most commonly xerostomia.
WilBea is proud to announce that Home & Hospice Care of Rhode Island has been named one of the top hospices in the country by Data LLC for the second year in a row!
As a durable medical equipment provider, our primary focus is the equipment. Not far behind, however, is our focus on making patients comfortable both physically and mentally.
In case you didn’t know, DME stands for durable medical equipment.
There’s a reason they call it durable. DME is used dozens, if not hundreds of times before it is thrown away, stripped for parts, or recycled.
We at WilBea find it important to make sure that the quality of DME is maintained as long as possible.
Throughout the years, we have seen many nurses come and go, and with them, their myths about DME.
When was the last time you heard a hospice nurse get excited about a new oxygen concentrator model? Or a new feature on a Bi-PAP? Or new gel cushion material?
Yes, it is a “thing” we sleep on. We spend six to eight hours per night, many of us spend that time next to our loved ones.
Congratulations to one of our clients, Home and Hospice Care of Rhode Island… A Top 100 Hospice
