Chi Health At Home II sits over in Little Falls, Minnesota, and has been serving the Morrison County area as the first hospice team there, helping people at home, in assisted living facilities, or long-term care environments with home health, hospice, and palliative care services, and they do this whether a doctor refers you or not, which is helpful for families wanting a bit of information before making decisions. You'll find that the hospice and home health services cover people dealing with serious or life-limiting illnesses, like when there's unexplained weight loss, frequent hospital visits, or tricky symptoms, and their main goal is to bring comfort and keep people at home as long as possible, focusing more on quality of life and easing symptoms rather than curing disease, and there's a Chi Health at Home - Hospice program too. Their care team-nurses, aides, social workers, chaplains, a medical director, massage therapists, and even trained volunteers-can meet you wherever you live, in homes or care settings, to talk over your concerns in free informational visits, listen to what's going on, and help you figure out the next steps, with special services for veterans, plus bereavement groups for families for up to 13 months after a loved one passes. You'll also see they take pride in their faith-based roots as a ministry of Catholic Health Initiatives, highlighting dignity and justice, and their hospice staff has a close connection to local doctors which helps make care smoother.
There's more than hospice; Chi Health At Home II runs a medium-sized senior living community that offers 24-hour supervision, help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, or medication reminders, a 24-hour call system for safety, furnished rooms with phones, transportation, parking, scheduled activities and community events-movie nights, for example-plus a barber and salon for residents, gardens and paths for walking, meal services for regular, allergy-sensitive, and diabetes diets, house-keeping, laundry services, and a dining room. Intermittent visits from nurses, physical and occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, medical social workers, and chaplains are part of their home health options, and inpatient or respite hospice services are available if needed, all overseen by Dr. Lisa Germscheid as the medical director for hospice. The program is covered by most insurance plans and is licensed, with special programs for veterans and those dealing with multiple health concerns or tough-to-control symptoms. Grief support groups, community engagement, and volunteer opportunities are also available to help families stay connected and supported. Chi Health At Home II has a main site in Little Falls with six locations in North Dakota and Minnesota, and its focus is on professional, trustworthy, and faith-driven care that puts the comfort and dignity of every person at the center, no matter their health status.
