People in five Central Illinois counties seeking home health or hospice care have an award-winning option available to them.  Quad County Home Health & Hospice has won awards in multiple recent years for their work and patients’ satisfaction.  Pana Community Hospital owns and operates the service, which serves Christian, Shelby, Montgomery, Fayette, and Macoupin Counties.  They aim to provide high-quality care for patients recovering from injuries and illnesses in addition to those seeking comfort near the end of life.

Morgan Wilbur is a Registered Nurse at Quad County.  She says receiving top marks from patients as opposed to simply an awards committee speaks to the significance of their honors.

Quad County staff work to make sure each patient gets the care they need.  Often, these decisions are made pre-referral.

For home health services, the care team works towards accomplishing a set of goals related to what the patient needs.  Several parties take part in determining what those goals are.

As for the hospice side, Quad County works with the patient to provide the care they need.  In addition, their work extends to supporting loved ones, including well after the patient dies.
