There When You Need Us Most!

Our Mission Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care provides high quality, comprehensive home health, hospice, and related services necessary to promote the health and wellbeing of all community residents, including those unable to pay. In 2013, VNHC provided $2.6 million in charitable community benefit.

Our People In 2013, we served over 15,000 people living in the communities of Santa Barbara County, with a focus on the South County region (Santa Barbara, Montecito, Goleta and Carpinteria), and a growing service base in the Mid County region (Santa Ynez and Lompoc valleys). VNHC provides services to a culturally and economically diverse population, with the majority of people being aged 60 and over who require assistance to remain living independently, to recover from an illness or surgery, or to transition at end of life with dignity and comfort.

The programs and services offered include the following: • Home Health Care (nursing & rehabilitation) • Hospice • Bereavement Support & Counseling • Personal Care Services • Homemaker Assistance • Respite Care • Telehealth • Palliative Care • Loan Closet • Integrative Therapies (Reiki, reflexology, aromatherapy, meditation, guided imagery) • The Elly Nadel Music Therapy Program • Pet Therapy

Our Locations VNHC provides care where people live – in their home, apartment, retirement community, assisted living facility, or skilled nursing facility, as well as at VNHC proprietary locations (Serenity House, Bereavement Office, and Loan Closet).

Our Staff And Volunteers With nearly 400 staff and more than 400 volunteers, VNHC has an exceptional team of qualified, compassionate individuals who provide quality care and companionship to patients and families.

uch a spirit cannot be accidental.

It is imparted and expected by all

the staff – and personified perhaps most clearly by Holly Gendron, RN. Her service for VNHC began 20 years ago, in the early 1990s, as a home health nurse. Then she became a key player in the creation of Serenity House, VNHC’s 18-bed hospice facility, and became its first director.

“I served in many nursing roles before coming to VNHC in 1994,” Holly recalls.

“In fact, I never thought of home health nursing. But one of the differences I

immediately noticed was that these were genuinely happy people doing their jobs.”

“Back in 1908,

“I learned that seeing a patient in their VNHC started with home was 180-degrees different from the controlled environment of a hospital. nurses doing TB Walking into a home and giving full attention to a patient and the family or clinics and food caregivers … there’s a different attitude. charities …”

We treat them like they’re our family,” she explains. “And it’s fun … to be welcomed by patients and their families into their homes and lives, letting them be who they are while giving them the tools to take care of themselves.”

5

Holly Gendron, RN, discusses treatment care options.

“It doesn’t have anything to do with us,” Holly emphasizes. “Home health nursing is all about the patients. And one thing I always hear from patients, families, and doctors is that we never go in in a rush. The patient’s care is never portrayed as a burden. It’s done gently, kindly and with great compassion.”

Holly has recently retired, and she looks back proudly at this vital organization.

“Back in 1908, VNHC started with nurses doing TB clinics and food charities and more. We kept growing and expanding the care we were providing in the home. Then in 1996 and ’97 there was a great struggle about pay and the reimbursement for home health. Thousands of agencies across the country closed, but VNHC persevered.

Now it’s one of the best things Santa Barbara has. I feel the history of VNHC is incredible.”

6

Holly also is proud of her efforts. “I have done almost every job here at the agency.

And I feel like another layer of me grew over the years working in home health at VNHC… raising me to a higher level of education and knowledge,” she says.

“And I watched the census for hospice care increase over the years. Being a part of caring for more patients and families was great! I have a huge place in my heart for VNHC. It has been my life’s blood for 20 years.”

Holly has concluded her work with a profound appreciation of VNHC. “One thing that has always been apparent at VNHC is how people [employees] come back. This speaks to the value of this agency… that people are always drawn back. It is a place where you can do so many things for many people at so many levels, including yourself.” ❧ www.vnhcsb.org

The Caring Faces of Healing Happening at Home Home health care helps with transition back to work

�

any of us think of hospitals as places

of healing, but complete healing usually

takes place after we are sent home from the hospital. Still, we face a serious risk if we are unable to properly care for ourselves at home. We may reinjure ourselves and end up back in the hospital.

This is the lesson Denise Segura recently learned – and why Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care’s Home Health Service became critical in her life.

8

Denise is Chair of the Chicana Studies department and a Professor of Sociology at UCSB, and late last summer she began having difficulty standing and walking. She eventually suffered a terrible fall and fractured her pelvis.

“It happened suddenly,” she says, “and the doctors couldn’t figure out why I fell.” Only after months and a slew of tests was she diagnosed with a rare condition called Stiff Person Syndrome.

and injuring myself. And that’s when I discovered the Loan Closet.”

VNHC’s Loan Closet provides an array of home care equipment, free of charge.

“Boy, that’s an incredible resource,” Denise exclaims.

“It really saved my life and my sanity!”

Doctors at Sansum Clinic and Cottage Hospital treated her pelvis, but back home, she fell again and kept stressing her injuries. She was nearly rehospitalized, where they would have fitted her with a pelvic plate – a costly, major operation.

VNHC’s home health nurse also helped with pain medications. “She met Denise strikes a pose with co-worker, with my doctor,” Denise Lisa Blanco, following her return to work at UCSB. says, “and worked with me to try various pain killers until we found the right medicine and dosage. That really helped, and now I’m not on any pain meds.”

All these things, Denise says, were like ‘ministeps’. “But they added up to really help me get a better quality of life. I’m so very grateful!”

At this point, her doctor ordered As Denise’s life improved, she gained a deep VNHC’s Home Health appreciation of VNHC’s Services, and for Denise the “This led to a home health care results were dramatic.

And Robert, at the age of 40, is struggling with the fact that he has recently been admitted to hospice care. All of these patients found relief through Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care’s Integrative Therapies Services.

Integrative Therapies compromise a variety of holistic modalities providing comfort and deep relaxation that can ease symptoms and emotional distress.

10

At VNHC, these services are part of a patient’s plan of care, right from the start, promoting greater patient comfort and well-being throughout their hospice experience.

Almost all patients feel some form of stress. “Research implicitly shows that shifting the body away from a stress response into a relaxation response improves not only the emotional state of a person, but also promotes important physiological changes to improve one’s well-being,” states Susan Clark, RN, Coordinator of Integrative Therapies. www.vnhcsb.org

Caring for the Caregiver VNHC’s Bereavement Services – The Faces of Help and Hope 12

www.vnhcsb.org

�

any of us know someone who is currently

“in the trenches” caring for a loved one.

As we notice the fatigue in their facial expression, and their tendency to focus all attention and energy on the person receiving care, we might wonder, “How do they do it?” We may want to help, but not know quite how to go about it. Perhaps we have figured out ways to offer support, from helping with errands to providing some respite time to the caregiver.

The caregiving role can last days, months or even years. Fast forward in time and we learn that the caregiving role has

abruptly ended, as the ill or aging person has died. What will help the caregiver now?

Hospice always regards the person and their circle of family and friends as the unit of care. Bereavement services quite naturally continue this care by supporting family and friends in their grief and adjustment process. Many of the people that VNHC support in our bereavement programs have been caregivers to their loved ones. In addition to grief, they now struggle to adapt to an entirely different existence without a major focus in their lives.

Here are some ways to understand and be helpful to bereaved caregivers after a death has occurred: Don’t rush them into a new life.

Many bereaved caregivers have shared that they feel pushed by well-meaning friends, “You should take a class … get out more … get everything done that you couldn’t do before!” Give them time to adjust. As with other major upheavals in life, they need patience and time to realize the effects of change.

Caregivers often come to the end of their role exhausted and depleted.

They’ve been running marathons, not sprints. Many caregivers have a profound physical, mental and emotional fatigue, and a significant sleep debt. Help them find ways to rest. It can take months for caregivers to return to normal energy patterns.

Allow them to express mixed emotions. Anyone who has been the caregiver for a dying loved one is entitled to feel, for example, relieved, sad, abandoned, lost, regretful, aimless, grateful, or any other emotion in any combination. Don’t make it harder by telling them they shouldn’t feel one way or another.

Grief is a natural and healthy process that unfolds in its own time. Often, one doesn’t have to do or say anything, other than listen and be present.

Practical help is often useful. Caregivers who are recovering their energy and focus may appreciate offers of practical help, from gardening to shopping to organizing.

But pay attention to their need to pace themselves, and don’t push too hard.

If you are concerned about how a bereaved caregiver or anyone else in grief is coping, please contact

VNHC’s Bereavement Program at (805) 308-9602, or bereavement@vnhcsb.org, to speak with one of our trained grief counselors. We can offer further advice and support as well as information on our counseling services and support groups, all of which are free to the community. We also offer an Anticipatory Grief Support Group geared towards caregivers currently caring for a loved one. ❧ 13

or 10 years, Ilona Varner has

been Visiting Nurse & Hospice

Care’s anchor of the graveyard shift – midnight to 8:30 a.m. Since VNHC is a 24/7 health care service, someone on staff has to handle whatever comes along during the wee hours of the night – and most of the time, that’s Ilona, as she is the Night On-Call Nurse.

Ilona has grown very accustomed to handling the midnight work. Before working with VNHC, she was an Emergency Room nurse for 30 years on the late-night shift. Now at VNHC, her routine work is to answer all manner of late-night calls from patients recovering at home or in residential facilities.

When Ilona gets such a call, she doesn’t

“�

just handle it over the phone. She immediately heads to the patient’s home.

From bathing and managing medications to simply listening, “I help the family with a variety of issues,” she explains.

“Even though they know their loved one is near death,” says Ilona, “it can be very hard for people to say that final good-bye.

For some, every extra moment with their loved one is precious and so it’s difficult for them to let go.”

“I often feel I can help people,” Ilona says, “because I’ve lost my own parents.

I always relate the experience back to my own experience because that helps me understand what they’re feeling.”

Families are not the only ones who value Ilona’s support. The VNHC staff overwhelmingly voted her the Golden

Heart Award. They also recognize her competence as a nurse. Ilona does point out that she is only one link in a well-oiled chain at VNHC and that she couldn’t do her job unless others have done theirs.

Nevertheless, her co-workers admire and appreciate that Ilona handles the long, lonely midnight shift largely on her own. ❧

Enrique Almengor, HHA

thought I wanted to be a

mechanic,” says VNHC’s

Golden Heart award winner Enrique Almengor. But on the day his first son was born at Cottage Hospital and he witnessed the wonderful way the nurses cared for his wife and child, his life vision turned around. “They impressed me so much,” he explains, “I felt that I’d like to get into that kind of work.” He has never regretted that decision.

Enrique arrived in the United States at the age of 18, coming from a small town south of Guatemala City. Like so many new arrivals, he quickly enrolled in Englishlanguage classes and took on a variety of odd jobs to make a living. However, his experience that day at Cottage led him to enroll in the Certified Nursing program at Santa Barbara City College – and the

result, he discovered, was a deep, abiding happiness from his work.

“I get a lot of pleasure from being helpful,” Enrique says about his job as a Home Health Aide at Serenity House. “If you do this just for money, it’s a problem… it’s not satisfying. But if you like helping people, you feel that you’re needed.”

As with many nurses and health aides, Enrique’s service has spiritual roots. He is especially inspired by the religious precept that ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’. And the special situation at Serenity House

motivates and enhances his caring spirit.

“Working with these patients,” he says, “you see that what people really need and what they respond to is love.

Even if they’re dying and suffering, they enjoy the love and care you can give to them. So working here has really developed my compassion for people.”

In recently winning the Golden Heart Award, Enrique felt “very proud and happy.” What particularly touched him is that this award came from his peers. “I felt that everything I do is worth it because my co-workers appreciate my efforts.” ❧
