Mission Statement
We pride ourselves on achieving the best possible outcomes and quality of care - whether that involves home health for managing chronic conditions or injury or illness, hospice care to provide end-of-life care and comfort or private care aimed at helping people remain safe and independent at home.
Description
Klarus is full service home health and hospice agency who provide skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy aides. Our services also include multiple specialty programs as well as a robust social services offering to meet the unique needs of patients and families.
Hospice volunteers play a key role in the administrative and/or direct patient care services of an agency. Per regulation, volunteers must provide services that are equal to at least 5% of the hospice agency’s patient care hours of paid staff. However, they are there 100% of their own volition, because they have a passion for the work and a love for the people they serve. Among the greatest services provided by volunteers is the companionship and respite that they can provide when a patient’s family is not available or needs a little personal time.
