Clearing up common myths about home health and hospice care

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — When a loved one is recovering from an illness or living with a serious one, families have a lot of decisions to make. Often those decisions are shaped by things they've heard about home health and hospice that aren't true. In honor of National Home Care and Hospice Month this November, HSHS Home Care is sharing the facts so patients and families can find the support they need, when they need it. "So many families tell us they wish they had reached out sooner," said Trisha Ratliff, HSHS Home Care Patient Experience Coordinator. "Our goal is to help people feel more comfortable, more supported and more like themselves, right where they live." HOME HEALTH: MYTH VS. FACT Myth: To get therapy, you have to leave home. Fact: With a doctor's order, patients who find it difficult to leave home can receive skilled nursing and therapy right where they live. Care focuses on building strength, improving balance and helping patients regain independence. Being "homebound" doesn't mean being stuck at home, either. Patients can still go to medical appointments, religious services, adult day programs and other short or occasional outings. Myth: Home health is only for older adults. Fact:

Spiky Brown Balls Cover Illinois Sidewalks Every Fall And Almost Nobody Knows Which Tree Drops Them

Each spiky ball under your shoe holds dozens of tiny seed chambers, and every chamber has two little hooked beaks. I rolled one in my palm last October and counted more than forty points. No wonder it hurts. The same tree that drops them can keep raining them down from...

8 Unassuming Illinois Diners Where Pie Cases Still Look Like 1965

One Illinois cafe sells lemon meringue pie with meringue piled so high that the menu calls it a foot-high pie. That’s not a typo. It’s a dessert that needs its own zip code. I love that small-town diners in Illinois still treat pie like the main event. Some...

People Bring Their Own Jars To Stock Up At This Illinois Bulk Food Store

Half of this little store is candy. The other half holds spices, flours, nuts, teas, and coffee, and you can scoop all of it into jars you carried from home. That detail alone made me want to know more. Shoppers bring clean containers, the staff weighs them, and you pay only for what goes inside.

A political musical chairs game

Happy Veterans Day, Illinois. Today, and every day, we’re grateful to those who served. TOP TALKER WHAT IF? One big political move could trigger a chain reaction of vacancies in Illinois. From the governor’s mansion to City Hall and the county board, here’s how succession dominoes could fall. Starting at the top: If Gov. JB Pritzker were to run and win the presidency, he would resign as Illinois’ top elected official and incoming Lt. Gov. Christian Mitchell would take over as governor. No special election is required under the Illinois Constitution. That’s what happened when former Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn became governor in 2009 after then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich was removed from office. If Mitchell moves into the governor’s office, his former office would “remain vacant until the end of the term,” per the Illinois Constitution. The calendar matters: If Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias wins the Chicago mayor’s race next year, the governor would appoint someone to fill the seat, and a 28-month calculation would kick in: Under the Illinois Election Code , if more than 28 months remain in Giannoulias’ term, voters would choose a successor at the next general election. Otherwise, an appointee would serve out the term.
