About
FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICES & FACILITYIN 2018, CRESCENT COVE WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO ENSURE THE FACILITY MET ALL REGULATIONS NECESSARY TO BE LICENSED AS A RESIDENTIAL HOSPICE. WHILE MAJOR RENOVATIONS WERE COMPLETE AT THE START OF THE YEAR, A NUMBER OF ADJUSTMENTS NEEDED TO BE MADE SUCH AS CHANGING THE LAUNDRY INTO A MEDICATION PREPARATION SPACE, TRANSITIONING ONE OF THE WALK-IN SHOWERS TO A LAUNDRY ROOM AND ADDING A SINK TO THE NURSES STATION. THESE ADJUSTMENTS HAD TO FIRST BE APPROVED BY THE CITY OF BROOKLYN PARK AND THEN BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. CLINICAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES AND HOUSE GUIDELINES WERE WRITTEN TO ENSURE SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE WITH THE RESIDENTIAL HOSPICE LICENSE. FUNCTIONAL MAINTENANCE PLANS WERE WRITTEN FOR ALL EQUIPMENT, UTILITIES AND APPLIANCES WITHIN THE HOSPICE AND RESPITE HOME. FOLLOWING LICENSURE AT THE END OF APRIL 2018, MAINTENANCE PROFESSIONALS AND VOLUNTEERS CONTINUED TO ADD LOCKS, SHELVES, LIGHTS AND OTHER NECESSARY FUNCTIONAL HOUSEHOLD ITEMS AS THE HOME OPENED AND FAMILIES BEGAN BEING SERVED AT CRESCENT COVE. IN MAY OF 2018, THE CRESCENT COVE HOME CELEBRATED ITS GRAND OPENING SERVING KIDS AND FAMILIES AT THE HOSPICE AND RESPITE HOME. BECAUSE THE HOME IS THE FOCAL POINT WHERE THE CHILDREN ARE CARED FOR, OUR FACILITY AND FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICES PROGRAMS WERE COMBINED IN MAY OF 2018. IN 2018 CRESCENT COVE INCREASED THE NUMBER OF FAMILIES SUPPORTED FROM 90 FAMILIES IN 2017 TO CLOSE TO 150 IN 2018. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, SUPPORT SERVICES WERE OFFERED AND PROVIDED TO FAMILIES INCLUDING MUSIC THERAPY, MASSAGE THERAPY, COUNSELING AND SPIRITUAL CARE TO REDUCE STRESS, ANXIETY AND PAIN. IN 2018, A SECOND MONTHLY PARENT SUPPORT GROUP WAS ADDED TO THE PROGRAM OFFERINGS. IN MAY 2018, FOLLOWING THE HIRING, TRAINING AND ORIENTING OF NURSES AND CERTIFIED NURSING ASSISTANTS, THE CRESECENT COVE RESPITE AND HOSPICE OPENED SERVING CHILDREN NEEDING RESPITE AND END-OF-LIFE CARE. THERE WERE CLOSE TO 50 ADMISSIONS FOR RESPITE AND END-OF LIFE-CARE TO THE HOSPICE AND RESPITE HOME. SEVERAL CRESCENT COVE PARENTS SPOKE AT EVENTS THROUGHOUT 2018 TO SHARE THE MISSION AND TO GAIN SUPPORT AS CRESCENT COVE OPENED THE THIRD CHILDREN'S HOSPICE HOME IN THE COUNTRY. ADDITIONALLY, BEREAVED FAMILES WHO HAVE LOST A CHILD TO A LIFE-THREATENING CONDITION WERE INVOLVED THROUGHOUT 2018 BY VOLUNTEERING AND SPEAKING AT EVENTS TO SHARE THE MISSION.ADVOCACY & EDUCATIONA LARGE PART OF CRESCENT COVE'S EFFORT TOWARDS ACHIEVING OUR MISSION IS TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS WITH A SHORTENED LIFE EXPECTANCY AND THEIR FAMILIES AS WELL AS THE SUPPORT PROVIDED AT A RESIDENTIAL CHILDREN'S HOSPICE AND RESPITE CARE HOME IN MINNESOTA. CRESCENT COVE HAS A SPEAKERS BUREAU WITH STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS ENGAGED IN SHARING OUR MISSION WITH COMMUNITY GROUPS SUCH AS ROTARY CLUBS, LIONS CLUBS, OPTIMISTS CLUBS, ETC. IN 2018, OUR ADVOCACY EFFORTS INVOLVED WORKING WITH STAFF AT THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES TO ADD OR AMEND LANGUAGE ON THE MEDICAID WAIVERS TO INCLUDE THE RESIDENTIAL HOSPICE AND RESPITE HOME. THE AMENDED LANGUAGE WAS SUBMITTED TO THE CENTER FOR MEDICAID/MEDICARE IN OCTOBER 2017 AND APPROVED IN MARCH 2018.
