Home Health & Hospice Week

Meanwhile, some Louisiana home health and hospice agencies are struggling in the aftermath of the hurricane. Hurricane Ida has had a “devastating impact … across southeastern Louisiana,” the HomeCare Association of Louisiana reports on its website. “Home health patients’ homes and their families are experiencing catastrophic loss,” HCLA says. “And businesses have been disrupted and displaced by wind and water.”

“HCLA’s disaster relief fund, put together after Katrina and Rita, will be reengaged to allow tax deductible contri­butions for families in need,” the trade group adds.
