Choosingtoenterhos- pice care can be a wrench- ing decision for yourself or a loved one. Hospice is intended to help termi- nally-ill peo- ple live out their lives as comfort- ably as pos- sible. Hos- pice doesn't focus on curing disease and it's not only for people with cancer. Medicare's hospice ben- efit covers your care, and you shouldn't have to go outside of hospice to get care except in rare situa- tions. Once you choose hos- pice, your hospice bene- fit should cover everything you need. If you qualify for hospice care, you and your family will work with your hospice provider to set up a plan of care that meets your needs. You and your family members are the most im- portant part of your med- ical team. Your team can also include doctors, nurses or nurse practitioners, so- cial workers, physical and occupational therapists, speech-language patholo- gists, hospice aides, home- makers, and volunteers. A hospice nurse and doc- tor are on-call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to give you and your family sup- port and care when you need it. You can also in- clude your regular doctor or a nurse practitioner on your medical team, as the attending professional su- pervising your care. The hospice benefit al- lows you and your family to stay together in the com- fort of your home, unless you need care in an inpa- tient facility. If your hospice provider determines that you need inpatient care, your hospice provider will make the arrangements for your stay. To find a hospice pro- vider, talk to your doctor or call your state hospice or- ganization. The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization has a web- site that allows you to look up local providers based on your zip code, at www. nhpco.org/find-hospice. You can get hospice care if you have Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) and you meet these conditions: Your hospice doctor and your regular doctor (if you have one) certify that you're terminally ill (with a life ex- pectancy of 6 months or less);you accept palliative care (for comfort) instead of care to cure your illness; you sign a statement choos- ing hospice care instead of other Medicare-covered treatments for your termi- nal illness and related con- ditions. You have the right to stop hospice care at any time. If you choose to do so, you'll go back to the type of Medicare coverage you had before you chose a hos- pice provider, like Original Medicare, a Medicare Ad- vantage plan, or another type of Medicare health plan. Your Medicare bene- fits include a one-time-only consultation with a hospice medical director or hospice doctor to discuss your care options and management of your pain and symp- toms. You can get this con- sultation even if you decide not to get hospice care. Depending on your ter- minal illness and related conditions, the plan of care your hospice team cre- ates can include doctor and nursing services; medi- cal equipment (like wheel- chairs and walkers); medi- cal supplies (like bandages and catheters); prescrip- tion drugs; hospice aide and homemaker services; physical and occupational therapy; speech-language pathology services; so- cial worker services; di- etary counseling; grief and loss counseling for you and your family; short-term in- patient care (for pain and symptom management); and any other Medicare- covered services needed to manage your terminal ill- ness and related conditions, as recommended by your hospice team. If your usual caregiver, such as a family member, needs a rest, you also can get inpatient respite care in a Medicare-approved facil- ity, like a hospice inpatient facility, hospital, or nurs- ing home. Your hospice pro- vider will arrange this for you. You can stay up to 5 days each time you get re- spite care.

MEDICARE Howhospice benefit works David Sayen With this exception of the apple orchards in certain favored localities, practically every fruit tree in the rich Manton section, 35 miles east of Red Bluff, will be bare of crop this year as a result of an unusual cold snap there Thursday night. The total damage is al- most impossible to esti- mate with any certainty but will probably amount to at least $40,000. The damage to the prune crop alone is estimated at $15,000. The Manton section has always pro- duced a large share of Tehama county's cherry crop and the cherry or- chards will have a value almost equal to that of the prunes. All the peaches were killed and the apple crop heavily damaged in certain sections. The 100 acre apple orchard of the Forward brothers was not damaged. — March 25, 1916 10 0 YE AR S AG O. .. $40,000frost damage Manton Co ld s na p T hu rsd ay n ig ht d es tr oye d every kind of fruit except apples AtthefirstBoardmeeting of the 2016 Corning Health- care District the directors voted Patricia Rasmussen as president, Charles Rouse as Vice President and Jan Ir- vin as Secretary/Treasurer.
