Hospice Honored for 100% Medicare Audit

During the November 25th Amador County Board of Supervisors meeting, the supervisors passed and adopted Resolution No. 14-126 in appreciation for the employees and volunteers of Hospice of Amador & Calaveras, to honor them for receiving 100% Medicare compliance during a recent surprise audit from the State of California.

 

The resolution was motioned by Supervisor John Plasse, District 1, who had learned of the perfect audit findings and wanted to honor Hospice of Amador & Calaveras for attaining the highly acclaimed accomplishment.  Supervisor Plasse noted that the resolution included how during the audit debrief meeting, the RN auditor said, “I’m not sure how to say this but this has never happened to me before in the 20 years I have been doing this job; That they could not find one thing to write up, nor find one deficiency that would require her to document it; And that it is clearly evident that Hospice of Amador & Calaveras, is providing care the way hospice care is supposed to be provided!”

 

Supervisor Plasse presented the framed resolution to Dan Riordan, Executive Director and Caela White, Director of Patient Care Services, to recognize and thank the over 50 employees and 200+ volunteers who devote their time, energy, love and professionalism to make Hospice of Amador & Calaveras, our local community based non-profit hospice, a truly remarkable Hospice.  

 

The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) also learned of our local hospice’s accomplishment and they will be highlighting them in their weekly online publication, NewsBriefs.
