Laredo Hospice

Kazandra Blanquez joined Laredo Rehabilitation Hospital in recognizing National Rehabilitation Awareness Week! 💙 As hospice professionals, we’re proud to stand alongside those dedicated to improving quality of life, promoting dignity, and supporting patients and families through every stage of their healthcare journey.
Thank you to Diana and Joe for including us!

Celebrating Diez Y Séis de Septiembre with culture, connection, and education! Kazandra Blanquez, Account Executive, joined La Presa Community Center for traditional Lotería while sharing signs that hospice may help and how families can begin the process. Thank you to Ms. Aide, Ms. Patricia, Ms. Mariana, and Ms. Garcia for welcoming us! 💜

Pain awareness is also about knowing when to ask for more support. Ongoing pain can affect independence, routines, and the ability to enjoy everyday life.

Hospice care includes symptom management and ongoing communication with patients, families, and providers to help keep comfort and quality of life at the center of care.

September is National Cholesterol Education Month, a good reminder that knowing your cholesterol numbers is part of protecting your heart health.

Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides can help your healthcare provider understand your risk for heart disease and recommend steps to support a healthier heart. Small changes in nutrition, activity and routine checkups can make a difference.

Know your numbers. Know your risk. Protect your heart.

🎉 A little Lotería, a few prizes, and an opportunity to learn!

Kazandra Blanquez, Account Executive, joined Arleen, RN, and Julissa, RN, at La Presa Community Center to share some extra fun during Lotería hour while also answering questions and providing education about hospice services. Learning about hospice before it is needed can help families feel more prepared when important care decisions arise.

Today we celebrate the seniors who have shaped our families, strengthened our communities, and shared a lifetime of wisdom along the way. 💚

Their stories, experiences, and contributions continue to leave a lasting impact on generations to come. Happy Senior Citizens Day to all the incredible seniors we are honored to know and serve!

Kazandra Blanquez, Account Executive, had a wonderful time celebrating Senior Citizens Day at Las Alturas Nursing & Transitional Care . It was a great opportunity to spend time with residents and help make their day feel a little extra special. Thank you to Karla, Activity Director, for the invitation and for always welcoming us into your community.

When families hear unfamiliar medical words, it can add even more stress to an already difficult time. That is why clear, compassionate communication matters so much. Hospice is here not only to provide care, but also to help families understand what is happening and what support is available.

Today’s term is dyspnea. In simple terms, dyspnea means trouble breathing or feeling short of breath.
