Communication Tips & Etiquette | Recognition: Hospital Week, SNF Week, Memorial Day
Communication Tips & Etiquette Communication breakdowns are frustrating for both the speaker and listener. They can be dangerous in an emergency or crisis. Here are some tips from ASHA on how to communicate with people who have hearing, speech, and cognitive-communication impairments.
Hear & Be Heard Reduce background noise; move to quieter location. Be sure your face is adequately lit. Face the person who is speaking. Move closer to the person; speak at his/her eye level.
Keep your face and mouth visible - don't turn your head or cover your mouth. Only one person should speak at a time. Use an assistive listening device if available.
Be Understood Use simple words. Use short sentences. Slow down your speech slightly.
Speak slightly louder but don't shout or exaggerate mouth movements. Give the person a cue when changing subjects.
Be Sure You Understand Each Other Indicate when you can't understand - ask the speaker to repeat or rephrase. Maintain eye contact. Ask Yes/No questions; Use headshake response.
Verify information. For example, repeat back what you think was said or ask a question to see if you have been understood. Write down information or key words.
Make Use of Communication Aids Use written notes and information. Provide maps and listings of services
Use meaningful gestures and eye contact. Use an alphabet board or picture aids.
Ask How You Can Help Talk to the person - not to the interpreter or companion. Let the person know by your manner and actions that you are listening.
Treat the person with dignity and respect; most people can communicate if you give them the opportunity. Be patient.

Our Hospice Care Team Why We Choose to Bring End-of-Life Care to the Homes of Our Patients & Their Families.
Shelley G., RN | Administrator
"We bring hospice services directly to wherever our patient and families consider "home," eliminating the stress and anxiety of moving from their familiar space. We meet them where they are at, to honor their wishes, preserve their dignity and manage their emotional, spiritual and physical symptoms. What an honor to provide these services to our patients, their families and our community!"
Raymond Adam, MD | Medical Director
"Our hospice team is great and I enjoy working with all of them. For me, hospice is a calling; a personal mission of service that I am very comfortable providing to those who are under-treated at the end of their lives."
Elizabeth H., LCSW | Medical Social Worker "It is an honor to be allowed in our patient's homes to provide hospice services. At end-of-life, the "veneer" is gone and you are see the true person and the wrapping up of one's life. I love the people and the stories. I love the life review and how they come to peace with their life."
Deborah C., RN | RN Case Manager "Hospice care is a unique opportunity to hold our patient's hand during a sometimes scary time and be able to bring them peace. I enjoy fulfilling patient and family comfort at end-of-life."
Terrie D., RN | RN Case Manager "I find a sense of accomplishment and meaning by being an healthcare advocate for our hospice patients and their families by helping make the dying process less physically and emotionally painful andbringing more peace of heart and mind to everyone involved."
Robin S. | Chaplain "Working in hospice is getting to fulfill the passion that is in my heart. I enjoy providing end-of-life care because it is one of the most important times of a person's life."
Maria S. | Hospice Volunteer Coordinator "I truly believe I was called to the role of Hospice Volunteer Coordinator. I love working with volunteers who donate their time out of the goodness of their hearts, with passionate support at end-of-life."
