<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFive years ago, Norma Pugh Templeton, who is a fellow RN and the director of the Shelbyville branch of Adoration Home Health, offered Jones a position which quickly became her dream job. Now Jones,\u00a0along with her team of qualified nurses and therapists, ensures their friends, neighbors, and every family within Bedford and the surrounding counties have access to private duty nursing, home health, and, when needed, hospice care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe provide compassionate care at the highest quality for patients with a variety of illnesses, injuries, and rehabilitation needs. This mission is carried out daily by my team \u2014 a group of talented, selfless clinicians, a stellar office staff, and our leader, Norma Pugh Templeton. I facilitate referrals for our home health services from various sources, such as doctors\u2019 offices, hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, etc. I love my job because I work with so many amazing people, from my referral sources to my clinical staff to all of my co-workers. My team is top-notch, and they provide the best care and therapy to our patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few years ago, a terrible bout with pneumonia hospitalized Jones\u2019 grandfather, and her family embraced the help and services offered by Adoration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jones said, \u201cFollowing a serious hospitalization, my Papa recovered from pneumonia and from several wounds on his lower extremities with the help of the care and compassion from the staff of Adoration. This made my heart so happy, and my family got to see what I do and my \u2018why\u2019 for doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Jones receives a referral from a physician regarding a patient being discharged from the hospital, she contacts the family and offers them a priceless gift. Not only does she extend kindness and understanding, but she restores their ability to make the choices they feel are best for their loved ones. She guides them toward invaluable resources, such as someone who can provide a wheelchair ramp. She also schedules visits from therapists and nurses and helps families understand what services are covered by their insurance policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAt the end of the day, my job is about helping people that need us and making sure that everyone in our community is informed about the resources available and making sure they get the best in-home care. I try to be the \u2018easy button\u2019 for all of my referrals and accounts. Home health is a good fit for patients who have a support system in place. We are not a sitter service. We ensure patients receive therapy, social work, and nursing care that is vital for their recovery while keeping their independence within their own homes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jones continued, \u201cAdoration is set apart from other home health agencies because we are the only one that has a physical branch within Shelbyville. Most of our team are local clinicians that are also tied to our community, and that is something very special. Our team is what makes Adoration so wonderful.\u201d GN <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Amy Neese Jones grabs her buzzing phone from her purse and presses the answer button.
