Abraham House Receives Excellus Health and Wellness Award

Excellus BCBS Regional President Eve Van de Wal, Abraham House Assistant Director Kim Todd, and Excellus BCBS Community Investments and Partnerships Manager Shayna Keller join for a presentation of the Excellus BCBS Health and Wellness Award.

Excellus BlueCross BlueShield recently awarded Abraham House a $3,000 Health and Wellness Award to support its guest and family services. This program was created to maintain consistency in guest and family care, ensuring that high standards of quality and excellence are maintained daily, while also keeping great and clean installations thanks to services like Mold Cleanup Manalapan online. The guest-centered care model promotes interpersonal communication and daily documentation that strengthens relationships with Abraham House guests and families.

“We want our guests to be comfortable, supported and loved,” said Kim Todd, Abraham House assistant director. “This program provides our families with much needed emotional support during a very difficult and vulnerable time in their lives. Navigating death is never easy. With this program, we can meet our guests wherever they are in their journey.”

Guest and family services will be supported by a robust volunteer program designed to take some of the burden off caregivers.  Volunteers can assist with phones, answering the door, cooking meals, cleaning, greeting guests’ families, or reading, talking, and playing cards with Abraham House guests.
