John J. McCartney and Sue Corrigan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\u201cSue and the HBPC Interdisciplinary team offer us continual guidance on how to create a safe home environment for our father,\u201d said Maura McCartney, one of John\u2019s daughters. \u201cThey\u2019ve been a blessing to our family. Their care is invaluable to our father and us.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s about ensuring they remain safe in their homes.\u201d<\/h2>\n
This sense of duty and compassion goes beyond clinical responsibilities for Corrigan and the HBPC Interdisciplinary team. They serve as a lifeline for families like the McCartneys, navigating the emotional and physical complexities that come with aging.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe mission of our program is to serve Veterans who find it challenging to reach the primary clinic,\u201d Corrigan \u00a0said. \u201cIt\u2019s about ensuring they remain safe in their homes, minimizing the traumas of unnecessary hospital visits.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since her first steps in intensive care in 1979, Corrigan\u2019s \u00a0journey has been illuminated by a singular inspiration: Bringing patients home safely. \u201cFor me, every day is an adventure. I respect that I am a guest in their lives. Over time, this respect nurtures a therapeutic relationship,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The service of Corrigan and the HBPC Interdisciplinary team is more comprehensive than simply attending to physical ailments. They embrace a holistic approach to caregiving that focuses on both emotional well-being and the sense of independence that can wane in later years.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause of the in-home care our father receives, he can maintain a sense of safety, purpose and independence,\u201d said Carla McCartney, another of John\u2019s daughters. \u201cWe can\u2019t imagine what life would be like without their support.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cRespecting his past while securing his present.\u201d<\/h2>\n
\u201cCollaboration is the key,\u201d Corrigan emphasized. \u201cFrom LaSalle to Joliet, we all connect, discuss and strategize, holding our bond of over 500 patients.\u201d For John, she sees an incredible life journey but also the undeniable signs of time\u2019s passage. \u201cHis story is inspiring, but we need to adapt, ensuring his safety and well-being, respecting his past while securing his present.\u201d<\/p>\n
The necessity of in-home care today cannot be overstated. For aging Veterans like John who have their own unique sets of challenges tied to years of service, this form of care is not a luxury but a crucial aspect of their overall well-being. Corrigan and her team fulfill this need, allowing their patients to remain in the comfort of their own homes surrounded by the family and memories that make those spaces sacred.<\/p>\n
