What Our Community is Saying
I retired and had everything I could have wanted, but something felt missing from my life, and this is when I thought, I should volunteer. I found Interim hospice and thought it looked like such a good fit. Doing this has brought me so much joy! People often think when I say hospice that it is sad. It isn’t like that at all! Hospice volunteering is a great experience.
Carissa has been providing Palliative NP services for 85% of our residents in both of our facilities. During this time, we cannot begin by applauding her enough for the care and services she brings to our organization and residents. Carissa is known for how she goes above and beyond for her patients, always in a professional manner.
The palliative, hospice, and home health services that Interim provides have been an amazing resource here for our residents. Many of our residents cannot get out to medical appointments or have conditions that limit their mobility, making travel difficult. With Carissa and other Interim personnel in our community, our residents get to see them firsthand.
Everyone we came into contact with on the Hospice team was professional, caring, sympathetic and went above and beyond! Special thanks to Tim, Serena and Stephanie. Selecting Interim Hospice was the best decision I ever could have made, and I would recommend Interim in a minute to anyone needing their services.
It is with much enthusiasm that I am writing to recommend the services of Interim Healthcare Staffing. I have been fortunate to have worked with Interim Healthcare for supplemental staffing for over 20 years. I have worked with many staffing agencies over the years and by far Interim has been the best to work with.

Practitioner Profile: Danielle Sommerfeldt
Danielleis another amazing member of our Palliative care nurse practitioner team that takes care of patients and their families throughout our service area. This is what she has to say about why she loves what she does.
"What I like about palliative care is the relationships I am able to develop with my patients and their families, helping them navigate their health journey with the goal of improving their quality of life. Palliative has become so important in the community, with the changes in healthcare over the past couple of years, allowing people to stay in their homes and out of the hospital."

What is Palliative Care?
Oct. 17
Palliative Care is specialized medical care that focuses on managing symptoms and treating chronic disease, while focusing on the patient and families quality of life.
It is appropriate at any age and at any stage of illness and can be provided along with all treatment options. Palliative Care offers a wide variety of services, which are covered under traditional medical insurance, Medicaid and Medicare Part B.
Patients can be seen in their home, a rehabilitation center, or a long-term care facility. Our Palliative care providers work with your PCP and other specialists to provide holistic care and also help to coordinate doctor visits and medical testing.

Meet our Hospice Medical Director!
Dr. Andrew J. Offerle, MD
Dr. Andrew J. Offerle, MD
Dr. Offerle, graduating with honors from Indiana University School of Medicine in 2002, has accrued over 20 years of experience as a practicing physician, predominantly specializing in Emergency Medicine. Despite his primary focus, his inaugural research project during medical school centered on hospice care, aiming to enhance support for numerous families within the healthcare system. His personal journey caring for his mother, who battled end-stage Alzheimer’s while under hospice care, reignited his dedication to this crucial aspect of patient support. Dr. Offerle's blend of professional expertise and personal empathy uniquely qualifies him to connect deeply with each member of the hospice team, patients, and families alike.
Our mission, under Dr. Offerle's stewardship, is to prioritize the comfort, well-being, and individual needs of every patient, ensuring their journey is filled with unwavering support and dignity. Through our steadfast dedication, we endeavor to empower patients and their families, honoring their distinct narratives and fostering meaningful moments amidst life's most unforeseen and challenging transitions.
