About Midland Care Connection

Midland Care Connection is a not for profit, community-based organization in Topeka, Kansas, dedicated to helping older adults and seriously ill individuals stay independent and supported in their homes. Established in 1978, we offer a full continuum of care, including hospice, palliative care, home health, grief and loss counseling, and its signature PACE (Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program. Their mission centers on "meeting individual needs through innovative care solutions," and we serve people across multiple counties in Kansas.

Hospice Home Care

Provides compassionate, comprehensive support for individuals facing terminal illnesses, helping them live with comfort, dignity, and peace in the place they call home. The program focuses on improving quality of life rather than prolonging it, addressing not only physical symptoms but also emotional, spiritual, and social needs. A dedicated team of professionals—including nurses, aides, social workers, chaplains, and volunteers—works closely with patients and their families to create personalized care plans, manage pain and symptoms, and offer counseling and respite services. Midland Care’s hospice program also extends bereavement support to families after a loved one’s passing, ensuring ongoing care and guidance during their time of grief. The goal is to provide holistic, person-centered end-of-life care and support that honors each individual’s values and wishes.

RN Case Manager

The RN Case Manager plays a critical role in coordinating and delivering high quality, patient centered end of life care. They are responsible for assessing patients’ medical needs, developing individualized care plans, and ensuring that patients receive appropriate symptom management, medications, and therapies to maintain comfort and dignity. The RN Case Manager also serves as the primary clinical liaison between patients, families, and the interdisciplinary hospice team, which may include physicians, social workers, chaplains, and volunteers. Additionally, they provide education and emotional support to families, help navigate complex medical decisions, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards, all while advocating for the patient’s wishes and enhancing quality of life during hospice care.
