Coordinate and consult with community agencies and services such as Meals on Wheels
The care provided is tailored to fit the individual needs of each patient and family. Hospice works directly with the patient’s own physician to provide optimal care and symptom management, while maintaining maximum patient alertness. A medically supervised interdisciplinary team of professionals and volunteers coordinate the services.
The patient may receive hospice care either in his or her own home or a living facility. Patients and their families often prefer to receive care in their own home for as long as possible. Support services can extend that time period in the home.
Services provided can include a number of things such as:
Nurse Care
Our hospice nurses make regularly scheduled visits to all patients to provide expert pain management and symptom control.
Volunteer Services
Hospice can provide trained volunteers to provide companionship and an understanding heart to assist the individual and their family with household chores and errands.
Social Support
Our hospice social worker is an exceptional resource who can provide assistance with practical and financial concerns as well as emotional support and bereavement care follow-up.
Spiritual Services
Chaplains assess the individual and families support systems. It is about recognizing the WHOLE of who you are as physical, emotional, well beings.
Grief/Loss Support
Grief may be experienced in response to physical losses, such as death, or in response to symbolic or social losses such as divorce or loss of a job.
