Our Services
How will care begin?
A hospice clinician will make an appointment to come to your home, meet you and your family, complete an eligibility assessment, and then begin the admission process.
The nurse will ask about your medical history, perform a physical assessment, and evaluate how you and your family are managing. The nurse will also explain your condition in more detail, including how it may change and what to do when that happens.
The nurse will review your medications, explain all of the services that are offered by the hospice team, and provide an educational guide designed to answer some of the most common, difficult questions. This guide will be reviewed with you and your family throughout your care.
Pain Management
Pain management in hospice care is the use of various treatments to reduce a patient's suffering and improve their quality of life. The goal is to help patients feel as comfortable as possible and make the most of their remaining time.
Emotional Support
Hospice care offers emotional support to patients and their families as they deal with the challenges of terminal illness and the end of life. Hospice care teams include professionals who are trained to provide compassionate care and support, such as social workers, chaplains, and counselors.
Personal Care
Hospice aides are healthcare professionals who provide hands-on care and support to patients including bathing, dressing, grooming, and oral care.
Bereavement
Hospice bereavement is a program that offers support and guidance to individuals and families who are dealing with the loss of a loved one. Bereavement services are part of the Medicare hospice benefit and are available for up to 13 months after the patient's death.
