Hospice &
Care Basics


 

Hospice means that you will be provided with a coordinated care and support team that will offer a range of options that correspond to specific needs. Guided by a customized plan, hospice care can start with routine home care and includes several specialized services..



SPECIALIZED SERVICES

Coordinate Care & Support


Hospice care provides medical, emotional and spiritual support for individuals and families who are coping with a serious illness. Hospice care can help reduce the amount of pain and suffering experienced by patients. We are committed to providing our patients a dignified comfortable peaceful experience.

Routine Home Care: This can be provided at a private residence, nursing facility or assisted living facility.

Continuous Home Care: We can provide acute symptom management within a dwelling by hospice staff during 24 hours/day shifts, to avoid hospitalization.


Inpatient Care: We can coordinate general inpatient beds in local facilities, special inpatient hospice units, and provide around-the-clock hospice care to manage acute symptoms until the patient can return home.

Respite Care: Respite care provides a brief “respite” for the patient’s primary caregiver by admitting the hospice patient to an inpatient setting without meeting the “inpatient” pain and symptom management criteria. This is provided for a limited time.
