- Has rapidly deteriorating health?
- Is in and out of the hospital?
- Is having trouble getting to the doctor?
- Has frequent trips to the emergency room?
- Is falling?
- Is losing weight?
What is Hospice?
Hospice provides expert care and support to patients and families facing life-limiting illnesses. Our attention centers on the patient’s personal choices. We respect each patient and family’s choices and unique needs and refuse to follow models that standardize care. Hospice care focuses on making a person’s final journey comfortable, dignified and meaningful.
Hospice offers a unique approach end-of-life care and is provided by an interdisciplinary team. These include nurses, aides, social workers, chaplains, and volunteers all working together to provide support, education and exceptional care. Also, our hospice physicians are specialists in hospice and palliative care medicine and understand the treatment options for advanced diseases, achieving maximum comfort and symptom control.
What Services Can You Expect?
The interdisciplinary hospice team:
- Manages the patient’s pain and other symptoms
