Hospice is not a “place” – it is a set of specialized services to help patients and families cope with a terminal illness. Hospices specialize in serving patients with terminal illnesses. While these illnesses are not curable, a lot can be done to make patients more comfortable and help them do things that are important to them at this stage of their life.
The focus of hospice care is on improving and maintaining patients’ and their families’ quality of life. By expertly managing pain and other symptoms, hospice helps individuals to live as well as possible. Hospice care uses a team approach to patient care. Hospice staff includes doctors, nurses, home health aides, social workers, spiritual care providers, and other professionals, such as nutritionists and physical therapists.
Hospice is personalized for each patients’ and family’s needs, this includes adapting the level of medical care to the changing condition of the patient. Most people who have a terminal illness are eligible for hospice care and have their care paid for by Medicare, Medicaid, Veteran’s Benefits, or private insurance.
Each member of our hospice team is carefully selected not only for their exceptional skills and knowledge but also for their genuine desire to make a positive difference in the lives of others. From skilled nurses and compassionate caregivers to empathetic social workers and specialized therapists, every individual plays a pivotal role in creating a nurturing environment where dignity, respect, and comfort are paramount.
