How Hospice Works
If you or your loved one are facing a life-limiting illness, HOSPICE CARE may be the best healthcare option. Hospice Care focuses on comfort care and symptom management of terminally ill patients. Our goal is to ensure our patients are comfortable and that we treat the person rather than the disease to ensure the quality of life.
After admission, your care will be coordinated by a team member.
The Hospice Medical Director:
The Medical Director attends the hospice team meetings, gives guidance to the staff regarding the patient’s plan of care, and is available to the patients attending physician for consultation.
Primary Case Manager (Nurse):
Your Nurse will coordinate and manage your care. He/She will visit once or twice a week for approximately 30 to 45 minutes each visit. They will give instructions on caring for the patient, medications, skincare, etc. The Nurse will be working with your doctor to manage pain and other symptoms.
