Hospice Services
Hospice is simply defined as end-of-life care. Hospice provides palliative, or comfort care, to the terminally ill when a physician has determined a six month or less life expectancy. Focusing on the quality of life, the care is provided in the patient’s residence, whether that is in their house, nursing home, or assisted living.
Hospice is a compassionate team of care giving professionals working together to serve not only the patient, but also their family. An individualized plan of care allows patient and family in decisions regarding the patient’s plan of care and allows the patient and family to participate fully in the final stages of life.
Services included but are not limited to:
- Skilled Nurse (LPN, RN)
