What Services Does Hospice Provide?

The goal of hospice care is to provide patients with expert care during their end-of-life journey. All hospice services can be provided wherever you call home and are in accordance with your values and preferences for your care.

The hospice team and medical director review the plan of care every 15 days, or more often if necessary. Your primary physician will authorize any changes to the plan of care as appropriate throughout the hospice journey.

Clinical Care

A team of physicians, nurses and hospice aides manage and provide the clinical care, medications, supplies, equipment and support related to all of a patient’s medical care.

Therapy

We offer a wide range of therapies such as: Physical therapy, occupational therapy, nutritional counseling, speech therapy, massage therapy and music therapy. Other complementary therapies are also available.

Medical Care

Medications, medical supplies, X-rays, medical equipment, palliative hospice treatment and certain surgical procedures when needed for pain and symptom management as it relates to the terminal diagnosis.

End Of Life Planning

Although we cannot always foresee what lies ahead, we have the power to create a plan that supports our loved ones in advance. Light the way for your loved ones to support your healthcare and other wishes when you are unable to speak for yourself. Give guidance and empower your loved ones to handle your affairs when you are gone.

Spiritual & Social Support

Chaplains and social workers are available for emotional and practical support for both patients and their loved ones.

Advanced Care Planning

Advance Care Planning means making important decisions about the medical care you want to receive if you are unable to speak for yourself. If you or a loved one need help creating an advanced care plan outlining end-of-life wishes, our social workers will assist you.
