Hospice care is a family-centered approach that includes a team of doctors, nurses, social workers, counselors, and trained volunteers.  They work together focusing on the patient’s needs; physical, psychological, and spiritual.  The goal is to help keep the patient as pain-free as possible, with loved ones nearby until death.

The hospice team develops a care plan that meets each patient’s needs for comfort and to maximize the quality of life.

Hospice Services Include:

• Regular visits by nurses and hospice aides.
• Emotional and spiritual counseling available for patient and family.
• Respite services for relief and support of caregivers.
• The coordination of supplies, medications and medical equipment.
• The pursuit of available reimbursement sources.
• Grief support.
