Hospice is a special kind of care for patients with a limited life expectancy, and their families.
Hospice care is about quality of life and is holistic and comprehensive in its approach. The goal of hospice care is maximizing comfort for patients rather than recovery or cure, so patients may live as fully and comfortably as possible.
Routine Care
Provided by the hospice team of professionals at the patient’s residence. It may include nursing care, certified home health aides, emotional and spiritual care, social services, and/or volunteer services.
Respite Care
Occasional short term care provided at a contracted skilled nursing facility to temporarily relieve family members or caregiver/s from caregiving duties.
Inpatient Level of Care
Higher level of care provided at a contracted nursing facility when an acute onset of symptoms cannot be managed at the patient’s place of residence.
Continuous Care
