Delivering the Right Level of Hospice Care
Hospice recognizes that different patients require different levels of care, and we respond by offering the category of care that meets the individual patient's needs - in the location that is most appropriate and comfortable. These categories of care include:
Routine Home Hospice Care
We believe in bringing care to wherever you call home, and we strive to provide an environment of care that is comfortable for our patients and their families. Often, this means providing care in the patient's own home, and our team of professionals schedule regular home visits to ensure that medical, social, and emotional needs are met. Continuous Care is provided for a patient during a period of crisis, such as when a patient requires predominantly nursing care to maintain comfort or manage acute medical symptoms. Continuous Care is deemed necessary as long as a patient is in a period of crisis. When the crisis is over, the patient may simply return to routine home care. If pain or symptoms cannot be controlled at home, the patient might be taken to a hospital or other inpatient care facility. When the symptoms are under control, the patient can return home. Many patients have their own caregivers, often family members. When caregivers need a rest from their care giving responsibilities, patients can stay in an inpatient care center or a nursing facility for up to five days.
