Comfort and care at the end of life
Hospice care from a dedicated and caring team can make a meaningful difference for those facing end of life, and for their loved ones. The hospice team can reduce physical pain, ease emotional and spiritual suffering, and facilitate financial and legal activities as needed.
Hospice may be appropriate for any person who has a terminal illness and a prognosis of six months or less. Through hospice support, we strive to enhance the person's remaining time and to make end-of-life as peaceful and fulfilling as possible. Hospice care can be delivered anywhere: in a person's home, assisted living facility, nursing home or wherever the person chooses to spend their final weeks or months.
Our services
Hospice visits focus on making the patient comfortable. Services may include:
- Palliative care, including pain management through medications
- Administering other medications, as prescribed by the physician
- Personal care for the patient, in a manner that respects the individual's dignity. The hospice certified nurse aide may explain to the family or caregivers how to provide care, such as how to turn a person who is bedridden or how to feed the person
- Assistance with resources including financial aid, funeral arrangements and healthcare power of attorney
- Spiritual support from the chaplain
- Companionship, such as reading a book aloud, playing cards, talking together or simply sitting with the person
- Emotional support for the patient and family members
- Visits from volunteers, to provide companionship for the patient and to offer respite for the caregivers
