Hospice care is personalized care
Hospice and family care services are tailored to meet the needs of those facing life-limiting illness. Our multidisciplinary team is dedicated to providing physical, emotional, and even spiritual, comfort to you, your loved one, and the entire family. This includes surrounding them with the subtle touches that bring ease and comfort, including favorite music and cherished photos. It also includes an environment with family and friends to help pass the days in gentle conversation as you make the most of every moment.
What sets our program apart
Hospice & Family Care is committed to creating a space that has the comforts of home, no matter what location you choose. This means providing you with the subtle touches (favorite music, cherished photos) that bring you comfort – as well as surrounding you with family and friends to help you make the most of every moment.
We offer four levels of care:
- Routine care – we visit you in your home, managing symptoms and making sure you’re comfortable. We also educate your family on how best to care for you – including all medications, equipment and treatments.
- Continuous care – this is an alternative to going into the hospital for uncontrolled symptoms. Our team can provide up to 24-hour care for a short intermittent period of time to gain control of symptom burden.
- General inpatient care – when your symptoms are unable to be controlled in the home due to a higher level of care needed, admission to a hospital or skilled nursing facility for a short duration may be needed to gain control of symptoms.
- Respite care – when family members need an emotional or physical break, our team can offer a break from caregiving duties for up to five continuous days.
We will collaborate with you and your loved ones to determine which level of care is best for you.
Legacy Wish Fulfillment
It is an honor to be given the privilege to serve you and your family by helping to support the end of life journey. Our team can assist patients in creating meaningful keepsakes that honor their legacy and help their families cope.
Examples of legacy projects include:
- Voice recordings
- Thumbprint pendants or framed
- Memory bears
- Photos with loved ones
- Written letters for future milestones (wedding, graduation, etc.)
You may also be interested in fulfilling a last wish that could help your loved one gain closure at their end of life. Our team will work closely with you and your family to discuss these projects and determine how we can help.
