Home / Nursing Home / Assisted Living Facility Care
Although the majority of hospice patients are cared
for at home, "home" may not always be the same for all patients. For
those who reside in a Nursing Home, Assisted Living,
Inpatient Unit or other locations the same basic
services available in home care can also be provided
in a facility.
Combining the skills of the nursing home with those
of a certified hospice program can benefit patients and their family
members.
For the terminally ill patient, the nursing home's
partnership with hospice can mean augmented care through additional
personnel and services. Families, too, have the benefit of additional
supportive services.
Hospice home care patients can benefit as well.
Those who need continuous supervision can be transferred into a nursing
home and maintain hospice care during a difficult time. The highly skilled
and trained staff, under the guidance of the patient's own physician
and the hospice medical director, work together with the professional
nursing home staff as a team to plan individualized care.
Hospice patients in a nursing home or inpatient unit receive the same
levels of care as all other hospice patients. Our
patients receive an enriched quality of care, including:
- Nursing Services
- Access to Care
- Social Services
- Home Health Aide Services
- Bereavement Services
- Medication Management
- Patient/Family Staff Conferences
- Spiritual Care Services
- Volunteer Services
- Short-term Hospitalization
- Other Specialty Services
