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
