FOUR LEVELS OF HOSPICE
HOSPICE SERVICES

Comprehensive Care Tailored to Your Needs

Hospice patients require specialized care tailored to their unique needs during the most challenging times of life. Our services are crafted to support your physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being, helping you to make the most of each moment in your end-of-life journey.

Pain and Symptom Management

Our primary goal is to ensure you experience the best possible quality of life. We work closely with you and your family to develop a personalized care plan that addresses your specific needs. This includes providing the necessary medications to control pain and manage symptoms effectively. Additionally, we supply all required medical equipment and supplies to support your comfort and care at home.

Emotional and Spiritual Support

We understand the emotional and spiritual challenges that come with a terminal diagnosis. Our team includes trained counselors and spiritual advisors who offer compassionate support tailored to your personal beliefs and emotional needs. Whether you seek comfort in spirituality, need someone to talk to, or require guidance in navigating difficult emotions, we are here to walk alongside you and your loved ones.

Medication Management

Managing your medications is a critical component of your hospice care. Our skilled nursing team ensures that you receive the correct medications at the right times to control symptoms and maintain comfort. We handle all aspects of medication administration, including monitoring for side effects, adjusting dosages as needed, and coordinating with your physician to ensure optimal care.

Medical Equipment and Supplies

To support your comfort and care at home, we provide all necessary medical equipment, such as hospital beds, oxygen tanks, wheelchairs, and more. We also supply essential medical supplies, including wound care kits, catheters, and feeding tubes, ensuring that you have everything you need to maintain a comfortable and dignified experience in your home.

Personal Care Assistance

Our dedicated home health aides are here to assist with daily activities that may become challenging, such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and feeding. This personal care support helps you maintain your dignity and comfort while ensuring that your daily needs are met with kindness and respect.

Respite Care

Caring for a loved one can be physically and emotionally demanding. Our respite care services offer temporary relief for primary caregivers, providing short-term patient care either in a facility or at home. This allows caregivers to rest and recharge, knowing that their loved one is in capable and compassionate hands.

Bereavement Support

The loss of a loved one can be an overwhelming experience. Our bereavement support services extend to family members during the hospice care process and continue after the patient’s passing. We offer grief counseling, support groups, and other resources to help you navigate the difficult emotions of loss and find comfort in your journey through grief.

Family Education and Training

We believe that informed families are better equipped to provide care. Our team offers education and training to help family members understand the hospice care process and learn how to care for their loved ones at home. This includes practical tips, hands-on training, and ongoing support to empower families during this challenging time.

Specialized Therapies

Depending on your needs, we provide access to specialized therapies such as physical, occupational, or speech therapy. These therapies are designed to maintain or improve your comfort, functionality, and quality of life, helping you to remain as independent and active as possible.

24/7 On-Call Support

Hospice care doesn’t adhere to a 9-to-5 schedule, and neither do we. Our team is available 24/7 to address urgent needs, answer questions, and provide guidance whenever you need it. Whether it’s the middle of the night or a weekend, you can rely on us to be there for you and your family.

Coordination of Care

Ensuring seamless care requires close collaboration with your primary care physician and other healthcare providers. We coordinate all aspects of your care, including medical appointments, treatment plans, and communication between healthcare professionals, to ensure that your care is cohesive and consistent.

Social Services

Our medical social workers are here to support you in accessing community resources, navigating financial challenges, and addressing any social or legal concerns that arise during hospice care. They provide valuable assistance to ensure that you and your family have the support you need beyond medical care.

ENHANCING QUALITY OF LIFE

Benefits of Hospice Care

Hospice care can significantly enhance quality of life, especially during the final six months. The sooner a person begins hospice care, the greater the benefits it can provide.

  • Enhanced Quality of Life

    Hospice care focuses on comfort and quality of life rather than curative treatments. It allows patients to spend their remaining time in peace, with dignity, and free from unnecessary pain and suffering.

  • Comprehensive Support

    Hospice care provides holistic support that includes medical, emotional, and spiritual care. A team of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, social workers, and chaplains, work together to address the patient's and family's needs.

  • Personalized Care Plans

    Each patient receives an individualized care plan tailored to their unique needs and preferences, ensuring that their specific symptoms and concerns are addressed.

  • Family Support and Counseling

    Hospice care offers counseling and support services to families, helping them cope with the emotional aspects of their loved one's end-of-life journey. This includes bereavement support after the patient's passing.

  • Increased Comfort and Pain Management

    Hospice care emphasizes effective pain and symptom management, ensuring that patients experience as little discomfort as possible. Medications and therapies are carefully managed to relieve pain without unnecessary side effects.

  • Home-Based Care

    Hospice care is often provided in the patient's home, allowing them to remain in a familiar and comfortable environment surrounded by loved ones. This reduces the stress and anxiety often associated with hospital stays.

Routine Home Care

Routine hospice care, also known as intermittent home care, is the most common type of hospice service, with 90% of hospice care falling into this category, according to the NHPCO. It provides regular visits for terminally ill patients, offering services like pain management, nursing care, therapy, social services, and at-home medical supplies...

It provides regular visits for terminally ill patients, offering services like pain management, nursing care, therapy, social services, and at-home medical supplies.

Each patient receives a customized care plan based on their needs and preferences, with flexibility for unscheduled visits. Even routine care includes 24-hour nursing support.

Continuous Home Care

Continuous care is provided for patients with acute symptoms, where a nurse may monitor them overnight. This level of care can offer crucial support to families, especially when a patient is nearing the end of life...
Continuous care is provided for patients with acute symptoms, where a nurse may monitor them overnight. This level of care can offer crucial support to families, especially when a patient is nearing the end of life.

Continuous care may also be necessary for temporary issues like nausea and vomiting, uncontrolled pain, or severe anxiety, such as panic attacks.

Nursing staff are required to manage at least 50% of the symptoms related to the terminal illness. If the issue is related to mental health or cannot be adequately managed at home, inpatient care may be required.

Inpatient Care

Hospice patients sometimes prefer inpatient care, which can be provided by hospice facilities, nursing homes, or assisted living centers. This option is often necessary for patients with acute symptoms requiring more intensive support...
Hospice patients sometimes prefer inpatient care, which can be provided by hospice facilities, nursing homes, or assisted living centers. This option is often necessary for patients with acute symptoms requiring more intensive support.

Inpatient care is similar to continuous care, with the key difference being the setting and level of around-the-clock nursing support. The decision between continuous and inpatient care ultimately comes down to personal preference.

It's important to discuss these options with your family, primary care physician, and hospice care team. They can help you evaluate each alternative and determine the best choice for your needs.

Respite Care

Primary caregivers can benefit from respite care, which is available when the patient is not in an inpatient facility or receiving continuous at-home care, and when the primary caregiver is not a hospice professional. Respite care is especially beneficial for those caring for terminally ill patients...

Respite care is especially beneficial for those caring for terminally ill patients.

Caring for a terminally ill patient can be demanding, and respite care provides much-needed relief for exhausted caregivers. It allows hospice patients to stay in a facility for up to five days, giving caregivers a break. Many caregivers find respite care essential in managing the challenges of caregiving.
COMPASSIONATE CARE FOR EVERY STEP OF YOUR JOURNEY


Understanding the Four Levels of Hospice Care

he Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have outlined four distinct types or “levels” of hospice care. Some patients may transition through all four levels within a week or ten days, while others might remain in one level of care for several months. Each level is designed to address specific needs, recognizing that every hospice patient’s journey is unique.
