What is hospice care?
Hospice care provides compassionate support and comfort for individuals with terminal illnesses and their families. Our focus is on enhancing the quality of life through pain and symptom management, emotional support, and ensuring that patients receive care in their preferred setting.
Who is eligible for hospice care?
Hospice care is intended for patients with a terminal illness who have a prognosis of six months or less to live, as confirmed by a healthcare provider. Eligibility also requires the patient and their family to choose comfort care over curative treatment.
What services are included in hospice care?
Our hospice care services include pain and symptom management, emotional and spiritual support, and assistance with daily activities. We tailor our care to meet the specific needs of each patient and their family, ensuring a holistic approach to comfort and support.
What is palliative care?
Palliative care focuses on relieving a serious illness’s symptoms, pain, and stress, regardless of the stage or prognosis. Unlike hospice care, palliative care can be provided alongside curative treatment and aims to improve the quality of life for patients and their families.
How does hospice care differ from palliative care?
Hospice care is designed for patients with a terminal illness who are no longer seeking curative treatments and have a prognosis of six months or less. In contrast, palliative care is available to individuals at any stage of a serious illness and can be provided alongside curative treatments.
Can hospice care be provided at home?
Yes, hospice care can be delivered in the patient’s home, a skilled nursing facility, or an inpatient hospice unit, based on the patient’s needs and preferences. Our team ensures that the chosen setting is suitable for delivering compassionate and comprehensive care.
