HOSPICE
The hospice concept is based on a
care plan that supports the patient
and family caregiver at a time
when the patient has a life-limiting
illness. Care plans are developed
in consultation with the patient’s
physician.
Hospice offers a comprehensive
medical care team consisting of a
physician who serves as hospice
medical director, nurses that are
specially trained and who make
regularly scheduled visits to a
patient’s home, social service
workers who provide emotional
support and assist the family in
understanding Medicare, Medicaid
or other insurance benefits,
chaplains and other bereavement
specialists, and volunteers who
are trained to provide support to
patients and their families.
Hospice care is based on need
rather than the patients’ ability to
pay.
Volunteers have traditionally
been the backbone of the hospice
movement. Specialized training is
provided to volunteers primarily
to provide support to the patients
and their families.
Simply being available to visit the
patient, assist the caregiver with
errands, transportation or other
menial tasks can be so meaningful
at a time when the patient is
terminally ill. To learn more
regarding the hospice program
contact the hospice of your choice.
