Patient Care Medical Care Hospice Incorporated provides physician-directed care, coordinated by a registered nurse. The medical director and registered nurses work closely with the patient's physician to ensure that the patient is kept as physically comfortable as possible.
Considerable focus is given to pain control and symptom management to meet care plan goals.
The hospice nurse makes scheduled patient visits, and provides instructions on patient care to family members and caregivers. In addition, nursing staff are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week for emergency situations. Hospice Incorporated health care aides assist the family with the personal care of the patient, such as baths, shampoos and nail care. The health care aide also helps with light household duties related to the care of the patient. We promised our mother a long time ago that when her time came we would care for her at home.
