Hospice Program Care is provided for individuals with a limited life expectancy illness for which curative treatment is no longer a goal. Nurses provide pain and symptom management, instruction for the family, and care for people, whether they live in their own home or a nursing home. Social services, counseling, spiritual support, volunteers and personal care are also provided as needed. This unique program provides specialized services in pain and symptom management with supportive care to individuals that have potentially life-threatening illness but are still seeking active, curative care. Private Duty Shifts of care are provided to people in need of skilled care, or personal care and companionship.
Care is given under the supervision of a registered nurse.
RNs, LPNs, CNAs, and companions are available to provide private duty care. This program is designed to help older adults live in their homes and prevent unnecessary nursing home placement. Our staff determines eligibility for public programs and helps access these and other community services. This program also receives reports of elder abuse and neglect, investigates the reports, and assists on behalf of the elder person. Older adult assessments are also available to assist with long-term planning.
