Jarrett Crum Infirmary Hospice Care is a newly developed hospice program within the Infirmary Health System. Infirmary Hospice Care provides care for patients who face life-limiting illnesses. The program focuses on relieving symptoms associated with advanced illness and providing supportive care.
Hospice allows patients to live as normal, comfortable and as full a life as possible until death.
Patients primarily recieve treatment in their homes, while family members are taught to help provide care. The hospice team consists of your personal physician, registered nurse, home health aides, social worker, chaplain and volunteers. The team members are prepared to deal with the special needs of hospice patients and their families. Together, they establish a plan of care that provides support throughout the dying process, and after, to the bereaved family.
