The specially trained hospice team includes physicians, nurses, home health aides, chaplains, social workers, and volunteers who are dedicated to helping terminally ill patients live as comfortably as possible. Our hospice professionals are prepared to give care either in the home or in a contracted residential or nursing facility.
Hospice care is extended to family members during their loved one's illness.
Care for the family continues through the bereavement period. Grief support groups are also available. We negotiate with insurance companies on behalf of our patients for the costs of our services. The referring physician and the hospice medical director confirm life expectancy of approximately six months. The referring physician agrees to order hospice care and to remain involved in the medical care provided.
