Direct care services are provided to patients and families by an interdisciplinary team comprised of nurses, physician advisors, social workers, volunteers, chaplain, dietician, home health aides, pharmacist, occupational, physical, and speech therapists. Clients are visited in their own homes and will continue to be followed should their care require hospitalization or nursing home admission. Clients are encouraged to have a primary caregiver available to them to assist and supervise their care. Services may include coverage for drugs related to the terminal illness, durable medical equipment and inpatient respite care. A volunteer speakers bureau is available to speak to the community about death, dying and bereavement issues.
