Medical care is under the direction of the patient's primary physician.
The Hospice Medical Directors provide consultation and back-up services for the Hospice Team and the patient's personal physician. Hospice Nurses assess the patient's condition, teach the caregivers and help with management of pain and sympton control. Nurses are on call 24 hours a day. Home Health Aides assist with bathing and personal care. Social Workers help identify and resolve problems, coordinate resources, and provide counseling.
