A large staff of nurses is dedicated to reducing or eliminating physical and emotional pain. Nausea, weakness and other symptoms are dealt with promptly and confidently. Nurses are assisted in their work by a physiotherapist and an occupational therapist. A full-time social worker coordinates supportive services for the patient and his family. She also provides bereavement counseling to the family after the patient's death.
Patients receive palliative rather than curative care.
Terminal patients who wish to remain with their families can also benefit from the expertise of the Hadassah hospice staff through this program. Services include home visits by a physician, nurse, and social workers on a daily basis. Treatment focuses on supportive and analgesic care as well as psychological and social support.
