Inpatient care is available to all patients, no matter where they live. Cabrini Hospice will also arrange care after discharge from the hospice inpatient unit for patients who live elsewhere. A wide range of hospice services are provided by professionals and support staff. Cabrini Hospice recognizes the impact of an advanced illness on all those close to the patient. Supportive counseling services including music and art therapy are available to all members of the family and close friends.
Special consideration is given to the needs of young children.
Patients are encouraged to maintain their relationship with the private physician. Cabrini Hospice will work with any physician or osteopath licensed in the state. If the patient does not have a private physician, the hospice will assign a physician. The patient makes individual arrangements with the physician for payment of services. Physicians may bill the insurance company if a benefit is available for this.
