Specifically for people with a life expectancy of six months or less (as indicated by their doctor), hospice care is a type of palliative care whose aims of treatment focus on palliation (comfort measures) rather than curing the underlying disease.
Patients whose doctors have determined that they have a terminal illness. Families or patients can get in touch with us directly to find out if they are eligible for hospice care.
Regardless of diagnosis, prognosis, or course of treatment, palliative care is medical attention aimed at reducing suffering and enhancing quality of life for anyone dealing with a serious illness at any time.
Hospice at Home Hospice services may be provided in your home.
Our qualified staff makes home visits to offer the patient and family support and sympathy during their difficult time.
To make the patient as comfortable as possible, we use the best symptom management techniques. Our objectives are to build a relationship of trust with the patient and family, respect the patient’s right to choose their own medical treatment, and help with the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of end-of-life care. An assisted living facility, a board and care facility, or a skilled nursing facility may all offer hospice services. In addition to the care the patient is already receiving from the facility staff, hospice offers assistance. Hospice collaborates with the staff at the facility to bring additional professional know-how in the management of symptoms and discomfort.
The goal of hospice care is to improve the quality of life throughout the latter stages. It neither aims to shorten nor lengthen life. At any time, a patient might decide to stop receiving hospice care and resume rigorous curative treatment for their condition.
Hospice Care is covered benefit under Medicare, Medical, HMO’s and also most private insurance companies, for qualified patients. To inquire, contact our team.
