Hospice Care

What is hospice care?

Hospice care is a patient-centered journey that combines expert symptom management, emotional and spiritual support, and family guidance-creating a comforting, respectful environment where quality of life is nurtured once curative treatments give way to compassion and peace.

Who's eligible?

1. Diagnosed with a terminal illness.
2. Prognosis of about 6 months or less (if illness runs its usual course).
3. Not pursuing aggressive or curative treatment.

What's included:

1. Pain & symptom management: We relieve pain, breathlessness, nausea, and other distressing symptoms. Care plans are tailored to align with each patient's comfort goals.
2. Emotional & psychological support: We offer counseling for patients facing fear, anxiety, or depression. Families receive support for anticipatory grief and caregiver stress.
3. Spiritual support: Chaplains and spiritual counselors respect all beliefs and values. We provide guidance on meaning, legacy, and emotional closure.
4. Caregiver support: Caregivers receive training, respite care, and 24/7 nurse access. We offer coordination and updates to reduce caregiver burden.
5. Bereavement services: Grief support and counseling continue for up to 13 months. We guide families through mourning and emotional healing.
6. Interdisciplinary team care: Physicians, nurses, and support staff work as a unified team. Each member contributes to personalized, compassionate care.

How it works?

Levels of hospice care

Hospice isn't one-size-fits-all. We offer four levels of care designed to meet changing needs:

1. Routine home care: Daily support at home, where most people prefer to stay.
2. Continuous home care: Crisis-level care during difficult symptom flare-ups.
3. Inpatient care: 24/7 medical support when symptoms can't be managed at home.
4. Respite care: Short-term relief for family caregivers in a licensed facility.

Hospice care at home

Most hospice patients receive care right where they're most comfortable at home. We bring the support to you, including:

• Regular visits from nurses, aides, social workers, and chaplains.
• Pain and symptom management.
• Emotional and spiritual support.
• Medical equipment and medication delivery.
• Everything is coordinated so your family can focus on what matters most.

Inpatient hospice care

When symptoms become too complex to manage at home, inpatient care offers peace of mind with around-the-clock medical support in a comforting setting. Our care teams are trained to stabilize symptoms quickly and return patients home as soon as possible or provide ongoing care when needed.
