Contrary to popular belief, Hospice Care is NOT a facility; rather, it is a philosophy of care that focuses on terminally ill individuals. It is end-of-life care that can be provided in different settings, such as the resident’s home or family home, in an assisted living facility, in a nursing home, or in a hospice facility.
Hospice care is not curative; instead, it focuses on keeping the patient comfortable and pain-free. It also provides support to the patient’s family members. Hospice services may include:
- Personal Care
- Respite Care
- Medication Administration
- Preparing Light Meals
- Bereavement Support
- Grief Counseling
- Spiritual Services
- Medical Social Services
Types of hospice care services provided depend on the patient’s needs and preferences. If you need more information, Caregivers Exchange can help you. To speak with one of our care consultants, kindly schedule a meeting using the provided form.
