Levels of Care
We understand that patient care needs vary. We respond by offering the category of care that meets the individual patient's needs, in the location that is most appropriate and comfortable.
These categories of care include:
Routine Home Hospice Care
We provide care wherever you call home. Often, this means providing care in the patient's own home, and our team of professionals schedule regular home visits to ensure that physical, social, and emotional needs are met.
Inpatient Hospice Care
If pain or symptoms cannot be controlled at home, the patient can be cared for in a hospital or other inpatient care center. When the symptoms are under control, the patient can return home.
Respite Care
Often the caregiver is a family member who provides around the clock care. This can become exhausting. When caregivers need a rest from their responsibilities, patients can stay in a hospital or other inpatient care center for up to five days.
Crisis Care
Sometimes a patient has an increased skill need requiring close medical attention. When this happens, we have trained specialists who can provide immediate care. Our staff will remain with the patient until the patient's needs have stabilized. When the crisis is over, the patient can return to routine care. |
