Hospice services bring a special kind of caring and warmth that can only be found when one person reaches out to another to ease the impact of terminal illness.
An awareness of the multi-dimensional needs of patients, families, and caregivers is critical to providing care that brings peace and comfort during a difficult time. This awareness serves as the foundation of all we do.
Hospice is a medically-directed, interdisciplinary program of care and support for a person diagnosed with a terminal illness who desires comfort, rather than curative, care. A strong emphasis is placed on pain management. The patient and the family are considered the unit of care and the hospice goal is to treat the person, not the illness. Services that promote physical, emotional, and spiritual comfort are paramount and the focus is consistently placed on the quality of life rather than the length.
In addition to the above benefits, hospice services bring a unique aspect of healthcare that is focused on identifying and managing issues that interfere with a patient’s and family’s ability to enjoy the present by providing a team of professionals to advocate for their loved one. An awareness of the multi-dimensional needs of patients, families, and caregivers is critical to providing care that brings peace and comfort during a difficult time. This awareness serves as the foundation of all we do.
Whether acute or chronic, pain can be debilitating and frightening, especially to those persons with cognitive impairment. Hospice nurses possess the skills to assess a person’s functioning, presence and type of pain, and most effective interventions needed to improve quality of life. Communication with the medical director and/or the patient’s physician is ongoing to maintain a dynamic and individualized plan of care
Provided Angels Hospice provides services wherever a person resides: a private home, apartment, residential, or nursing facility. Our team develops an individualized plan of care designed to meet the needs and personal choices of our patients and their families.
