Hospice teams work closely with patients and their physicians to develop personalized plans for pain and symptom control. Medications and other interventions are utilized to ensure the patient’s comfort.
Hospice care aims to maintain the patient’s independence and quality of life. Caregivers can assist with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and grooming, to help patients remain comfortable and dignified.
Hospice teams include counselors, social workers, and chaplains who provide emotional and spiritual support to patients and their loved ones. They offer guidance, counseling, and assistance in navigating the emotional challenges associated with end-of-life care.
Hospice provides counseling services to patients and their families to help them cope with the challenges and grief associated with end-of-life care. Bereavement support is also offered to family members after the patient’s passing, providing assistance and resources during the mourning process.
Hospice providers have expertise in managing medications related to the patient’s terminal illness. They help coordinate prescriptions, ensure proper dosages, and address any concerns or side effects.
Hospice care may include the provision of necessary medical equipment and supplies to enhance comfort and support at home. DME can include items such as hospital beds, wheelchairs, oxygen supplies, and mobility aids.
Hospice recognizes the physical and emotional toll caregiving can have on family members. Respite care services offer temporary relief for caregivers, allowing them to take a break and recharge while the patient receives care in a hospice facility or through short-term inpatient care.
Palliative care, a cornerstone of comprehensive healthcare, is designed to cater to individuals grappling with serious illnesses. This holistic approach prioritizes enhancing the overall quality of life for both patients and their families.
Good day! We are writing this note to thank Serenity Hospice and specifically nurses “Irene and Carly” for the wonderful care and attention they gave our mother, Gail Cummings, during her last days of life. The help and comfort they also showed towards my brother and myself was priceless! Deepest thanks for making a very difficult time less difficult.
