Hospice services provide compassionate and dignified end-of-life palliative care. Hospitals and Nursing Centers may have hospice units on-site, and hospice services can also be provided in the patient’s own home by licensed agencies staffed by doctors, nurses, social workers, therapists, live in caregivers, Certified Nursing Assistants, chaplains and bereavement counselors. Senior care encompasses medical management, personal care assistance, and emotional and spiritual support. The focus is on keeping the person comfortable and providing the best possible quality of life. Hospice care can be a great help to seniors and their families — the patient has continuity of care, and the family knows they always have someone they can call on in this difficult time. |
