Can I receive services if I reside in a Nursing Home or Assisted Living Facility?
Home Care Services can be provided to a person whose place of residence is a nursing home or assisted living facility. This means, in addition to the services provided in the facility the patient receives specialized visits from registered nurses and other members of our home care team. The Hospice Home Care Program and the nursing home or assisted living facility maintain a written agreement that defines the role and responsibilities of both organizations.
Services are available to patients with life-limiting illnesses who can no longer benefit from aggressive, curative treatment as determined by a physician.
Hospice services typically include:
Physician services for the medical direction of the patient’s care, provided by either the patient’s personal physician and/or our physician who specializes in palliative care.
Regular home care visits by registered nurses to monitor the patient’s condition and to provide appropriate care and maintain patient comfort.
Home health aide services, attending to the patient’s personal needs.
Social workers and chaplains to assist the family
Medical equipment and supplies such as hospital beds, wheel chairs & oxygen.
Medications for management of the illness and control of symptoms.
Volunteer support when desired
Physical & speech therapy as needed.
