In The Home

Patients who choose to receive end-of-life care in their own home can expect the same exceptional experience we give patients in a nursing home or at Hospice House.  Our goal is to give patients and their families physical and spiritual comfort.  We'll visit your home to provide:

• Skilled and supportive nursing care - hands on care on consultation for pain and symptom management and wound care
• Medical social workers for counseling patients and families
• Chaplain for spiritual support
• Volunteers for friendship and visitation
• Physical, occupational, and speech therapy for palliative needs
• Dietary counseling
• Medical equipment and supplies related to the terminal diagnosis
• Medications related to the terminal diagnosis
• Continuous nursing care with an exacerbation of the patient's condition requiring skilled monitoring
• Bereavement support for the family for 15 months following the patient's death

We believe it's important to live each moment to tis fullest.  We provide "extra touches" such as:

• Pet therapy - Professionally trained therapy dogs visit patients to offer comfort and companionship.
• Massages and nail care
• Personal visits to read, listen or play cards
• Life review - We'll create a family keepsake of transcribed stories as told by the patient.
