Hospice patients receive care from registered nurses who specialize in hospice care, home health aides, social workers, spiritual care counselors, and bereavement staff. Patients keep their own physicians, but we do have a hospice medical director who is Board Certified in Hospice and Palliative Care overseeing care.
This “interdisciplinary team” coordinates the care and support for the patient and family. In addition to the professional staff, volunteers are available to help patients and families, providing respite, sitting with patients, taking them out for a ride, and generally being a “good neighbor.”
