Did you know that hospice has been shown to extend the life of seriously ill patients? Not only do we improve quality of life, but there is evidence that hospice care can increase quantity of life as well.
Helping your residents stay home
You bond with your residents. They become like family. When serious illness strikes, we all know your residents will be happier if they can stay in the home you have created for them.
Ways we can work together
Our services can often be the difference between a resident staying in your community or having to transfer out to a medical facility. In particular, we can provide
- pain and symptom management
- bathing and grooming services
- emotional and spiritual support for spouses and family members
- 24/7 telephone access to an on-call nurse
If you would like to explore ways we can work more closely to support your residents in staying at home, give us a call at 1-800-897-3052, toll-free. We’d love to work with you!
