Hospice is a way of caring for the terminally ill that helps them to live their final days to the fullest, as free as possible from disabling pain and mental anguish - usually in the setting of their own home.
Hospice enhances the quality of a dying patient's life; it emphasizes the dignity and sense of peace of the individual and the strength of the family; it provides symptom control, interdisciplinary care, support and counseling; and it involves the patient and family to help them through illness and death, including mourning, grieving, and bereavement. |
Criteria for entering the Hospice Program: |
Patients for whom cure is no longer a realistic expectation and whose life expectancy is estimated by the doctor at 6 months or less
There must be a willing and able care-giving person (or persons) responsible for 24-hour-a-day care
Patient must have a primary physician who will accept the responsibility of the overall care
Patient must live in the geographic area we serve
Patient should, when possible, be able to particpate in decision making
|
|
To enter the Hospice Program, the patient, family members, physicians, or anyone associated with them may make a referral to Hospice. The Volunteer Services Coordinator will contact the family to arrange a visit.
