Physical, Emotional, & Spiritual Support of Hospice Care

Our hospice care plans center your family within a broad network of trained healthcare professionals capable of providing a full range of services. Hospice care focuses not just on managing physical symptoms like pain and nausea, but also on providing comprehensive support for the whole person. This holistic approach encompasses physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Physical comfort is paramount, achieved through pain management, symptom control, and ensuring hygiene and nutrition. Emotional support is crucial, addressing anxiety, grief, and depression through grief counseling, support groups, and family support. Spiritual care attends to the individual's beliefs and values, offering comfort and peace through spiritual guidance and support from chaplains or spiritual advisors. This multifaceted approach allows hospice care to provide comfort and dignity during a challenging time, supporting both the patient and their loved ones.

Paying for In Home Hospice Care

Funding hospice care can be a concern for many families. However, there are several avenues to explore. Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans cover hospice care services when the patient has a prognosis of six months or less to live. This coverage typically includes skilled nursing care, medical equipment, medications related to the terminal illness, and in some cases, bereavement counseling. If insurance doesn't fully cover the costs, there are also charitable organizations and non-profit hospices that offer financial assistance to eligible patients. It's essential to discuss payment options with the hospice provider upfront to ensure a smooth and financially manageable care plan.
