How Hospice Care Provides a Comfort
Hospice is a specialized type of care that helps patients manage symptoms associated with terminal illnesses. These services can help your loved one address physical and emotional discomfort so they can continue their daily life during this transition.
We assume primary caregiving responsibilities and provide round-the-clock support to assist your loved one day and night. Our facilities are designed with a home-like atmosphere. Your loved one is welcome to bring personal belongings and furniture to create a sense of familiarity with their space.
Our staff can coordinate care with other specialists, counselors and religious leaders so your senior can focus solely on their comfort.
The nurses and caregivers consistently advocate for and provide exceptional care to residents."
Embassy Healthcare’s Hospice Care Services
Personalized Care Plans
Our approach to hospice care emphasizes your loved one’s quality of life instead of curative treatment. Hospice staff will discuss your loved one’s needs and routines to ensure they can support the continuum of care without disruptions that could affect emotional and physical well-being. As their loved one, you will be closely involved in helping us develop a personalized care plan.
Pain and Symptom Management
We will develop a symptom management plan based on your loved one’s condition and pain level. Our expert staff provides dosing to ease physical discomfort without causing excessive sedation and monitors your loved one to adjust relief as needed.
Emotional Support
Part of our job is ensuring you and your loved one have access to emotional support services. Our coordinators can recommend support groups and grief counseling to help you process emotions before and after your loss. There are also social workers, chaplains and volunteers onsite to extend their assistance.
24/7 On-Call Assistance
Our nurses are on hand to address your loved one’s needs promptly. That includes clinical care, emergency symptom management, emotional support and personal assistance. Your loved one will also have easy access to medical equipment and supplies to ease adverse symptoms and provide comfort. We also provide vigil support to assist family and friends during your loved one’s final days.
Daily Living Assistance
Embassy Healthcare’s hospice services include assistance with activities of daily living, including dressing, bathing and toileting. We will help your loved one with the tasks they can no longer complete on their own or without discomfort. Our staff will see to personal hygiene, nutrition, repositioning and other care to ensure your loved one feels comfortable and dignified.
Bereavement Support for Families
Bereavement services are available to family and friends for up to 12 months after your loved one passes. These programs can help you navigate the emotional and spiritual effects of grief and loss. We can assist with counseling, memorial services, legal and financial guidance and crisis
