Our Story
Nursing Home & Assisted Living Services
•
Hospice staff members are available 24 hours a day to collaborate with nursing home
staff and to control pain and other symptoms.
•
A patient’s needs may change as their condition declines, and the hospice staff works
closely with the nursing home staff and physician to monitor the patient’s condition to
provide optimal comfort at the end of life.
•
Hospice nurses, aides, and social workers can give nursing home patients additional
one-to-one care and work closely with the patient and family regarding the
dying/death and grief process.
•
Covid 19 Update: at this time, we are happy to announce that we are slowly
integrating volunteers once again, where we are able.
