We view hospice care from the viewpoint of the patient rather than the disease. Using a holistic, patient-centric approach, we evaluate the patient, the disease, the family situation and any other contributing factors that influence care.
Based on the initial evaluation, a customized Plan of Care is developed and the appropriate professionals assembled as an Interndisciplinary Team to ensure that all the patient's and family's needs are addressed. This Team meets weekly and discusses the patient's progress and changes and adjusts the Plan of Care accordingly.
In addition to the medical and pharmacological aspects of traditional palliative care, our Hospice caregivers also address spiritual, emotional, cognitive and social issues related to the dying process.
