Live Life with Comfort, Dignity, and Respect
True Hearts and Hands Hospice aims to enhance the quality and comfort of one’s life, helping people live fully, completely, and comfortably in their own familiar surroundings and in the company of their families and friends.
What is Hospice?
Hospice is an integral part of the total healthcare lifecycle. It provides end-of-life pain management and palliative (comfort) care for those with terminal illnesses, including support for their physical and emotional needs and their families. Hospice is a person- and family-centered care through an interdisciplinary team of health care professionals, offering medical care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual support, and it is designed to treat the whole person, not just the disease. Each patient and family receives an individualized plan of care, unique to the patient’s diagnosis and expressly tailored to the patient’s needs and wishes. Support is provided to the patient’s loved ones as well.
Hospice also provides all medications, services, and equipment related to the terminal illness. Furthermore, hospice care does not end with the patient’s death; it continues with up to 13 months of bereavement counseling for the family and loved ones.
Quality Patient Care Wherever You Call Home
Although some hospice care is provided in hospitals, in-patient hospice facilities, or nursing homes, the vast majority of patients are cared for in the place they call home, which is where the majority of Americans would prefer to receive care at life’s end.
