Journey

Hospice

Our Philosophy on Hospice Care Includes:

• Allowing the patient to continue seeing their physicians. • Providing the medications, supplies (diapers, nutritional supplements) and all medical equipment. • Providing care for those who suffer from: Heart, Liver, and Kidney Disease, Dementia, Cancer, and other chronic illnesses. • Providing Crisis Care for patients and their caregivers who experience symptoms that are related to the patient’s disease process. • Providing hospice care for patients while at home, in assisted livings, nursing homes and hospitals. • Our services are paid by Medicare, Medicaid, Private Insurance, or our indigent program. • We continue medications and nutritional supplements while on our service. • Our patients are allowed to be admitted to a hospital for symptom management. • We use RN’s and LPN’s for our nursing care, along with CNA’s, Social Workers, Chaplains, and Volunteers. • We provide bereavement for no less than a year following a patient’s passing. • Along with our Medical Director, we work with the patient’s physician to provide the best continuity of care for the patient.
