How We Assist

Being locally owned and a part of our communities, the needs of the patient come first, determining the number of visits from hospice staff members vs. industry standards. These needs are established and outlined in a plan of care formed by the hospice team and the patient’s physician.

The care plan serves as a guideline to assist all those serving the patient with care. At this level of care the patient also has access to an on-call hospice nurse twenty-four hours a day.
