The Hospice Team

The Hospice Team is made up of professionals (paid and volunteer) from a variety of disciplines. Specially trained volunteers work on the Hospice Team to meet the individual needs of terminally ill patients and their families and help them make the most of their time together. Some of the benefits for healthcare providers and patients they refer to hospice include:

MD, RN and SW services, spiritual counseling, CNA and dietary counseling, available 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Nurse aides and volunteers to provide assistance with daily living (ADL) activities.
Physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy.
Hospice staff assistance in presenting Hospice services to patients and families.
Hospice staff assistance with patient evaluation for program admission.
Social workers available to assist with placement services and community resources.
Bereavement Services for 13 months to family members after the loss.
Grief and loss support groups (open to the public).

The Hospice Team will coordinate whatever individualized services or therapies are needed, when they are needed most. Once the Hospice Team has been engaged, patients and families are never alone. Hospice Nurses provide emergency on-call assistance 24-hours a day, every day of the year.
