A holistic, person-centered approach to hospice care and support.
When curative treatment is not an option anymore, hospice is an ideal alternative care option for patients that provides a tremendous source of relief and support for their families as well. Here are our hospice programs.
Our Services:
Palliative Care
Palliative care is a specialized healthcare program for people suffering from chronic, complex illnesses. This program is focused on providing comfort and relief from the worries and pain of the illness. The goal is to improve the quality of life not only for the patient but also for their family members. Palliative care utilizes collaborative support from a highly-trained team of physicians, nurses, and other health professionals, and is centered on the patient’s needs, not their patient’s prognosis. Provided alongside curative treatment, this type of care is appropriate for individuals of every age and at any stage of a serious illness.
Continuous Care
Continuous care is needed when you have a family member struggling to manage the symptoms of their illness while at home. The goal is to provide constant nursing care during brief periods of crisis to alleviate uncontrollable symptoms swiftly. These symptoms may include bleeding, intense pain, nausea and vomiting, and acute respiratory difficulty.
Home Maker Service
Homemaker service ensures that the living spaces of each client are well-maintained and clutter-free. Since older adults and patients with disabilities are prone to accidents and falls, keeping their homes clean and organized is the first step to recovery. Homemaker services can also reduce the risks of infections and diseases.
Placement Help
Placement help offers individuals, most especially job seekers, the right resources in preparation for career enrichment. This kind of help may include counseling, skills enhancement sessions, and career assessments to aid individuals in landing a job that nurtures their interests and fits their strengths and skills. Job facilitators also train individuals in resume-writing and interviews.
Registered Hospice Nurses and Medical Director Services
Our registered hospice nurses perform a series of complex, hospice-related duties and responsibilities. Among those is ensuring that the client is comfortable at all times while under their care and attending to their needs with compassion and rapport. They work under the jurisdiction of a medical director.
Medical directors are responsible for maintaining optimal patient care within a team, improving health outcomes, and ensuring coordination with nurses and other health specialists.
Medical Social Services
For those looking for well-rounded management and facilitation of care, medical social services is an ideal care option. This type of care looks at each client’s case with a thorough study. Medical social workers go beyond their scope of care by connecting patients and their families to other resources that may improve their treatment and maintain their recovery progress.
On top of that, medical social work also facilitates and conducts home visits, provides patient and family education, and offers to integrate patients into the community. This is done to ensure continuity of care even after medical treatment in hospitals, care facilities, or at home.
Bereavement Support
Loss can be hard to handle. Bereavement support can be the ideal extensive approach to family members who are grieving. With bereavement support, loved ones are given the chance to express their feelings healthily through counseling. Counselors or therapists work with each of the family members in handling their pain, coping with overwhelming emotions, and going through the grieving process with less damage.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is an intervention program most suited to clients with physical ailments or reduced physical functions. The goal of physical therapy is to enhance an individual’s movement, ease pain, and prevent further physical damage. These intervention strategies may be done continuously unless preferred otherwise by the client, their physician, and their family, especially with more complex physical conditions.
Wound Care
Wound care is the effective management of wounds to promote fast healing and reduce further complications. Some individuals with certain conditions, like diabetes, may need immediate action when they get wounds, so wound care specialists and nurses make use of a variety of supplies, including wound dressings and antiseptics, and constant monitoring to prevent infection.
Transportation
Efficient transportation services are a vital benefit to individuals who do not have the luxury to drive or commute by themselves. Similarly, patients with complex conditions may require the assistance of a transportation provider to get them to their health appointments, social gatherings, community programs, errands, and other scheduled events. To ensure the safety and comfort of clients, health professionals may escort patients to their destination.
Mobile Dentistry
Unlike general dentistry, mobile dentistry requires dentists to facilitate services within a mobile dental clinic. This clinic isn’t a mortar-and-brick establishment; instead, it continually moves to different locations and renders service to many individuals as possible. Mobile dentistry is a convenient healthcare choice for both dentists and patients, and can readily provide disadvantaged communities with high-quality, low-cost dental services.
Mobile X-ray
Mobile x-ray systems are a preferred choice for patients who need comprehensive diagnosis but can no longer be transported to the radiology department or health unit. Mobile x-rays are built to fit limited spaces and equipped with the latest technology to be moved from one place to another without compromising its efficiency and results. These are usually employed within nursing homes, intensive care units, and other facilities that can hinder patients from going to the radiology unit of a hospital.
