Our Services
Home Health and Hospice
Home
Health and Hospice is designed to provide the smoothest
transition from hospital to home. Patients must be referred to Home Health
and must be home bound, need skilled care in the home and be under the
care of a physician.
Hospice is support for people with limited life expectancy and their families. We provide a comfortable, supportive environment, ensuring that the quality of life is the best it can be. We pay special attention to physical, spiritual and psychological needs of our patients and their families.
There is an RN on call 24 hours-a-day taking care of doctor’s orders. We have social worker counseling for patients and families and also a medical director for consults with physicians and pharmacists for orders on pain control, physical, speech, occupational and dietary counseling.
There are volunteer services for support, companionship, personal care and to run errands. Ask for Carman Wright, MSW, if you would like to train as a volunteer.
