Our team
There is quite a bit of misconception about hospice. Many individuals do not understand the who, what, when, and where of hospice. To help folks get more familiar with hospice We have compiled a list of commonly asked questions to help educate and inform people in a way that makes them feel confident in making decisions about their care.
Medical Director
Our Medical Director is Hospice and Palliative care certified. She has over 20 years of experience and is well renowned in the community as a hospice and palliative care expert.
Registered Nurses
Our staff of compassionate nursing, pain management and symptom control, provide scheduled patient visits in the patient’s place of residence.
Nurse Aids
Nurse aides provide in-home personal care for the patients, including bathing and linen changes.
Social Workers
Skilled social workers offer supportive counseling to both the patient and those who share in the patient’s life. This support continues for at least a year after the patient’s death.
Hospice Chaplin
A hospice chaplain is available for spiritual counseling and works with the patient’s chosen religious community to provide comforting spiritual support.
Trained Volunteers
All hospice volunteers must complete a volunteer training program. Our volunteers provide companionship and friendship to hospice patients and their families. They provide assistance with everyday tasks such as running errands, providing transportation and caring for pets. Volunteers also provide emotional support and primary caregiver relief taking time to listen or just sit quietly and hold a hand.
