• End of Life Care

When medical care cannot offer a cure, compassionate care offers hope. Specializing in making the final chapter of life as comfortable as possible, our staff provides care for both patients and their families. 

How we can help you

A member of our social work/case management team helps the patient with a safe and comfortable plan for when they are ready to leave the hospital, whether it be going home, or to assisted living, skilled nursing facility or hospice inpatient unit. 
 
The goals of the hospital stay typically focus on symptom management and promotion of comfort, and when the patient is discharged, hospice takes over and manages care until end of life. 
 

Our services include:

  • Assist with end of life planning — we have several staff members who can assist with advance care planning, including filling out the form and having it witnessed.
     
  • Spiritual Care support — We offer on call pastoral care.
     
  • Emotional support — Our staff are sensitive to end of life needs.
     
  • Pain Management — The inpatient hospitalist manages pain during the hospitalization, and then hospice takes over at discharge.
