Our interdisciplinary team maintains open and consistent communication with you and your family throughout the duration of your care. We are available to answer questions or address concerns anytime during 24 hours and 7 days. You can also count on regularly scheduled visits from various team members.
Our counselors and chaplains offer advice, prayer, and comfort during this difficult time for both you and your family. You’ll never be at a loss for someone to talk to. We also offer bereavement services for you and anyone affected.
This comprehensive team consists of certified nursing aides, therapists, chaplains, counselors, social workers, and trained volunteers led by a doctor and registered nurses who have received specialized training in end-of-life care. They are here to support you and other family members who also make up an integral part of the team.
Guided by your plan of care and preferences, we aim for keeping you as comfortable as possible by managing pain and other symptoms. This mostly involves prescribed medication but can include other therapeutic approaches such as maintaining a calm environment.
We don’t just treat an illness. We give our earnest attention to the whole person, addressing emotional and spiritual needs.
We have registered nurses and licensed home healthcare aides on staff who are trained in pain management and skilled care.
Together with the interdisciplinary team, you and your family can carve out your wishes for all aspects of hospice care.
If you wish to spend these last days at Abundant Hospice Center, we offer hospice home care with meals, 24hr care and housekeeping.
During this initial phase, the family receives regularly scheduled visits from home health aides, registered nurses, volunteers, chaplains/spiritual advisors, and therapists. The primary caregiver is often a relative who has received training from the hospice staff.
Respite can be provided to primary caregivers for up to 5 consecutive days. Your loved one is temporarily admitted to an inpatient facility to give you time to recharge.
In this situation, your loved one receives short-term, 24-hour nursing care wherever he or she calls home. At this point, the patient’s symptoms have escalated to the where the primary caregiver needs assistance from aides and nurses.
General inpatient care requires the patient to be admitted to a hospice inpatient care unit or another local facility where he or she receives 24-hour symptom management and monitoring.
Terri Schirmer2023-05-12Michelle did a great job setting up Hospice services for my father in law. She expedited services when we needed them and continues to check on us. Thank you Michelle!
Tara Johnson2023-05-08Abundant Hospice met our every need in a caring and timely manner. Michelle came as soon as I called to admit my loved one. She checked on me every day and after my mom passed. At this time, she cared for both of my parents. Ashton, Sylvia and Melissa gave me such comfort with their prompt and loving care. They were always available, and Ali was with me to direct service caretakers. I highly recommend this incredible company for the first rate we received. They are still caring for my other parent. And I am confident she is receiving the best care available.

James Gregg2023-04-16Without any thought of personal gain, they went above and beyond to help our family when it was needed.
Steve Solis2023-03-25This facility was a nice place for my mom to spend her final days. Everyone was so nice and attentive to whatever my mom needed and we appreciate their fine hospitality. We were able to stay there for as long as we wanted anytime and they always made us feel welcome. Even the transition from the hospital to the facility was smooth and very quick and easy. Communication was always there and we have absolutely no complaints about anything at all. We would recommend this facility to anyone we know. Thank you again for making this difficult time easier for us.

Tracy Bradfield2023-03-16Michelle Balero has such tremendous compassion for all those that she engages with. She goes above and beyond to take care of the patient but also the family. It is such a difficult time in our lives but she makes the transition so much more bearable by her supportive care❤️
Tabatha Truelove2023-03-13Our girls are 19 and 23 years old and their amazing father Sean has fought a good fight but is ready to transition and stop his pain. I will start with my history as a hopsice case manager and as a hospice team director because I am very aware of the services hospice offers and I would like to say Michelle Balero thus far has gone above and beyond. She worked all day yesterday to get my girls father in Abundants IPU. She didn't stop until she got it done! She has kept in contact with us, responded to any questions, and went out of the way to make this experience better for my daughters. I am very sure I will be leaving more reviews and we are so happy to know Sean will leave this world with dignity and love from all!
