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.
