Home Hospice

Patients will be admitted to Home Hospice based on the following criteria: The patient has a life-limiting illness (i.e. cancer, Alzheimer’s, AIDS, etc.) if the disease follows its normal progression. Efforts to cure have ceased, and concentration is on providing physical, mental, social, and spiritual care. There is at least one 24-hour care giver in the home. The patient’s physician consents to and authorizes hospice care. The patient resides in our service area. The patient and family are fully informed and elect to participate. The care needed is within the scope of service provided and is in a safe home.
