Palliative Care Chattanooga

At Hospice of Chattanooga our care is family focused. We understand that the end-of-life journey can be demanding and stressful for everyone involved. In addition to meeting the patient’s medical needs, our staff works very hard to treat the emotional and spiritual needs of the patient’s loved ones, too. We offer the following services to our hospice families: •Regularly scheduled visits to the patients homes by a physician and registered nurse with expertise in end-of-life care. •The support of a certified nurse assistant to assist with personal care services like bathing and feeding. •Counseling, guidance and support from a licensed clinical social worker. •Spiritual counseling provided by a non-denominational chaplain. •Grief support and counseling for loved ones lasting at least 13 months after the hospice patient’s death. •Trained volunteers to assist families with errands, light housekeeping, companionship, etc.
