Level Of Care

Hospice care, designed to provide compassionate support to individuals facing life-limiting illnesses, offers different levels of care tailored to the diverse needs of patients and their families. These levels ensure that individuals receive appropriate and responsive services as their condition progresses.

Routine Home Care

The foundation of hospice care, routine home care, is primarily delivered in the patient’s home environment. This level focuses on managing symptoms, providing emotional support, and assisting with daily activities, allowing individuals to remain in the comfort of their familiar surroundings.

Continuous Care

For times of crisis or acute symptom management, continuous care brings the expertise of hospice professionals directly to the patient’s home. During periods of increased distress, this level ensures continuous monitoring and intervention, aiming to stabilize the patient’s condition without the need for hospitalization.

Respite Care

Recognizing the vital role of family caregivers, respite care provides a short-term break to relieve family members while the patient receives care in a hospice inpatient facility. This temporary respite helps caregivers recharge, ensuring they can continue to provide the best possible support.

General In-Patient Care

During times of severe symptoms or when the home environment is not conducive to effective care, general in-patient care is administered in a specialized hospice facility or hospital setting. This level of care ensures intensive medical attention and symptom management while maintaining a focus on comfort and dignity.

Hospice Continuous Home Care

Tailored for times of crisis, hospice continuous home care brings skilled medical professionals into the patient’s home for a minimum of eight hours within a 24-hour period. This intensive level ensures that the patient’s needs are met during acute situations, allowing them to remain in their familiar environment surrounded by loved ones.
