Description

Specialized care for people facing a terminal illness that focuses on comfort, symptom management, and quality of life. We are a team of specialists - physicians, registered nurses, hospice aides, social workers, volunteers, chaplains and grief counselors - coordinate an individual plan of care with the patient, the family and the patient's physician to meet the patient and family goals. Visits are made by these professionals to ensure the patient's needs are being met. Medications, supplies and equipment that promote comfort are also provided at no cost to the patient. Hospice staff is on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide care, respond to emergencies, answer questions and offer support. Bereavement services are available to family/friends of patients served by Centra Hospice up to 13 months from death.
