SERVICES
The Hospice may provide additional services such as homemakers, physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech therapist, dietary, as well as psychological counseling.
Hospice is not just another type of care service, but rather a holistic philosophy of care, encompassing, mind, body and spirit. A profound philosophy aimed to harmonize one’s experience with his/her life’s remaining journey in order to derive a meaningful, comfortable and improved quality of life for those under its care.
When a physician certifies that patient has a ter minal illness with life expectancy of six (6) months or less and patient and/or family agrees for comfort care in place of curative care.
Studies have shown hospice care to be no more costly and frequently less expensive than conventional care during the last six months of life. This is because less high-cost technology is used, and family/friends and volunteers provide much of the day-to-day patient care at home.
Provides bereavement related support ranging from family/individual counseling to group grief support during Hospice care and up to 13 months after patient’s death.
