Hospice - Community Health Professionals |
Hospice provides physical, emotional and spiritual care to the terminally-ill and their families. Hospice care can begin when curative treatment is no longer expected to be effective and can be provided at-home or in an inpatient setting.
Hospice is compassionate care for those at the end-of-life that helps them to face the pain, fear and uncertainty of death. Hospice is dedicated to helping individuals spend their last days pain-free, surrounded by family and friends at home or a homelike setting.
Hospice treats the person, not the disease. Besides providing for the patient's medical needs, the hospice team ministers to the emotional, psychological and spiritual needs of the patient and family. Support is extended to family throughout the process of illness and bereavement.
How is Hospice Provided?
The hospice staff works closely with the patient, family and physician to carry out an appropriate plan of care. It is necessary that a family member be available as a primary caregiver to assist in the care of patient. When a patient is not able to remain at home, or an able caregiver is not available, CHP's Inpatient Hospice Centers provide 24-hour care and staffing. Hospice can also be provided in many area nursing facilities.

-

-
Physical, occupational and speech therapy

In addition to regular nursing visits, a hospice nurse is on-call 24 hours a day to assist families when needed. Bereavement resources and groups are available to provide support and encouragement after a loved one's death.
Philosophy
Hospice affirms life and maintains the dignity of each individual it serves. Hospice recognizes dying as a natural process of life. By keeping patients pain-free, alert and comfortable, hospice focuses on maintaining the quality of life rather than length of life.
