But what is hospice ?
When medical science has done all it can and the search for a cure gives way to the need for comfort, hospice offers families a place to turn for help and hope.
Hospice is a medically directed, nurse coordinated program of care serving terminally ill patients and their families, wherever they reside.
All Medicare and Medicaid certified hospices are required to provide four levels of care, depending on the needs of individual patients:
-
Routine Home Care: This is the most common level of care. Patients are cared for in their homes, whether it be a private residence or nursing home.
-
Continuous Care: In times of medical crisis many families feel overwhelmed and need additional support. The Interdisciplinary Team (IDT), in consultation with the patient and family, will decide if Continuous Care (a hospice team member will be present until patient's passing) is the optimal way of meeting the Patient and family needs. Continuous Care is generally limited to 1-5 days, however, can be longer and varies from case to case.
-
Respite Care: This level of care is used when a patient, being cared for at home by family members is unable to be left alone for an extended period of time and the family needs “respite”, usually to attend an out of town wedding or special occasion. There are times it is used to just offer families’ a bit of “respite.” This level of care is limited to no more than 5 days in a Benefit Period.
Hospice provides patients the physical and emotional support they need, when they need it most. With an interdisciplinary team available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year, hospice is there.
Whether our patients live at home or in a facility, the Otium Hospice Care team strives to manage patient’s symptoms and ensure comfort.
Hospice lessens the burdens for patients and families. When treatment is no longer an option, we hope you will consider Otium Hospice Care as your hospice provider.
