home services

Home Health Aides
The home health aide is the person who helps in the home with specific tasks determined by the primary care nurse. These tasks include:

  • Regularly scheduled visits
  • Personal hygiene assistance
  • Light housekeeping
  • Meal preparation
  • Respite for family

Social Workers
The social worker can assist with concerns or problems that are not medical in nature. Some of the ways in which a social worker may help include addressing family problems, resolving unfinished business, planning options or care, preparation for death, communicating with other care team members, and estate planning.

Spiritual Care Givers
The spiritual care coordination supports and encourages the patient and family as they deal with issues around life and death. Hospice Home Care cares for the whole person, regardless of beliefs on religion or spirituality.

Volunteers
Volunteers are an important part of the hospice team. They are caring people, from all walks of life, who bring special talents and skills to their volunteer work. All are trained for the tasks and roles they assume within Hospice Home Care.

learn about us
Hospice treats the person, instead of the disease; focuses on the family, instead of just the individual; and emphasizes the quality of life, instead of its duration. Hospice care allows terminally ill patients and their families to experience the end of life together, in the comfort and security of home or a home-like setting.   > more
