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. |
