Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a visiting hospice nurse and what services do they provide?
A visiting hospice nurse provides in-home care for individuals with serious or terminal illnesses, offering medical care, pain management, daily living assistance, and emotional support to enhance comfort and quality of life.
What should I know before accessing hospice care for my loved one?
Before choosing hospice care, it’s important to understand that it is typically for individuals with a terminal illness or a condition where curative treatments are no longer effective. Hospice care focuses on comfort, pain management, and emotional support. We recommend discussing your loved one’s condition with their doctor to determine if hospice care is the best option, and we’re happy to guide you through this process.
How does a visiting hospice nurse help with daily living activities?
Hospice nurses assist with essential daily living tasks such as bathing, dressing, eating, and moving around. In addition to providing physical support, we also monitor health conditions and administer prescribed medications. Our goal is to ensure that your loved one is as comfortable and dignified as possible during their time at home.
What are some misconceptions about hospice care?
A common misconception is that hospice care is only for the very last days of life. In reality, hospice care can begin earlier in the progression of a terminal illness, often when curative treatment is no longer effective. We provide care that focuses on enhancing comfort and maintaining quality of life, not just at the end but throughout the course of the illness.
What benefits does hospice care at home offer to patients and families?
Receiving hospice care at home offers patients the comfort of being in a familiar environment, surrounded by loved ones. It also allows families to stay closely involved in care decisions and caregiving. Our team of hospice nurses provides personalized, compassionate care tailored to each patient’s needs, helping the family manage the care process while ensuring comfort and dignity for the patient.
