At Asbury, we offer Hospice care services because we recognise that terminal illness impacts the entire family. End-of-life care involves more than just physical needs, it also addresses the emotional, social, and spiritual well-being of our patients and their families. That's why we also offer guidance, education and bereavement services to help through difficult times.
Hospice care is a type of care for people who are nearing the end of their lives. It focuses on making the person as comfortable as possible and improving their quality of life. Hospice care can be provided at home, in a hospital, or in a dedicated hospice facility. It involves a team of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, social workers, and counselors, who work together to provide comprehensive care. The goal of hospice care is to help people live their final days with dignity and peace, surrounded by their loved ones.
Routine home care is the most common type of hospice care. It involves a nurse visiting the patient at home on a regular basis to provide care and support. The frequency of visits will depend on the patient's needs, but it is typically a few times a week. The nurse can provide a variety of services, such as administering medications, changing bandages, and providing emotional support. The goal of routine home care is to help the patient remain comfortable and independent at home for as long as possible.
Continuous home care is a type of hospice care for people who need more intensive care at home. A nurse is present in the home for extended periods of time, typically 8-24 hours a day. The goal of continuous home care is to keep the patient comfortable and at home.
Inpatient respite care is a type of hospice care that provides a short-term stay in a hospital or other facility for a hospice patient. This gives the patient's caregiver a break from their caregiving duties. Inpatient respite care is typically for 5 days or less.
General inpatient care is a type of hospice care for people who need care that cannot be provided at home. This could be because the person's symptoms are too difficult to manage at home, or because they need more specialized care. General inpatient care is typically provided in a hospital or other facility.
