Hospice Consists of a Full Range of Care

Help During a Difficult Time
Hospice care is designed to provide a comprehensive selection of services in order to help patients and families through an extremely difficult time.

Precious Hospice provides coordinated care, and support to patients and their families with a range of options that corresponds to their specific needs. Determined by an individualized care plan, hospice care often begins with the interdisciplinary team providing routine home care, but there are a variety of options available.

The goal is to provide patients and their families with options about how their care is administered, while taking into consideration what their goals of care are and the level support they desire, including clinical, social and emotional support from the interdisciplinary team.

While home hospice is a specialized type of care that focuses exclusively on providing comfort and support for people who are facing a life-limiting illness in the patient’s own home, it isn’t about just seeing to the physical needs of the patient. This type of care is comprehensive, and meant to support the patients and their families.

• Assessing and treating symptoms by a highly trained specialist
