| The Services of Hospice To provide the very best care possible, a multi-disciplinary team shares the responsibilities involved in attending to the needs of the hospice patients and their families. The hospice team, made up of a medical director, the patient's primary physician, nurses, social workers, pharmacists, chaplains, volunteers and others, meets at least every two weeks to discuss ways to best meet every hospice family's needs. Although hospice is not for everyone (some situations and problems prevent even the most willing families from being able to keep their loved one at home), it offers many advantages. Some of these include: * 24-hour consultation with nursing staff, as needed * State-of-the-art pain and symptom management * Emotional support and spiritual counseling * Bereavement support * Medications How to Obtain Our Services Any person residing in our service area who has been diagnosed by a qualified physician as having a terminal illness, which gives the person a prognosis of six months or less to live, is eligible to receive our services. The areas we serve are: St. Francois, Ste. Genevieve, Washington, Perry, Iron, Madison and parts of Jefferson and Reynolds counties. Who Can Refer a Person to Hospice? Anyone can refer a person to HospiceCare to obtain our services. Individuals are often referred by their physician, but many people with a terminal illness call us themselves. Family members, clergy, friends, social workers, can also contact us. Upon contact, we will verify the person’s eligibility with their physician. If the admission criteria is met, we will begin services immediately. |
