​Hospice Care at Home:
​

Routine Care provides patients with a set frequency of scheduled routine visits by all of the disciplines assigned. The frequency of visits is defined by the patients condition and care needs. Anytime a patients conditions changes the hospice team will reevaluate if more or less visit are recommended.  While on routine care a nurse is available and on-call 24 hours a day 7 days a week to provide support in case of emergencies.

Continuous Care is a level of care defined by the need for a bedside nurse for acute symptom management.  It is provided in time of a crisis when the patient requires immediate nursing intervention for an extended period of time to manage the patients condition. It is a valuable tool we have to provide support to the patient and family in a time of emergency to manage the patients acute symptoms needs at home and avoiding  having to go to the hospital or nursing home.
