Gracious Care Hospice

About This Provider

In simplest terms, hospice is a type of care focused on providing comfort for a
patient with a terminal condition that has less than six months to live. In
practice, hospice seeks to provide comfort using a multidisciplinary team to
support the patient and their family during this challenging time. This approach
includes a clinical team that sees to the patient's physical comfort through
medication and various other palliative (comfort-based) treatments. A
spiritual/mental support team helps the patient and their family make the best
of their remaining time and prepare for the eventuality of death and its
aftermath. "Hospice matters. The end-of-life deserves as much beauty, care, and
respect as the beginning. Patients enrolled in hospice care live on average 29
days longer than patients not in hospice. Most patients report pain was brought
to a comfortable level within 48 hours of initial assessment. Patients enrolled
in hospice care report higher quality of life than patience not in hospice.
Hospice is a service that comes to the patient. Two thirds of the patients
receive care at home. Hospice is a FREE* service for the patient! *Hospice is

Hospice

Hospice care treats the person and symptoms of the disease, rather than treating the disease itself. A team of professionals work together to manage symptoms so that a person’s last days may be spent with dignity and quality, surrounded by their loved ones. Hospice care is also family-centered – it includes the patient and the family in making decisions. Hospice is a covered benefit by Medicare and other insurances.
