HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CARE LAKE NORMAN

The vast majority of Americans say what they want at the end of life is to die in their own homes, as comfortable and pain-free as possible. The hospice philosophy is about making sure that a patient’s death experience reflects his or her wishes. Here are five ways that Hospice & Palliative Care Lake Norman helps to deliver this:

Hospice gives you comfort. Hospice teams are experts at managing life-limiting illness. Hospice & Palliative Care Lake Norman ensures that medication, therapies, and treatments all support a care plan that is centered on the patient’s goals. And hospice services can be offered wherever the patient calls home, allowing friends and family to visit freely—something they might not be able to do in a hospital ICU setting.

Hospice gives you peace. Beyond physical relief, hospice strives to help patients and families find emotional and spiritual comfort during what is often a traumatic time. Hospice & Palliative Care Lake Norman provides families with a spiritual care advisor and grief counselor who can best support their struggles with death and grieving. We also give patients and families peace of mind with by providing a social worker to help navigate paperwork and other difficult issues that may arise. These services are part of the hospice benefit, covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or most private insurances.

Hospice gives you something extra. Hospice is not only about compassionate medical care and control of pain. It also offers specialized volunteers who provide pet therapy, massages, companionship, and so much more.

Hospice gives guidance to caregivers. Most people are not prepared to face the death of a loved one.
