Receiving Services
The philosophy of hospice care revolves around the importance of advocating the needs of the terminally ill. Hospice care neither hastens death, nor prolongs life but strives to make death a natural part of life.
Heart to Heart Hospice Mission: "The overall mission is to provide compassion and caring, while striving to enhance the quality of life for those with life-limiting illnesses and their loved ones."
Through this program, care is provided to these persons by a specially trained team of Hospice professionals.
The Interdisciplinary team includes:
- Skilled Nursing (RN or LPN, on-call 24 Hours)
- Medical Social Worker
- Home Health Aides
- Medical Director
- Trained Volunteers
- Bereavement/Clergy
- Therapy Services
The team's focus is on palliative care and pain management. Care is provided for the patient in the home or in a home-like setting.
