NURSING HOME CARE

For residents of a nursing home or other facility, hospice is the opportunity to receive an extra level of care, from expert professionals.

Hospice care provides expertise in the area of pain control and symptom management, complementing the care offered by the safe and caring environment of the nursing home or other residential facility.

Studies show that patients who are referred to hospice care as early as possible experience a far superior quality of life, with fewer hospitalizations and a decrease in symptoms.

Referrals for hospice care can come from you, your loved ones, your physician, or your nursing home staff. Medicare-certified hospices require physicians to certify that a patient’s prognosis is expected to be six months or less.

Hospice care in nursing homes is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most insurance plans. Financial assistance may also be available.
