Hospice represents a supportive philosophy and concept of care available to those nearing the end of life.

Hospice is a positive, empowering form of care designed to provide comfort and support to patients and their families when a life-limiting illness no longer responds to cure-oriented treatments.

The goal of hospice is to neither prolong life nor hasten death, but to help patients live as dignified and pain-free as possible.

Hospice care is provided by a team of specially trained professionals, including physicians, nurses, social workers, and spiritual counselors, as well as volunteers and family members. Care can be provided in a variety of living situations, including at home, the hospital, a nursing home, or an assisted living facility.

Medicare, Medicaid, and most insurance carriers cover the cost of hospice care and related medications and medical supplies.

Responding to the social, emotional, and spiritual needs of terminally ill persons, hospice puts both patient and family at the center of care planning. If you believe someone you know may benefit from hospice care, please don’t hesitate to call our office for a consultation with our staff.

Hospice services include:

  • Physician Services
  • Nursing Care
  • Medical Social Services
  • Spiritual Support and Counseling
  • Home Care Aide and Homemaker Services
  • Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapies
  • Trained Volunteers for Support Services
  • 24-Hour On-call Availability

There are several benefits to choosing hospice care:

  • Give your loved one the opportunity to make the most of their remaining time
  • Ensure your loved one is peaceful and comfortable
  • Improve your loved one´s alertness and interaction with friends and family
  • Receive support from specially trained volunteers
  • Get access to emotional, social, and spiritual counseling services
  • Obtain bereavement counseling and support for surviving family members

At Aveanna we strive to ease suffering and to enhance quality of life so that your loved one can spend their remaining time in comfort and with dignity, surrounded by friends and family.

As a well-established hospice provider, our dedicated and compassionate staff has built a reputation for quickly providing symptom relief and enhancing quality of life.

Our team of hospice professionals will develop a care plan that addresses the specific needs of your loved one and your family, including emotional and spiritual support.

At Aveanna Hospice we understand that the decision to choose hospice is a difficult one. Some may consider hospice to be a decision to give up; however, we believe hospice is really a decision to make the most of time remaining.

Many families who have received hospice services wish that they had taken advantage of hospice sooner. Although hospice is intended for patients with six months or less to live, many patients receive only a few days of hospice and are unable to take full advantage of the peace and comfort that comes with hospice services.

Patients who may benefit from hospice include patients with terminal cancer, patients in the end stages of Heart Disease, Lung Disease, Kidney Disease, Stroke, Alzheimer’s, Dementia, HIV/AIDs, ALS, and patients with a general failure to thrive.

You’re not alone in making this decision. Our specially trained physicians and nurses are available to help you understand when hospice is appropriate.
