Our Team

"We promise to take care of your loved one with the utmost care with dignity and honesty."

Hospice care incorporates the need and concern of our patients and their families. It includes a team of professionals who are trained and experienced focusing on the dying patient's needs, from physical, emotional, or spiritual.

Our goal is to help keep the patient as pain-free as possible, with loved ones nearby. The hospice team develops a care plan that meets each person's individual needs for pain management and symptom control. Our team includes:

• Medical Director: Hospice Medical Director collaborates with other members of the hospice team and the patient’s primary physician to help manage the patient’s discomfort and symptoms.
• Attending physician: Attending physician refers patients to hospice and remains patient’s primary care physician while working as a member of the hospice team.
• Registered Nurse: Registered Nurses are educated in palliative care and pain control. They work with patients to establish and maintain comfort as well as quality of life. Their responsibilities also include educating family members to provide better patient care for their loved ones.
• Certified Nursing Assistant: Nursing Assistants are available to provide patients with bathing, personal and comfort care.
• Medical Social Worker: Medical Social Workers provide individual and family counseling to help meet the challenges of  a terminal illness. The social worker also facilitates family communication, arrange support for caregivers, and help find financial and legal assistance.
• Hospice Chaplain: Chaplains provide spiritual counseling for people of all faiths, planning services, and serve as a liaison between the family and clergy in the community.
• Bereavement Counselor: Bereavement Counselors offer a variety of services to the patient’s family to help with understanding and dealing with grief.
• Hospice Volunteer: Hospice Volunteers are caring and compassionate individuals who support patients and loved ones by providing respite care and friendly visits.
