What is Hospice and Palliative Care?
The hospice philosophy recognizes death as the final stage of life and seeks to enable patients to continue an alert, pain-free life and to manage other symptoms so that their last days may be spent with dignity and quality, surrounded by their loved ones.
Palliative care is designed to help reduce both the physical pain and emotional suffering of patients during their final stages of illness. At the heart of hospice is the belief that every person has the right to die pain free and with dignity—and that families deserve care and support as well. Because everyone’s situation is different, Angelic Arms Home Hospice Care helps create a personalized care plan, tailored to a loved one’s specific needs.
What are the advantages of hospice?
Hospice treats the person, instead of the disease; focuses on the family, instead of just the individual; and emphasizes the quality of life, instead of its duration. Hospice care allows terminally ill patients and their families to experience the end of life together, in the comfort and security of home or a home-like setting. Hospice uses the combined knowledge and skills of an interdisciplinary team of professionals, including physicians nurses, home care aides, social workers, spiritual caregivers, counselors, and volunteers. Hospice care is a cost-effective alternative to services provided in hospitals, nursing homes, and other institutional settings. Hospice is the preferred choice of health care delivery for the terminally ill and their families.
