Hospice Care Facing a serious illness is never easy.
Hospice care is for individuals who have reached the later stages of their disease.
Hospice care can be offered at:
- One’s home,
- A skilled nursing facility, or
- Inpatient hospice facility.
Regardless of the location, we engage a team of doctors, nurses, social workers, and therapists to develop an individualized care plan best suited to the client’s needs. We provide the physical, emotional and spiritual care needed to help individuals make the most of life’s remaining moments.
At Hospice of Randolph, we are dedicated to the belief that everyone has the right to die pain-free, with dignity and with the support of loved ones.
Studies have shown that patients who receive hospice care generally live 25% longer and more comfortably than those who do not.
Hospice Care at Home
For many people, keeping patients comfortable and free of pain is best achieved at home. The ability to make the decision to receive in-home care is a gift to patients and their families. Patients of all ages, with any life-limiting illness, may benefit from in-home services to make the most of each remaining day.
