In-Home Hospice Care Services
End-of-life care provides you and your loved ones with the support and comfort you need to move through the final stage of life. Our in-home hospice staff is available to assist patients, family members and friends in various ways to ensure their physical, mental and emotional comfort.
We can coordinate medical, personal and spiritual care to ease stress during the final stages of life. Our goal is to help your family go through the grieving process even if your loved one hasn’t passed yet.
Your care team includes a group of individuals who are dedicated to maintaining your or your loved one’s quality of life after receiving a terminal diagnosis. Those individuals may include a physician, social worker, health aide, spiritual adviser and grief support professionals.
We strive to become an extension of your family who will assist in any way necessary. And as your extended family, we will remain by your side to ensure everyone feels comfortable and supported during end-of-life care.
Benefits of In-Home Hospice Care
Levels of Care
Each patient receives a personalized service plan based on their unique needs. Ohioans offers routine home hospice care and continuous hospice care. Routine care is provided on an as-needed basis if you’re stable and your symptoms are well-managed. Continuous in-home hospice care provides a more hands-on approach to managing your symptoms and comfort.
A Sense of Familiarity
Going through the final stages of an illness or injury can be intimidating. Receiving care in the comfort of your home can help you feel more at ease than in an inpatient facility. You get the assistance you need while being surrounded by your friends and family. And your loved ones can stay close during this time of transition.
Family Involvement
In-home hospice care includes familial support, grief counseling and spiritual services to assist all involved. Our hospice team is committed to keeping loved ones informed and providing them with the necessary resources. We also provide suggestions to help loved ones provide assistance and comfort between visits.
Care Coordination
Hospice care can lighten the clinical load so patients and families can focus on each other. We maintain communication with physicians, specialists, therapists and other clinical staff to promote consistent treatment.
