How are Personalized Hospice Care Plans Created for Patients?

At our organization, we believe that care always matters, and we work closely with you to create a care plan tailored to your family’s unique needs. The process is designed to ensure comfort, dignity, and peace of mind through a structured approach:

1. Initial Assessment: The journey begins when you, a caregiver, or a physician requests an assessment. A registered nurse typically completes an initial evaluation within 48 hours.
2. Comprehensive Evaluation: Within five calendar days, our interdisciplinary team performs a full evaluation of the patient’s physical, psychosocial, emotional, and spiritual needs. This includes a thorough review of medications to identify any side effects or interactions.
3. Defining Care Goals: Working alongside our Medical Director and nursing staff, we discuss what matters most to you and your loved one. These priorities become the roadmap for the services we provide.
4. Selecting Services and Therapies: We select the specific supports that will bring those goals to life. This may include Skilled Nursing Care, Pain Management, Daily Living Assistance, and Alternative Therapies like Cherish Touch, Cherish Sounds, or pet therapy.
5. Ongoing Support and Updates: Because needs change, we reassess and update the care plan at least every 15 days, or sooner if a condition shifts. Our 24/7 Dedicated Response Team is always available to listen and adapt the plan immediately.

We treat your family like our own, ensuring that while we cannot change the outcome, we can affect the journey. Please consult with a healthcare professional for personalized medical advice, as results may vary based on individual patient conditions.
