If your loved one has been diagnosed with a terminal illness with a prognosis of six months or less, it’s time to seriously consider hospice care. Our hospice services focus on physical comfort, emotional care, and spiritual support.
Here at Crown Hospice, we encourage our patients and their loved ones to begin hospice care as soon as possible so that there is a plan and support system in place for end-of-life care. Starting the process is not giving up on your loved one and it does not hasten their passing. Instead, hospice care will enhance their quality of life and give you more quality time and opportunities for special moments together.
Upon admittance, your loved one will be assigned a care team who will be with them throughout their entire time at Crown. Every member of your care team is here to support you and your loved one, whether they choose to receive hospice care at home or at a facility. In addition to your care team, each hospice patient will have a custom care plan in place. From overseeing all of your medical and comfort needs to providing prayer and emotional support, our staff is here to serve you.
Here at Crown Hospice, our registered nurses (RNs) serve as your care team leaders and so much more. Our nursing plan dictates that, should you choose hospice, our RNs will visit your loved one at least two times per week. Hospice care allows our patients to remain as comfortable as possible, while still receiving necessary medical attention.
Here at Crown Hospice, our licensed practical nurses (LPNs) serve as your skilled care coordinators and so much more. Our nursing plan ensures that, should you choose hospice, our LPNs will provide hands-on medical care and support between RN visits. Hospice care allows our patients to receive consistent, professional nursing attention while maintaining comfort and quality of life in their chosen environment.
Here at Crown Hospice, our medical directors serve as your clinical oversight experts and so much more. Our medical plan ensures that, should you choose hospice, our physicians will oversee your loved one’s care plan and medication management. Hospice care allows our medical directors to coordinate with your existing doctors, ensuring seamless transitions while maintaining the highest standards of comfort-focused medical care.
Here at Crown Hospice, our hospice aids serve as your daily comfort providers and so much more. Our care plan ensures that, should you choose hospice, our aids will assist your loved one with personal care and daily living activities as needed. Hospice care allows our patients to maintain their dignity and independence, while receiving compassionate hands-on support with bathing, grooming, and mobility assistance.
Here at Crown Hospice, our licensed social workers serve as your family advocates and so much more. Our support plan ensures that, should you choose hospice, our social workers will assess your loved one’s psychosocial needs and connect you with community resources. Hospice care allows our patients and families to access counseling, benefits coordination, and emotional guidance during this meaningful time.
Each care team has two aides who are trained to provide personalized care and support for our hospice patients. This includes assisting in the completion of daily activities and relieving primary caregivers who may need a break.
At Crown Hospice, we believe that spiritual guidance is a critical part of the end-of-life journey, and we are proud to offer spiritual support with our hospice services. Patients, caregivers, and loved ones are absolutely encouraged to invite one of our chaplains to visit for prayer, comfort, or conversation.
We’re always looking for compassionate individuals to help support our hospice patients. Simple tasks like offering kindness, companionship, and running errands for these individuals are a big part of this role. If you’re located near one of our locations, we’d love for you to consider joining our care team at Crown Hospice today!
We have developed our hospice services to directly benefit our patients, their loved ones, and those who are responsible for their care. From overseeing all of your medical and comfort needs to providing prayer and emotional support, to maintaining your Durable Medical Equipment (DME), our staff is here to serve you.
Hospice care nursing at Crown Hospice means a lot more than becoming a certified end of life specialist. These nurses (RNs and LPNs) act as a mentor and leader for other care team members. Our nurses provide in-facility care and will also travel to provide in-home hospice care for our patients. Care from RNs and LPNs also comes in the form of our Pain Management Program.
At Crown Hospice, we’ve partnered with reputable, local physicians to provide pain and symptom management. If your loved one would prefer to continue seeing their personal physician after entering into our care, we’ll do everything within our power to honor that request. If the patient’s physician agrees to keep them as a patient, Crown Hospice physicians will collaborate with them to create your loved one’s end-of-life care plan.
Managing pain and improving comfort are crucial parts of hospice care. Crown Hospice’s Pain Management services are customized to fit the needs of each patient and their respective comfort levels. Our treatment enhances the quality of life, which is our number one concern for all patients receiving end of life care.
For some of our patients, the ability to receive hospice care at home or in a facility is crucial for their comfort and happiness. This is why each care team has two people who are dedicated to performing personal care, and homemaker services, and activities of daily living (ADLs). Is the laundry ready to be folded or groceries ready for pickup? When it seems like completing domestic tasks just isn’t in the cards, Crown Hospice aides are here to help.
As a faith-based hospice care provider, Crown Hospice believes that spiritual support is just as important as physical care. Our team prays consistently for our patients and their loved ones. Additionally, our chaplains, nurses, and volunteers are always here to pray over you and provide spiritual healing while on the job.
Spiritual care is optional. Regardless of what beliefs a patient and their loved ones have, we will honor their wishes to accept or deny spiritual support. The best kind of hospice is one that delivers exceptional end-of-life care to every single patient in the program no matter what.
We are proud to employ social workers who help gauge how patients, family members, and caregivers are coping. Our social workers are specifically trained to identify signs of depression, anxiety, and stress. Crown Hospice social workers work closely with bereavement coordinators to ensure that emotional support is not only provided, but also prioritized throughout the entire hospice process.
We want prospective hospice patients, their caregivers, and their family members to feel empowered as they make this important decision. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have questions about our hospice care services.
