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 of Victoria, TX, 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 our 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 home hospice, our RNs will visit your loved one at least two times per week. Home hospice allows our patients to remain as comfortable as possible, while still receiving necessary medical attention.
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 of Victoria, 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, aides, 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 in or around the Victoria, TX area, 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. We offer the following services:
Hospice care nursing at Crown Hospice means a lot more than becoming a certified end of life specialist. These Registered Nurses (RNs) act as a mentor and leader for other care team members. Our nurses will travel anywhere to provide in-home hospice care at home for our patients. Care from RNs also comes in the form of our Pain Management program.
At Crown Hospice of Victoria, 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 at-home hospice care 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 over our patients and their loved ones every week. 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 of Victoria 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.
If you want to support our hospice care program, our patients, and our community as a whole, please do not hesitate to donate!
