Services We Offer
We offers several key services that support patients and their families as they provide hospice care at home. Our Skilled Clinicians are available via phone 24/7/365 to answer questions and dispatch someone to the bedside, when necessary. Medical equipment and medications are delivered to the home as well, and respite care provides up to 5 days of Medicare-certified inpatient care for a hospice patient so that family members can take a break from their caregiving duties to relax, unwind, recharge, travel, recover from an illness or attend other events.
When receiving hospice care at home, our patients and their families have access to skilled nurses and clinicians. Our Triage services are available 24-hours a day 7 days a week, providing confidence that help is available 24 hours a day. Live nurse available to answer all questions, concerns and any changes in patient condition, with stand-by skilled nurses available to render home visits for crisis intervention.
Continuous home care provides a skilled nurse at the bedside for up to 24 hours/day for acute symptom management, per Medicare guidelines. Comfort care is an essential part of medical care at the end of life. It is care that helps or soothes a person who is dying. The goals are to prevent or relieve suffering as much as possible and to improve quality of life while respecting the dying person’s wishes.
We make the transition from hospital to home easy for our patients and families by providing a team of Intake specialists who will guide them every step of the way. Our transition goal is targeted to prevent rehospitalizations of chronically ill elderly patients by providing them with comprehensive discharge planning and a home follow-up team for continuity of hospice care at home.
During respite care, patients spend a short time in a Medicare-certified inpatient hospice setting so their primary caregivers can take a break. Santa Rosa Hospice Care support helps caregivers avoid burnout and provide care more efficiently.
Hospice palliative care is supportive care offering comfort to those who are living with a life-limiting illness, and to their loved ones. The aim is to relieve suffering and improve the quality of life. Our hospice agency trains volunteers to support those who are palliative, their caregivers, and those who are grieving.
Most of the time, hospice care is brought to the patient at home, since home is where most seriously ill people want to be in familiar surroundings with familiar routines and familiar faces. All hospices also must offer inpatient care for help in the assessment and management of acute, complex, or uncontrolled symptoms such as pain or shortness of breath that cannot be provided at home or in other settings.
