How does Mercy Hospice Care manage pain?
For most hospice patients, even a small amount of relief can seem like a miracle. Fortunately, Mercy Hospice services often bring immense relief and a sense of comfort to patients who suffer. In collaboration with your primary physician and our Mercy Hospice Care medical directors, our specially trained nurses will provide you or your loved one with the latest treatments and medications for pain and symptom relief. In addition, Mercy Hospice Care’s physical and occupational therapists can help patients become as mobile and self-sufficient as possible. Pain can also be managed with diet counseling. Emotional and spiritual pain can be just as agonizing as physical pain and Mercy Hospice Care offers qualified counselors, including clergy, to assist both the patient and the patient’s family to cope with emotional and spiritual distress.
