DOES HOSPICE PROVIDE 24-HOUR IN-HOME CARE?
No, but Hospice does provide a skilled care provider with whom the patient and family can speak with 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. On-call staff for spiritual and emotional support as well as physical care can make a visit whenever the need arises by calling 728-8848. If the call comes during business hours one of the patient’s team members will return the call and make a needed visit. If it comes after hours, the on-call nurse will return the call and make a needed visit.
