How does hospice care help manage pain?
At Hospice of the Shoals, our clinical staff is completely up to date on the latest medications, devices, and procedures designed to aid in pain and symptom relief. Our success rate in battling pain is very high. Most patients are able to attain a level of comfort that is acceptable to them and their loved ones. We also pride ourselves in treating the person as a whole. If ordered by a physician, physical and occupational therapists are available to help patients be as mobile and self suffcient as they are able and music therapy as well as nutritional and spiritual counseling are also available dependent upon patient preference.
