How does hospice “manage pain”?
The nurses and doctors at United Hospice Service are up-to-date on the latest medications and devices for pain and symptom relief. Our nurses have received additional training in symptom management and palliative care and most of our nurses are certified in the specialty of hospice and palliative care. This means they have passed a rigorous nationwide test to determine knowledge in palliative care as well as care at the end of life. If needed, physical and occupational therapists can assist patients to be as mobile and self-sufficient as possible and may be joined by additional specialists such as a massage therapist or dietitian for nutritional counseling. United Hospice also recognizes that emotional and spiritual pain are just as real and in need of attention as physical pain, so it addresses these, as well. Counselors, including clergy, are available to assist family members as well as patients.
