How will the new inpatient facility affect the way Rainbow Hospice Care currently works with nursing homes?
Rainbow Hospice Care makes it a priority to build, strong, mutually beneficial collaborative relationships with local nursing homes and assisted living facilities to ensure that residents who become eligible for hospice services have access to the benefits available to them. Hospice team members visit patients inside the facility just as they would in a private home setting—providing extra staff and attention to make sure the patient’s needs are met. The difference is that instead of family, paid staff members of the nursing home or assisted living facility are considered the primary caregivers. The addition of a new Rainbow Hospice Care Inpatient Facility will not change the way routine care is provided to nursing home residents.
