What is involved in caring for a loved one receiving hospice care at home?
The care necessary varies from patient to patient, but we work with the caregiver to develop a personal care plan built around the patient’s needs. Every patient of Hospice of Central Montana has an interdisciplinary team of experts assigned to his or her case. Care teams are made up of physicians, registered nurses, home health aides, social workers, and trained volunteers. We are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide the support you need. As the illness progresses, and if the care needed exceeds the caregiver’s ability or availability, the hospice social worker and the case manager RN can work with you to develop a plan to move the patient to another level of care.
