What specific assistance does hospice provide home-based patients?
Calvert Hospice provides a team of nurses, social workers, counselors, home health aides, clergy, therapists, and volunteers to care for each patient. Each team member provides assistance based on his or her area of expertise. In addition, Calvert Hospice helps provide medications, supplies, equipment, hospital services, and additional helpers in the home, if and when needed. While most direct patient care is provided by family and friends, Calvert Hospice volunteers are available to assist with errands and to provide a break and time away for caregivers.
