Under the guidance of the Medical Director, hospice nurses play a vital role in the planning and delivery of patient care.
Our nurses provide a specialized and compassionate type of care. From assessment to intervention, nurses work closely with the patient, caregiver, family, personal physician and Medical Director to determine the best means of managing symptoms and pain related to the patient's disease.

Physical comfort and quality of life are driving forces behind care plan development and implementation. Additionally, educating patients and their families about what to status and needs further enhances their comfort.

Nurses are on call 24-hours a day, seven days a week to ensure availability when they are needed.

Certified Nurse Assistants (CNAs), under direction of the hospice nurse, assist with personal care of the patient. Bathing, preparing meals, shopping, changing bed linens for patients, and changing non-sterile dressings are just a few of the many beneficial tasks performed by CNAs as part of the care team.
