Hospice can be a Relief for Overwhelmed Families

When your loved one becomes terminally ill, it can be a very physically and emotionally draining time for both you and your loved one. Part of the beauty of hospice care, is that it isn’t just for the patient. Luckily, the hospice team is there to provide support to the entire family.

Hospice family care begins when you first get in touch with us for information. The team here at La Bella Vita Hospice Inc will ask you all of the necessary questions to learn more about your loved one’s current condition. While we have this conversation, we will provide you with all of the information on the signs and symptoms that imply that it might be time for hospice. 

This is your opportunity to learn more about the services hospice provides including hospice family support.

Starting Hospice

Hospice care can easily be provided anywhere where your loved one resides. However, in most cases, that place will either be a family home or an assisted living facility. For patients who live in an assisted living facility, home hospice supports your family and facility staff by providing an increased level of care. 

Our great amount of experience in end-of-life care can provide your family with an extra set of eyes and ears to track symptoms and increase visits as needed. In addition to this, your loved one will receive visits from volunteers, physicians, a chaplain, and a social worker to ensure that they are fulfilled in every way possible.

We’re Your 911

Caring for a loved one who has a terminal illness can be an extremely stressful experience. Their symptoms can change very fast. That is why we are available 24/7, 7 days a week, in order to answer all of your questions and visit your loved one to ensure that their symptoms are managed. 

Instead of calling an ambulance or sending your loved one off to an ER or urgent care, you can call us for the help you need. We can help your loved one stay home where they truly want to be.

Respite Care

Even with extra help within the home, caregiving can often be a very overwhelming experience. That is why hospice family care can offer the option of short-term respite care when a caregiver is in need of a break to recharge their batteries.

Ongoing Hospice Family Care

Grief is natural. Our team of bereavement coordinators can help support families through their grief. Get in touch with La Bella Vita Hospice Inc today to learn more.
