Hospice Care
If the need for hospice care arises, residents can receive compassionate care without leaving the Country Woods Assisted living community.
Some of the signs it may be time for hospice care include:
- Frequent visits to the Emergency Room and/or hospitalizations
- The resident declining medical treatments
- Significant weight loss due to inability to eat or lack of desire to eat
- Recurring infections
- Frequent or increased falls
- Decreased focus, increased sleeping, withdrawal, or confusion
- Focus shifting from aggressive treatment to quality of life
We work in conjunction with local hospice programs and the residents’ medical team to provide individualized care.
- Our experienced care team provides physical and emotional comfort to seniors when hospice care is beneficial.
- One of the main objectives of hospice care is to allow residents to live with dignity and be free of pain.
- During this time, residents also have the option to take part in the other amenities that Country Woods offers, including visits from clergy and social services if desired and/or needed.
- Family members of residents benefit from the support of the hospice care team, as they are guided gently through the emotions and decisions that arise during this transition.
- Our hospice care in conjunction with assisted living allows residents the opportunity to remain in the comfort of their existing environment, while at the same time receiving compassionate, professional services.
