How Inspiration Hospice Help

Hospice care is a family-centered approach that includes, at a minimum, a team of doctors, nurses, hospice aides, social workers, chaplains, counselors, and trained volunteers.

The Goal of Hospice Care Team

The interdisciplinary team of hospice care professionals work together focusing on the dying person’s physical, emotional, or spiritual needs.

The goal is to help keep the person as pain-free as possible, with loved ones nearby until death. The hospice team develops a care plan that meets each person’s individual needs for pain management and symptom control.

  • Your Personal Physician

Hospice is Not Just for the Patient

Hospice care is provided by a full team of professionals and volunteers. This professional team works together to support individuals and their families during their last months of life.

The team works closely with the patient, their family, and the patient’s personal physician to develop an individualized plan of care that helps the patient meet their goals for living the last few months of their life in the best way possible.

Hospice Is For Families As Well As Patients.

A vital component of hospice care is the support and education given to the families and caregivers who are caring for the person who is living with the terminal illness. The staff work closely with all members of the patient’s circle, helping them understand what is happening, what they can expect moving forward, and empowering them to provide the care when the team is not present.

Grief Support for Surviving Members

The bereavement staff of the hospice team support the family members after the death of their loved one for at least 13 months.

Inspiration Hospice help the family through all those painful firsts – the first Thanksgiving, first holidays, first birthday, and the first anniversary of the death. Through mailings, phone calls, and optional support groups and individual meetings, those who are grieving can access support along this road of transition.

Hospice Care is 100% Free

People often choose not to opt for hospice because they do not want to burden their loved ones with financial stress. However, did you know hospice care services do not cost you anything? It is 100% free.

Hospice care is an established part of the healthcare system. The Hospice services are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most insurance plans. Inspiration Hospice provides the same high quality of care to everyone regardless of insurance or financial means.

This means Hospice Care doesn’t cost the patient or his family anything. Medicare covers expenses the patient or family would otherwise have to pay for.
