Assisted living is a wonderful option when you no longer want the hassles of taking care of your own home, but are not ready for a long-term care facility. If that’s where you call home, you’ll find that the services we offer are not all that different from care at home.
Several things you’ll want to know about palliative and hospice care in assisted living:
- We’ll collaborate with the staff at your facility to help meet your needs, wherever you choose to live
- We will help in communicating with your family, whether here or out of town
- Your family will receive the same options for emotional support as any of our families
- The extra one-on-one attention you will receive may help you stay independent longer
- As your needs change, your care team will help you and your family identify more resources
- If you need to transition to a long-term care facility, we will assist and continue to provide your care (hospice only)
- Maintaining your independence and dignity is of utmost importance to us
