Life with Dignity

Every patient we admit reinforces the understanding that Dignity Hospice exists because the community gives us the opportunity to serve. Our team desires to make a positive impact on our community through support, education and care delivery excellence. Sympathy is an external perspective of feeling sorrow for someone else’s misfortune. Empathy is the action of entering into an emotional journey with someone. Connecting with others on their journey enables us to render care at a highly individualized personal level.

How can Dignity Hospice give me hope

Hope can be defined as the belief and expectation that, even in the absence of a cure, meaningful and positive experiences are still possible. This form of hope emphasizes the importance of emotional well-being, pain management, and the fulfillment of personal and relationship goals, ensuring that life remains rich and dignified, despite the limitations of illness.

Personalized Care Tailored to Every Need

Dignity Hospice Levels of Care

Routine Home Care

Hospice care is available wherever the patient considers home, whether that’s a private residence, nursing home, assisted living community, or long-term care setting. Members of the hospice team will visit the patient according to their individualized care plan. These visits can occur daily, several times a week, weekly, or as needed based on the patient’s requirement.

Respite Care

Respite care is a level of hospice care designed to provide short-term relief for family caregivers. It allows caregivers to take a break while ensuring that the patient continues to receive care. This level of care allows caregivers to rest and recharge, knowing their loved one is in good hands. Respite care is typically covered as a hospice benefit for up to five days at a time.

General Inpatient Care

General Inpatient (GIP) care is a level of hospice care provided to patients who need short-term inpatient care for symptom management that cannot be managed in other. Is usually covered under the hospice benefit until symptoms are managed

Continuous Care

Continuous Care (CC) is a specialized level of care designed for patients who are experiencing severe symptoms that require constant monitoring and intervention. CC is provided in the patient home setting and involves at least eight hours of nursing care per day. CC is usually covered under the hospice benefit until symptoms are controlled.

Why Dignity Matters

Dignity is a fundamental human right that often feels compromised during serious health challenges. Preserving dignity is central to hospice care. From respecting personal choices to ensuring patients feel valued, hospice care is designed to restore and maintain the sense of self-worth that illness might erode. By prioritizing dignity, caregivers help patients face their journeys with grace, fostering a supportive and empowering environment that honors life at every stage.

Supporting Families in Need

Dignity Hospice care is not limited to patients; it extends its warmth and support to families navigating the complexities of a loved one’s illness. This blog emphasizes the vital role hospice care plays in guiding families through challenging times, offering resources, counseling, and a listening ear. By providing emotional and practical support, hospice teams help families cope with the stress and uncertainty of caregiving. The result is a stronger, more cohesive support system that empowers families to focus on creating meaningful moments with their loved ones.

The Power of Compassion

Compassion is a transformative force, especially in hospice care. It goes beyond administering medication or providing physical support—it’s about connecting with patients on a human level, understanding their fears, and bringing comfort to their hearts. This blog explores the profound impact compassion has on patients and their families, from easing emotional burdens to creating moments of peace and solace. By fostering empathy and kindness, caregivers build trust and provide a sense of security during a vulnerable time, showcasing the true essence of dignity hospice care.
