Major Activities

Activity 2

Hospice is comfort and support; it is compassion and respect. Designed for patients and their families with life-limiting illnesses, hospice is a philosophy of care. A very special kind of care dedicated to providing physical, emotional and spiritual comfort. With hospice, patients can remain at home - alert and pain-free... relaxed... comfortable... and most important, surrounded by their loved ones. We have a special team of trained professionals and volunteers to provide physician directed skilled nursing, home health aides, therapy, dietary, social work services and pastoral care. This team acts on a plan of care that is an individually tailored and well-choreographed approach with the goal of easing the stress and pain at the end of life. Patients served: 204.

Activity 3

Hospice House provides patients and their families a resource for inpatient skilled care at the end of life in their own community. Hospice provides not only the medical care that a patient requires but also cares for the emotional, social and spiritual needs of the patient and their loved ones. Under the direction of a physician, the following team tends to all of the needs of the terminally ill: Registered Nurses, Certified Nursing Assistants, Social Workers, Chaplain and other medical personnel as part of the standards of medical, emotional and spiritual support services provided by the VNA/Hospice of Monroe County. This team acts on a plan of care that is an individually tailored and well-choreographed approach with the goal of easing the stress and pain at the end of life. Patients: 222.
