HOSPICE ASSISTANCE IN-HOME CARE
Hospice care is a specialized care designed to provide support to you and your loved ones during an advanced terminal illness where curative treatment is no longer possible. It is for those who have reached a point in their lives when the goals of care become comfort focused. They understand that a cure for their illness is no longer a reality, or they have chosen to no longer seek aggressive treatment. Our focus is on making you or your loved one comfortable.
Hattie Mae’s Home Care is proud to offer in-home hospice, wherever you call home. This can be in your own home, assisted living facility, or skilled nursing facility. Most individuals want to spend the end of their life in the comfort of their own home, where it can give families and their loved ones the chance to spend more time together in a setting that is as familiar and comfortable as possible.
Not only can these services aide your elderly loved one receiving hospice care, but having a little extra help can give you balance and focus on quality time and bring peace of mind and respite for your family. Our personal home care assistants know the special needs of those nearing the end of life. We can help improve their palliative care in many ways including:
- keep client comfortable
- turning every two hours to prevent skin breakdown
- provide incontinence care/keeping client clean and dry
- provide bedside companionship and support
- meal preparation/special diets (pureed, mechanical soft,
- thickened liquids, etc)
- maintaining personal hygiene
- oral hygiene/mouth care
- mediating depression
- alerting family or hospice of any changes
