Enso Hospice provides much more than medical attention; they deliver an extensive range of support services. Our approach emphasizes emotional sustenance not only for the patient but also for family members at every stage of the journey, extending into grief counseling following the loss of a loved one.
Recognizing the profound challenge this period may present, Enso is dedicated to fostering a serene environment. This is achieved through personalized spiritual counsel and therapy sessions designed to meet the individual needs of each patient. Furthermore, we offer practical help in managing advance directives and handling documentation for insurance entities or funeral services when required.
Key aspects of hospice comfort care include:
- Pain and Symptom Management: Medical professionals work to manage pain and other distressing symptoms, such as nausea, shortness of breath, and fatigue, to ensure the patient is as comfortable as possible.
- Emotional and Spiritual Support: Counselors, chaplains, or spiritual advisors provide emotional and spiritual support to help patients and families cope with the emotional aspects of terminal illness.
- Family Support: Hospice care extends beyond the patient, offering counseling, respite care, and support to family members and caregivers.
- Interdisciplinary Team Approach: Hospice care is typically provided by an interdisciplinary team that may include doctors, nurses, home health aides, social workers, therapists, and volunteers.
- Care in the Patient’s Preferred Setting: Hospice care is often provided in the patient’s home, but it can also be offered in hospice centers, hospitals, and nursing homes.
- Bereavement Support: Hospice care includes bereavement support for family members, helping them cope with grief and loss after the patient’s death.
Overall, hospice comfort care is about providing compassionate, dignified care that respects the wishes of the patient while ensuring their comfort and quality of life during their final days.
