Hospice
Hospice care focuses on providing comfort, rather than a cure.
When a diagnosis is terminal and a goal of recovery is no longer possible or desired, ConnectCare and GRHS are here for our patients and their families.
We’re partners in delivering end-of-life care that’s thoughtful, respectful and comforting. We strive to help patients live well through the process of dying, whether months or just days remain.
Hospice isn’t a place. It’s an approach to caring for the whole person that
includes:
- Nursing care for comfort or pain relief
- Therapies to ease pain or distress – music, pet visits, massage
- Help with tasks of daily living, like showering and grooming
- Psychological care to help with depression and anxiety
- Emotional support to ease sadness, fear and grief
- Spiritual connection as desired
- Social services that provide advocacy and resources
- Family involvement and education
- Grief counseling
Hospice care can be delivered in a variety of settings:
- In a private home
- At GRHS Long Term Care, or any nursing facility
- At a hospice-care facility
- In the hospital
When someone you love is facing a terminal illness, hospice care can help ease everyone’s pain.
