Yes. Home is the most common care setting. Our nurses, aides, social workers and chaplains visit the patient at their residence. Medical equipment and medications related to the hospice diagnosis are coordinated and delivered as needed.
Same-day evaluation may be available when clinically appropriate and operationally available. After a referral or intake call, a nurse will schedule an in-person visit to complete the clinical assessment and enrollment paperwork.
