Hospice Interdisciplinary Team

Our team utilizes a patient-centered approach. We review physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs for patients and their families. The care patients receive and the amount of time they spend with individual team members depends on their personal plan of care.

Our Team Includes:

Nurse Case Manager

Provides hands-on physical care to ease symptoms and provides comfort to the patient. Coordinates care with the physician and the rest of the hospice team.

Hospice Aide

Provides assistance with personal care, such as bathing and grooming.

Social Worker
