Admission Process

The nurse who visits the patient and family serves as the hospice liaison, and can answer any questions about the program and provide information on what to expect. The hospice team then creates a personalized plan of care based on the patient's individual needs and preferences. This interdisciplinary team includes the attending physician, hospice medical director, registered nurse, home health aide, social worker, chaplain and trained volunteers, who work together to ensure that the patient's medical, emotional, and spiritual needs are met.

The hospice team provides ongoing support and education to both the patient and their family members throughout the course of the illness. This includes providing information about pain management, symptom control, and emotional support. Hospice care can be provided in the patient's home, a nursing facility, or an assisted living facility, allowing the patient to receive care in a comfortable and familiar environment.

At Centric Care Hospice, Inc., our goal is to provide compassionate care and support to patients and their families during a difficult time. We strive to improve the quality of life for our patients, and to help them and their loved ones find peace and comfort in their final days.
