Hospice of Visiting Nurse Service
Overview
Hospice is a unique program for terminally ill patients and their families. The
focus of Hospice is to help the patient and family with end of life decision-making,
meeting life's goals, enhancing family relationships, and promoting comfort. Hospice
care is provided by a specially-trained team of caring health professionals and
volunteers who strive to keep patients and their families comfortable, at peace,
and in control of their lives during a changing time.
Hospice is an option when:
- Comfort-oriented care to improve the quality of life is most important
- Life is measured in weeks or months rather than years
- Curative treatment is not an alternative or is no longer desired
Hospice of VNS cares for patients wherever they live. Although home is the primary
setting, care can be provided to patients in retirement communities, independent
and assisted living residences, nursing facilities and other settings. Hospice services
are also available at the Justin T. Rogers Care Center. The goal at the Care Center
is to provide compassionate hospice services in a home-like setting for patients
needing acute inpatient care, respite care or residential care. Trusted care for
those in need. Ask for Hospice of VNS. Hospice of VNS is available in Medina, Portage,
Stark, Summit, and Wayne counties. Please see our Contact Us page for more information
on locations.
Hospice services are covered in full or in part by Medicare, Medicaid, and most
major medical insurance companies and managed care organizations.
