Hospice of Visiting Nurse Service


Eligibility

Hospice care is available for individuals whose condition has been defined as terminal.

 

Many patients and families consider Hospice care 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

 

Referrals to Hospice of VNS can be made by the patient, family, friends, physicians, clergy, or other health professionals. A Hospice nurse or social worker will schedule an initial visit with the patient and family to discuss the Hospice program and eligibility.
