Hospice care generally happens when someone nears the end of life. However, it doesn’t mean the end of hope. We believe in new beginnings at Phoenix Home Care & Hospice, which is why we promise to provide health care that uplifts and edifies our clients receiving hospice care in the comfort of their own home.
Hospice provides comfort care and focuses on quality of life for those facing life-limiting illness. Hospice care does not give us the power to shorten or prolong life – instead, it gives us the power to choose how we live.

Hospice care is appropriate for patients of any age, and it is extended to their family members who may feel distressed and in need of spiritual and emotional support. Phoenix Home Care & Hospice makes a difference for both patients and their families.
Hospice care consists of a collection of services. It isn’t just patient care for the terminally ill, along with pain and stress relief, but also emotional and spiritual support. It can be anything from music therapy to massages, medication management, personal care, and more. Our hospice care is completely personalized so that the services you or your loved ones receive is suited to your condition.

People often see hospice as giving up. However, hospice is a New Beginning. When a person says yes to hospice, they are saying:
End-of-life care is required when a patient is no longer willing to treat a long-term, life-limiting illness. Hospice care does not necessarily take place in a medical facility. On the contrary, you can choose a place where your loved one would feel most comfortable, such as in their own home or a family residence. Regardless of the facility you choose for the patient, Phoenix Home Care & Health never sacrifices the quality of hospice care we provide.
Being ready for hospice care does not mean a patient is taken to a facility where they would be connected to medical equipment and given medication. It is the opposite of it. While the equipment and medications must be present to prevent health deterioration, the hospice care plan offers quality time with family, wish fulfillment, and therapy.
To ease the process, families can benefit from end-of-life plan assistance and receive guidance from a counselor in order to handle the loss.
A patient suffering from a terminal illness should have a prognosis of six months or less to be eligible for hospice care. A patient who is willing to quit treatment and concentrate on comfort and emotional well-being can receive end-of-life care. Some life-limiting illnesses include:
Medicare & Medicaid provide 100% coverage for hospice services. Most private insurance includes some coverage for the hospice benefit. The Phoenix Hospice team works directly with you and your physician to create an individualized plan of care that will meet your needs and help you live life the way you choose.
Our hospice team is a group of medical professionals who are trained and experienced in providing end-of-life comfort care. Thanks to their expertise, they can identify the needs and evaluate the health condition of patients to react in a timely manner. It is our team’s utmost importance to help the elderly to maintain good well-being.
Apart from doctors and nurses, you can expect to have spiritual counselors, bereavement counselors, home health aids, and medical social workers working jointly in hospice care. Hospice doctors usually work alongside the patient’s personal physician, another expert who knows the intricacies of the patient’s health.
When it comes to emotional and spiritual support, chaplains will guide the whole family through a hard time, while bereavement counselors will offer support after the patient’s death.
Hospice is never an easy choice, but it can be a path to compassion, dignity, and new beginnings. Contact Phoenix Home Care & Hospice to discuss your options for compassionate care at this stage of life.
