In just three decades, Hospice care has quietly revolutionized the way people die in America by honoring wishes and bringing peace, dignity, and comfort to millions of patients and families.
Hospice of North Idaho has been a part of this compassionate care revolution for over 25 years.
What makes hospice care unlike any other?
Our interdisciplinary team of nurses, social workers, home health aides, bereavement counselors, volunteers, chaplains and physicians work to provide expert medical and compassionate care at the end of life. Hospice care emphasizes pain and symptom management, and psychosocial/spiritual support to ease difficult physical and emotional challenges and support to the bereaved.
This holistic approach is tailored to meet the needs and wishes of the individual. Patients and families are given the tools to help cope with terminal illness in a meaningful way. It is recognized that much of the pain and sense of hopelessness that accompany a life-limiting illness is eased by Hospice care. |
