HOW CLINICAL AND NURSING HOME HOSPICE CARE WORK TOGETHER IN ORANGE COUNTY NY www.hospiceoforange.com
INTRODUCTION A Collaborative Approach to Comfort and Care For patients in nursing homes facing terminal illness, hospice care can provide an extra layer of support that focuses on comfort, dignity, and peace. In Hospice Orange County NY, clinical hospice teams work closely with nursing home staff to deliver seamless, compassionate care tailored to each patient’s needs.
What Does This Partnership Look Like?
In a nursing home setting, the primary care staff handles daily routines and personal care. When hospice services are added, clinical experts, including hospice nurses, physicians, social workers, and chaplains, join the team to focus on symptom management, emotional support, and end-oflife planning. Together, these professionals ensure that the patient’s physical, emotional, and spiritual needs are met, without duplication or disruption.
Benefits for Patients and Families Improved pain and symptom control 24/7 access to hospice professionals Ongoing communication with families Bereavement support before and after loss This combined approach helps families feel reassured knowing their loved one is surrounded by both medical care and compassionate support.
A Unified Mission of Dignity and Peace Whether a patient resides in a private home or a nursing facility, the goal remains the same: to provide quality of life in every moment. Through strong collaboration, Hospice Orange County NY helps make this possible every day.
