The Faith and Family Hospice physician specialists work in conjunction with the patient’s attending physician to ensure that there is no gap in coverage in the patient-doctor relationship. Our hospice team provides exceptional medical attention with ample resources to care for and support patients in this time of need.

Our hospice nurses are assigned to each patient to ensure a seamless coordination of services. They manage the patient’s medical needs and are trained in pain management care. They administer required medications and perform routine diagnostic exams on patients. RNs also work with the patient’s family members and friends to round-out the patient’s care plan, advising them on how to help nurture and support the patient.

Hospice Aides care for a patient’s personal needs, such as bathing patients, changing bed linens, assisting with transportation, record keeping, preparing meals and checking various vital signs.

Social workers provide emotional support to the patient and family, they assist with the financial aspects of hospice and act as a liaison to the resources in the community. They also arrange  spiritual, grief and family counseling by coordinating services with community clergy members, psychologists and other professionals.
