The full benefits
Home through a crisis
When symptoms surge, continuous care brings a hospice nurse to the bedside — so your loved one can stay home instead of going to a hospital.
For the patient
The freedom to stay home during a symptom crisis, in a familiar bed, surrounded by family — rather than being moved to a hospital.
For the family
Immediate relief from the panic of managing a crisis alone. A trained hospice nurse arrives, takes over, and stays until symptoms are stable.
What is included
One-on-one nursing at the bedside for at least 8 hours in a 24-hour period, physician-directed medication adjustments, and coordination with the on-call clinical team. Fully covered by Medicare.
Peace of mind
Continuous care is not something you have to ask for — the hospice team activates it the moment it is needed, day or night.
