AMAVI HOSPICE SERVICE
Comfort and Dignity in Life’s Final Stages
Navigating the final stages of life can be challenging. At Amavi, we provide compassionate, comprehensive care that prioritizes comfort and quality of life for patients and their families.
What is Hospice Care?
Hospice care is specialized support for individuals with life-limiting conditions, focusing on comfort rather than cure. With an emphasis on managing symptoms and providing emotional and spiritual support, our care allows patients to live fully during their remaining time.
WHAT WE OFFER
Our Hospice Services
At Amavi, we recognize that each patient's journey is unique. Our hospice services are tailored to individual needs, routines, and preferences while working in close coordination with our physicians.
Pain & Symptom Management
Our top priority is keeping patients comfortable and free from distressing symptoms. Our hospice team uses specialized medications, therapies, and interventions to manage pain effectively and ensure comfort.
Emotional & Spiritual Support
We understand that illness impacts the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Our counselors provide compassionate emotional and spiritual support, gently guiding patients and families through this profound journey.
Aid with Personal Care
Maintaining dignity and quality of life is essential. Our hospice aides assist with personal care activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and wound care, tailored to each patient’s needs.
Family Support & Counseling
We extend our support to the entire family, offering therapy, coping strategies, and ongoing bereavement services after a loved one’s passing. Our counselors are here to provide guidance and comfort to help families navigate their grief.
Getting Started With Hospice Care
Transitioning to hospice care is a significant step, and we're here to guide you through the process with compassion and expertise. Here’s a brief guide to help you get started.
Referral for Hospice Care
The process begins with a referral from a healthcare provider, such as a physician, nurse practitioner, or other medical professional. Referrals can also come from family members or caregivers recognizing the need for specialized end-of-life support.
Initial Assessment and Personalized Care Plan
Our hospice team conducts a comprehensive assessment to gather information about the patient's health. This helps us determine eligibility and develop a personalized care plan. Families can also discuss their care preferences and ask questions.
Care Commencement & Ongoing Communication
Once eligibility is confirmed, our interdisciplinary team initiates the care plan focused on pain management, personal care, and emotional support. We make regular visits to ensure the patient's comfort and well-being.
"We would truly recommend Amavi Hospice. All care was brilliantly well-coordinated. We were able to give our dad a chance to cherish the last moments of his life at home, with his family and dog, with their assistance. That was his wish. He passed away pain-free and comfortable. They were able to give us the emotional support we needed during our most difficult time.”
