Hospice Care - Surround yourself with Support
The Circle of Faith Hospice team offers a holistic approach to Hospice Care with a focus on the quality of life for those facing a life-limiting illness. By focusing on the quality of life, we help our patients to make the most of the time that they have left to live and to live it well. We understand that this is a season that is full of emotion and that Hospice Care is often met with fear and confusion. We aim to minimize your concerns and to eliminate the uncertainty associated with the medical and non-medical care that one receives under their treatment Care Plan.
Hospice is not a place
Hospice Care is not a place, and Circle of Faith Hospice delivers care and support to wherever it is that you call home. We visit patients in their homes, in the home of a loved one, at assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and hospitals. We believe that caring for our patients in the environment where they feel comfortable, safe, and secure is optimal. Studies indicate that patients on Hospice Care that are able to reside in their own homes experience less irritability and anxiety, allowing the patient to rest easier than if they hospitalized.
A Quality of Life Focus = Living Well
If you've opted to experience your final days savoring the life that you have left and celebrating the life that you've lived rather than choosing to seek treatments that will only prolong your life for a short period of time, then we would like to help. Our primary focus is to assist by making sure that you live your life where you want, surrounded by those that you cherish. We strive to keep you involved in the activities that bring you joy, enjoying the foods that you like, and we do this by focusing on you as a person despite your medical condition.
We Support your Support Team
We are not just here to serve the patient, we are here to educate and support those that have always been there for you and that strive to give you the emotional and physical support and care that you require. We understand that this time can be wrought with a sea of emotion and that caregivers are prone to neglect to care for themselves or becoming overwhelmed with trying to balance their own responsibilities with caring for you.
The majority of the caregivers that we encounter tend to experience a sense of relief once the patient's hospice care team is assembled. By reassuring them that they are not alone, answering questions that have been weighing heavily on their minds, and relieving them of "playing nurse" will allow them to refocus their energy on spending time with their loved one. Returning to the role of wife, mother, husband, father, daughter, son, sister, or brother is often perceived as a gift.
Respite Care
Another important benefit of Hospice Care for caregivers is providing relief in the form of Respite Care. By providing Respite Care, this allows them to attend a special event or appointment, or just to get some time alone.
Your Hospice Experience & Your Journey
Each patient and each family is unique. Therefore, each experience is different and is your own unique journey. By choosing to implement a Hospice Care Plan with Circle of Faith Hospice, you are taking control of the care that you will receive during your end of life experience. This is not about giving up, it is about creating an environment that will enhance your journey by allowing you to choose where you are and who is there with you. Your Hospice Care Plan allows you the opportunity to create new memories, experience new things, and to complete your earthly journey with grace and dignity.
Bereavement and Grief Support
Experiencing the loss of a loved one is never easy, and we understand that the time following the passing of their loved one is a difficult road to travel. Circle of Faith Hospice provides assistance in the form of peer counseling, group support, and the opportunity to participate in a celebration of life ceremony to honor their loved one.
Hospice is not about Giving Up
The majority of Hospice Patients only receive Hospice Care services for a very short period of time. We urge you to take action and contact us today to discuss your situation. Our staff will help you to take the necessary steps that will allow you and your loved one to focus on the quality of your time together, rather than dwelling on the amount of time that you have left.
You can reach out to us to speak to an experienced Hospice Registered Nurse by calling us at any time, or you can submit the contact form, to have a member of our staff contact you.
