Getting Care During Covid-19
Our Safe Care Practices
-
We have increased our stringent infection control practices to further minimize and prevent the spread of the virus.
-
During patient visits, staff may wear additional protective equipment, such as a gown, mask and/or gloves, even though it is not required, to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
-
All staff are self-screening daily for signs of infection, which include fever, cough, shortness of breath and sore throat. Additionally, we are monitoring any staff who have recently traveled.
-
All volunteer activities have been temporarily suspended, to protect both our patients and our volunteers and to follow the CDC’s recommendation for limiting contact through social distancing.
-
Our team members are limiting exposure with one another and will utilize videoconferencing for meetings.
What is Hospice Care?
Hospice care is based on the philosophy of treating the patient by focusing on their quality of life and symptom management when curative measures are no longer available or desired. Hospice care helps to ensure patients are pain-free, surrounded, comforted and at peace as they transition.
