Hospice care is a specialized care designed to provide support to you and your loved ones during an advanced illness. Hospice care focuses on comfort and quality of life, rather than cure. The goal of hospice care is to enable you to have an alert, pain-free life … to live each day as fully as possible. Hospice care affirms life and views death as a natural process.
Alpine Home Care is there for you, providing compassionate care and knowledgeable caregivers every step of the journey.
Hospice Care Supplemented with Alpine Home Care Services
The scope of Hospice programs varies from one community to another and it may be necessary to supplement your loved one’s care with some additional caregivers.
Family caregivers are often in over their heads managing a dying loved one’s care at home and desperately need extra help. When the need for further care arises beyond that which your hospice program can provide, then non-medical homecare can be called upon to assist.
Alpine Home Care can furnish caregivers including nurse assistants, companions and homemakers to complement hospice care already provided. Most families privately pay for these non-medical services but long term care insurance, some Medicaid and Veterans programs may help as well. Essentially your approach to offset home care costs is to receive the maximum services available from Hospice and supplement as needed with privately paid services.
