When you have a family member who needs Hospice care, it can sometimes be overwhelming. As you’re focused on the health of your loved one, you could be concerned about the care that is provided by the nurses and doctors in the facility or in your home. The following are a few of the personal care services Alpharetta GA Hospice providers often offer for patients.
Treatments
The members of the Hospice team will work to provide the necessary treatments for comfort without over-treating patients. The goal of Hospice care is to ensure that each patient is comfortable during their final days while providing oxygen and minimal medications for pain relief when they are needed.
Nursing
Personal care services Alpharetta GA Hospice nurses provide often include monitoring vital signs and symptoms associated with the final stages of life. You can ask questions at any time and learn about some of the signs to look for yourself in the event that there isn’t a nurse with you 24 hours a day. The nurse can inform the doctor about any changes that are noted so that the proper arrangements can be made.
Resources
The nurses who provide Hospice care often connect you with social service resources and other members of the community who can offer support and encouragement when it’s needed. You can be connected to financial support as well as spiritual and emotional support while the nurses provide physical care for your family member and even after your loved one passes away.
