Hospice Of Southeastern Connecticut Inc

About

Keeping Life Meaningful Living as fully as possible until the time of death is the philosophy of care at the heart of every hospice program. Hospice care is holistic. Experts in pain and symptom control, our nurses work closely with the physician to keep patients pain free and alert. Equally important, our interdisciplinary team nurtures and supports the emotional and spiritual needs of our patients and families. Knowing What to Expect Throughout the illness, our patients and families know what to expect. Hospice staff provide a steady flow of information and are readily available to answer questions and address concerns as they arise. There are no surprises. Who Refers to Hospice Patients come to us through referrals from physicians, families, friends and clergy. We encourage patients and families to call and find out if hospice care is right for them. All too often we hear, "I wish we had known about hospice sooner, your care made such a difference." We are always available to answer questions and provide information. The sooner we can be involved, the more help and assistance we can provide during such difficult times. Our Caregiving Team All of the Hospice Southeastern Connecticut team members receive special training in the care of terminally ill patients. We are skilled at keeping patients physically comfortable and understand the psychosocial impact of caring for a dying family member at home. We develop a plan of care to maintain the patient at home or in alternate facilities if home care is not possible. We provide equipment and medications, help with household chores and transportation, and aid with bathing and grooming.
