In The Moments That Matter Most, You Are Not Alone
Home health care helps people remain safely at home and live as independently as possible during recovery from a surgery, injury or illness, managing a serious or chronic disease or dealing with multiple diagnoses.
We give you the tools and resources to help control your disease, achieve your health goals, and live life to its fullest. Based on your doctor's orders and your clinical needs, our care team comes to your home to provide health care services such as skilled nursing, home health aides, and physical, occupational or other therapies.
Through working with you and your doctors, we develop a plan for you to manage medications and teach you about your condition. Our team helps you understand the expected course of your illness and watch for warning signs, and we work with your doctor to treat problems before they turn into something serious.
Hospice care is supportive care for families — not just the person facing the end of life.
When a loved one has six months or less to live, they can receive compassionate care from a hospice team with the goal of maintaining comfort and quality of life. As the caregiver, you receive the peace of mind of knowing your loved one is receiving a care program tailored to their needs.
At Amedisys, we know that every day of life matters, and we view hospice as a means for allowing people to make the very most of their time, even when faced with life-limiting circumstances.
We care for our patients, working to help them achieve personal goals and to bring joy, comfort and fulfillment into every moment possible while also serving as a strong support system to their families. Depending on each patient’s needs, hospice care can include:
- Pain, symptom and medication management
- Skilled nursing care
- Hospice aides for activities of daily living
- Social worker services
- Hospice volunteers for companionship and support
- Spiritual care and support
- Physical, occupational and speech therapy
- Grief, bereavement and nutritional counseling
We’re here to help. Talk to a specialist today so your loved one can receive hospice for the full benefit period.
