What is Hospice?
Hospice is not a place but a concept. Its goal is to neither hasten nor postpone death, but to offer compassionate care to those patients for whom curative measures are no longer an option. Hospice provides terminally ill patients and their families with customized medical care and pain management, as well as emotional and spiritual support.
At Valir Hospice in Oklahoma, our team is committed to the belief that each of us has the right to die free of pain and with dignity. To help make this possible, we extend our support not only to the patient but to their family and loved ones. We educate both the patient and their family about the diagnosis and what to expect as it progresses — helping ease the anxiety associated with what’s to come. This education and support, and the individualized plan of care are central to the Valir Hospice mission.
How is Hospice Home Care Delivered?
Hospice home care in is delivered through an interdisciplinary team of dedicated hospice professionals. Supervised by a hospice physician, this team develops an individualized care plan for each patient and makes regular visits to assess the patient’s condition, providing other services as needed.
Most hospice patients receive care in their own homes or in the home of a loved ones. Hospice home care may also be delivered to patients who live in nursing homes, hospitals, assisted-living facilities and independent-living facilities. Typically, one family member serves as the primary caregiver and, when appropriate, helps make decisions for the patient. Valir Hospice provides care and support for both the patient and family.
