Amedisys Hospice Care

Hospice care is specialized for individuals with terminal illnesses that no longer respond to medical treatment. Instead of seeking to cure the illness, our focus is on:

- Pain and symptom management

- Emotional and spiritual support

- Assistance for families and caregivers

Family Involvement:

Typically, a family member serves as the primary caregiver and collaborates with our hospice team to develop a comprehensive care plan. Our staff is available 24/7 to meet your needs, ensuring continuous support.

Insurance Coverage:

Hospice services are fully covered by Medicare Part A, Medicaid in most states, and many private or managed care insurances.

Key Benefits:

- Care provided wherever the patient calls home

- 100% of hospice costs covered by Medicare

- 24/7 accessibility

- Focus on comfort and quality of life

- Assistance with daily tasks and personal care

- Emotional and spiritual support

- Paid medications, equipment, and supplies related to the terminal illness

- Bereavement support and respite care for family members

Research Benefits:

Studies show that patients receiving hospice care can live longer than those who do not.

Team Approach:

Your hospice team may include a physician, nurse, social worker, chaplain, bereavement counselor, hospice aide, and volunteers, all working together to determine the necessary frequency and type of services as the patient's needs evolve.
