At Amedisys, we offer more than hospice care. We take the time to understand the specific needs of each of our patients and their loved ones. We do this because it’s the right thing to do, and because it helps to ensure our patients’ satisfaction and quality of life.
We are passionately committed to the exceptional delivery of individualized hospice care that meets patients and their families where they are – with the care that is right for them.
Amedisys Hospice Care provides compassionate, non-curative medical care and support for people facing a life-limiting illness, as well as their families. We offer a support system of medical, social, psychological, and spiritual services that promotes dignity and affirms quality of life.
Different patients require different levels of care, and our hospice services are designed to meet each individual’s needs in the most appropriate and comfortable location.
Amedisys cares for the whole patient. Our comprehensive hospice service offerings include:
All medicines, medical equipment and supplies related to the terminal illness
Medication management to control pain and symptoms
Disease-specic programs, tailored to each patient’s clinical situation
Nursing and home health aide visits to provide direct care
Physical, occupational and speech therapy for patient safety and independence
Support through social work, counseling and chaplain services
Volunteer services to provide companionship
Bereavement services for a minimum of 13 months after a loss
At the end of the day, our goal is to provide exceptional care for our patients to help them live each day of their lives to the fullest.
