ES ROUTINE CARE
Routine hospice home care is the most common level of hospice care, typically provided at home or in a long-term care facility. This type of care provides regularly scheduled visits from hospice team members that address the physical, emotional, and spiritual comfort for both the patient and the patient’s caregivers.
The Doctor’s Choice Hospice Care team will work with the patient, patient’s family, caregivers, and any medical teams to create a care plan that addresses the routine needs and priorities of the patient. Routine hospice care is not 24/7 care plan. This level of care is designed to give primary caregivers, typically a family member, brief periods to recharge and rest while their loved one is in the care of the Doctor’s Choice Hospice Care team member.
