Our “Hometown” Approach

We are not owned or managed by a large city corporation. From owners and upper management to personal care staff, we employ local people. We care about the hometowns we serve and the down-to-earth care you expect and deserve.

Decades of Experience with Hospice Care

We maintain a very strict pre-screening process for all employees and volunteers. We only utilize the best of the best in care providers.

Continuity of Care

As part of the Shrivers family, we have immediate access to the largest possible variety of medications, medical supplies, medical equipment, a compounding lab, pharmacists, and much more. These companies are part of our family. They have staff specifically dedicated to taking care of Shrivers Hospice patients and YOUR needs. YOU and your family are our priority.

Care Without Limit

We provide much more than nursing care. Our care planning process involves the patient, family, and the patient’s community physicians, as well as our team of hospice professionals. We work together to create the best combination of care, UNIQUE to the journey of each patient we serve.

Thank you for taking the time to catch a glimpse of what Shrivers Hospice has to offer. We are constantly working to set a different expectation for hospice care in the communities we serve. As a part of the Shrivers family that our communities have already come to grow and love, we want to be here for you every step of the way… “Because We Care.”

ROUTINE CARE

Routine Care is the most common level of hospice care. Routine home care includes, but is not limited to, nursing and home health aide services. Patients may receive Routine Hospice Care in their home or what they “call home”—in a long-term care or assisted living facility.

GENERAL INPATIENT CARE

General Inpatient Care is care for pain control and symptom management that cannot effectively be provided in other settings. It is usually of a short-term nature and can be provided in a hospital, hospice unit, or long-term care facility.

RESPITE CARE

Respite Care is the level of care most commonly used when the patient’s caregiver(s) would benefit from some relief from the day-to-day care they provide at home. Respite care is most often provided in an inpatient setting. Inpatient respite care requires that a nurse be available 24 hours per day and is limited to 5 consecutive days.

CONTINUOUS CARE

Continuous Care is provided during a crisis period, as necessary, to maintain the patient at home when the patient’s care needs are equal to or more than 8 hours per day and more than 50% of the time requires skilled nursing care. Nurses and hospice aides monitor acute symptoms that require more intensive and continuous nursing care than is generally provided under routine home care. Other members of the Shrivers Hospice team may also provide care during this time. It is expected that continuous care be short-term.
