Dispel The Myths
Reaching out to Hospice means I have given up.
When a patient chooses Hospice, the patient has decided to live. Hospice is about living, not dying. The patient will receive more support, socialization, and individualized care than in any other care approach. According to the National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization, Hospice patients live a more fulfilled, often longer, life than patients with similar illnesses who do not have Hospice.
Hospice care is expensive.
Hospice is a unique type of care covered in full by Medicare, Medicaid and most insurances. We provide services based on patient and family need. Our goal is to keep the patient as independent and comfortable as possible, at home or a facility. Often, Hospice cuts costs for the patient/family by providing medications, equipment, and other needs paid for out of pocket without Hospice.
Hospice means I have to leave my home.
We provide care in homes and facilities. The patient/family decide on the most comfortable and safe environment – we come to you.
Families cannot provide care for a loved one with a life-threatening illness.
Many feel fulfilled by being involved in a loved one’s care. With Hospice, the family is not alone – they can be involved as much or as little as they choose. Our team supports the patient and also their loved ones.
Hospice care is only available the last few days or weeks of life.
Choosing Hospice earlier allows our team to provide more. Many patients wish they had reached out sooner. Having our team involved allows for a better quality of life.
Feel The Love
“When the Hospice nurse came through my door she gave me HOPE for the first time in months. Since that time, it has been uphill. Shrivers Hospice has gone above and beyond to care for me and gives me something to look foward to each day. I enjoy so much more of my life now, with the Shrivers Hospice Team sharing it with me.”
Colleen
Shrivers Hospice patient
“As I sit here, with tears in my eyes, I am beyond grateful for the love and support we received from Shrivers Hospice. I have worked in Long Term Care (LTC) facilities for the past 12 years and have worked with multiple hospice groups. Shrivers Hospice is by far the best experience I have encountered. My family and I will be eternally grateful.”
Marie
Shrivers Hospice patient family member
“Having others walk with us on this journey is more than helpful. It is life-changing. It is that ray of hope in the midst of complete darkness. This is how I would describe the Shrivers Hospice program.”
