We bring professional
medical care to you
When a terminal illness makes it less than desirable to continue aggressive treatments, make doctor office visits, and emergency room visits or rehospitalizations, it is time to reach out to Legacy Family Hospice.
Nurse
Each patient will have a RN Case Manager that is the team liaison for patient communications. The RN Case Manager will see their patients weekly to assess symptom management, pain control, and overall patient well-being. The Nurse will seek input from family and facility care teams. He/she will offer medical guidance under the direction of the patient’s physician.
Home Health Aides
Certified Home Health Aides will see patients up to five times per week. The Aide will oversee the patient’s personal care including showers, stocking of incontinence supplies as needed, skin care, and emotional support to the patient and family. The Aides will report any change of condition or necessary patient information to the RN Case Manager who will share it with the team.
Social Worker
Our Licensed Social Workers will see the patient to assist with emotional support as well as resources and tools like financial aid, health insurance issues, living wills, advance directives and more. They will assist with arranging respite care, or help transition the patient to another living environment.
