At-home Hospice Care in Southern NJ

Receiving care at home allows families to do the following:

• Be in familiar surroundings. When you use South NJ in-home hospice, you can sit on your own couch and use your own bathroom. When living with serious illness, or caring for someone with serious illness, the comforts of home are priceless.
• Spend quality time together. Get the support you need and focus on creating lasting memories with your loved one. When you are at home there will be more opportunities for conversation, memory-making projects, and other bonding activities.
• Create a schedule and an individualized care plan that works best for your loved one. Without the back-and-forth travel to the hospital, you can create a schedule and a care plan that is easier to stick to.
• Decrease emergency room visits. Families are relieved to discover they could get help during any crisis by calling Samaritan at any time of day. Someone is available to talk 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If a problem can’t be resolved over the phone, a nurse will visit. This helps reduce the need to call 911.
• Home health aide care. In-home hospice care services include certified home health aide (CHHA) visits around the South Jersey area. The CHHA helps with physical care needs like bathing, which can be much more comfortable in the privacy of home.
• Medical equipment and supplies related to your hospice diagnosis delivered to your door. Whether it’s a hospital bed, oxygen, medical supplies, or illness-related medications, they’ll be delivered to your door step. You won’t need to run additional errands for these important items.
• Expert explanations. Your in-home hospice team are experts in end-of-life care. With each visit or phone call, you’ll get answers to all your questions. They will guide you through care giving, connect you with community resources, listen and support your emotional needs, explain the process of dying, and help with funeral planning.
• Volunteer visits. A trained patient volunteer is available for companionship, chatting, reading, watching TV, and story sharing.
• Grief support after the loss of your loved one. Samaritan’s care continues with grief support and counseling to help you deal with the loss of your loved one.
