What is At-Home Hospice Care?

At-home hospice care is specialized end-of-life support that brings medical, emotional, and spiritual comfort directly to where you or your loved one lives — the place you call home — including an assisted living or nursing home community.

The experience of receiving hospice care at home is not familiar to many people. But, once someone accesses this service, they usually wish they called sooner.

How At-Home Hospice Care Works

A South Jersey at-home hospice nurse visits your home to assess you or your loved one physically, develop a care plan, refill medications, tend to wounds, answer questions, and coordinate with your physician. 

The home health aide bathes you or your loved one in the privacy of their bedroom or in a hospital bed set up in your secluded living room. The social worker or spiritual support counselor chats with you and your family around the kitchen table or in the family room.

This intimate care, the emotional conversations, and the supportive medical attention occur in the comfort of your own home. You’re surrounded by your familiar belongings. You won’t have to make emergency trips to the Emergency Department. You don’t need to navigate hospital parking, elevators, and hallways. Your family doesn’t have to share a room with another patient and their family. You don’t have to try to ignore the hustle and bustle of a hospital wing to share a quiet moment.

Spend quality time together. Creating additional memories and sharing important words is critical during this time.
