Lakeland Hospice is committed to being a leader in providing high-quality hospice care that embraces a comprehensive continuum of services and enables people to live with dignity and hope while coping with loss and end of life.
What is Hospice?
Lakeland Hospice is available to provide a health care program to meet the physical, emotional, spiritual and social needs of persons with life-limiting conditions as well as their families. Hospice is designed to complement existing health care services available to the general public. Your interdisciplinary team will be composed of doctors, nurses, volunteers, clergy, home health aides and a social worker to provide care, assistance, guidance and support to patients and their families during and following the last phase of terminal illness.
The Lakeland Team of Skilled Hospice Experts
Nursing Services
A registered nurse is assigned to each patient and family. Our nurse’s visits and contacts are based on patient-family need. Therefore, the visits can increase as needs become more acute. The nurse assesses healthcare needs and how to meet them, and teaches the family how to provide care. Particular attention is given to comfort and independence, as well as to pain and symptom control. We also have a nurse on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to answer questions, address concerns and ensure that emergencies are taken care of appropriately.
Home Health Aide Services
Our highly trained home health aides are skilled in providing rest and comfort measures. They provide personal care based on patient-family needs.
Social Work Services
Social work services are designed to help the patient and family based on their needs. We can also assist, if necessary, in locating resources to help with finances, legal matters, patient care and other arrangements.
Volunteer Services
Volunteers provide companionship to the patient, emotional support to family members, or a few hours of caregiver relief. Volunteers also participate in other programs such as bereavement, clerical and other office functions, as well as community services.
Spiritual Care Services
Our Spiritual Care Team is made up of community clergy and lay-persons. Spiritual care is offered to provide guidance and support to the patient-family unit.
Therapy Services
Therapy Services are available as needed. Therapists can help alter the home to make it friendlier in meeting the changing needs of the patient and caregivers. Increased levels of comfort are achieved and independence can be maintained, thereby increasing the quality of life for the patient.
Bereavement Services
We provide support for grieving family members and friends through a 13-month program. Services may include brief one-on-one consultation, support groups, workshops, and supportive literature.
