Hospice

Our hospice services provide compassionate, patient-centered care for individuals facing life-limiting illnesses. Focused on comfort, dignity and quality of life, our interdisciplinary team supports patients and their families with expert medical care, emotional and spiritual support, and personalized guidance. Whether care is provided at home or in a facility, Confluence Health is committed to helping patients live their final days with peace and respect.

Choosing hospice does not mean giving up care. It means choosing a different kind of care—one centered on comfort, dignity, support and what matters most to the patient and family.

A Team Approach

Hospice care brings together a dedicated team of professionals and supporters to care for both patients and their families—physically, emotionally and spiritually.

  • Hospice nurses provide skilled, compassionate care focused on comfort and quality of life. They help manage pain and other symptoms, teach families what to expect, coordinate care with the hospice team and provider, and support patients and loved ones with guidance, reassurance and respect every step of the way.
  • Hospice physicians provide medical guidance and oversight to help manage pain, symptoms and changes in condition. They work with the hospice team to support comfort-focused care, review medications and treatments, and help patients and families make informed decisions that honor the patient’s goals and wishes.
  • Hospice aides work with caregivers to help with personal care needs such as bathing, grooming, dressing, changing linens and other comfort-focused support.
  • Hospice social workers walk alongside patients and families during a difficult time. They provide emotional support, help with planning and resources, and make sure patients and loved ones feel heard, supported and prepared for the journey ahead.
  • Hospice chaplains offer compassionate spiritual and emotional support for patients and loved ones. They can provide prayer, reflection, listening, life review, support with meaning and peace, and connection with faith communities when desired. Chaplain support is always guided by the patient’s wishes and personal beliefs.
  • Hospice therapists work with patients, families and the hospice team when needed to support comfort, dignity and quality of life at home.
  • Hospice respite care gives family caregivers a short break while their loved one continues to receive safe, compassionate care.
  • General inpatient hospice care provides short-term, higher-level care in a hospital or inpatient setting when pain or symptoms cannot be managed comfortably at home. The goal is to stabilize symptoms and help the patient return home or to their usual care setting when possible.
  • Medications, medical equipment and supplies related to comfort and symptom control.

Volunteer Support
