Four Levels of Care
Routine Home Care
This is the most common hospice care that most hospice patients rely on. The services are available wherever the patient needs, whether at home, hospice facilities, nursing homes, etc.
Continuous Home Care
This is the next level of hospice care for comparatively more severe cases. For this level, hospice services are available 24/7 to continuously care for the patients and manage their symptoms and pain.
Respite Care
This level of hospice care is more for caregivers to take a break from the heavy responsibilities of caring for the patient. During this level, the patient is taken to a hospice facility or similar care center to give the caregivers some days of rest.
General Inpatient Care
This level is for the patients whose symptoms are no longer possible to manage at home. The main goal of this level is to stabilize symptoms and relieve pain so that patients can return to the first levels of hospice care.
