Care at a Facility
Some patients are already in assisted living or skilled-nursing
facilities when the need for hospice care becomes a reality. In
these cases, a patient's comfort is often tied to preserving the
familiarity of his or her surroundings. Rather than moving them,
the hospice team can provide the specialized care that allows
patients to stay where they are most at ease.
The Keystone Hospice staff team works seamlessly with the staff
and services of many area assisted living and skilled nursing
facilities and tend specifically to the residents end-of-life care
needs, which permits patients to remain in the familiar
surroundings of their existing "home away from home" and can spare
families the stress and anxiety of relocating a fragile loved
one.
