HOSPICE CARE
We believe that every day of life has meaning. That’s why your comfort, safety and quality of life guide every step of our care. A life-limiting illness should not define who you are. With the help of our attentive and professional hospice team, you will find peace and meaningful moments together.
The types of hospice care are:
- Routine home care
- Continuous Home care
- GIP care
- Respite care (relief) for family caregivers
Respite Care
Sometimes care for the caregiver is needed. Caring for a loved one with a terminal illness can be difficult on many levels – physically and emotionally. There may be times when a caregiver needs to step away for a short period of time to recharge. Chicago Hope And Palliative Healthcare offers short-term respite care in one of our three inpatient facilities when space is available.
Routine Home Care
Routine home care includes scheduled, routine visits in the home by a multidisciplinary care team, including hospice physician, registered nurse, hospice aide, social worker, chaplain, volunteer and bereavement specialist.
PALLIATIVE CARE
Palliative Care provides relief from the pain, symptoms and the stress of a serious illness.
Patients may continue curative treatments and move in and out of palliative services
as needed.
Support includes:
- Managing complex pain and other symptoms
- Reducing the side effects of medications or treatments
- Planning your healthcare goals and priorities
