Families seeking hospice care for a loved one often ask, is hospice only for cancer patients? The simple answer is no, hospice is not only for cancer patients. Rather, hospice is for anyone with an illness that is expected to live for six months or less. At Blue Water Homecare and Hospice, we provide end-of-life care for those living with dementia, Alzheimer’s, kidney disease, COPD, ALS, liver disease or any other serious condition.
Our hospice team is available 24/7 to meet with families and design a care plan specific to a patient’s condition and individual wishes. Our number one goal is to meet patients’ physical, emotional, and spiritual needs and ensure peace and comfort to the best extent possible. Blue Water Hospice adopts a team-oriented approach as we coordinate directives amongst doctors/nurses, spiritual providers, family members, and the patient at the center of care.
We understand that families may need additional support in the home during end-of-life care. In addition to comfort care services, we partner with Blue Water Homecare to provide non-medical home care.
