Palliative Care
Palliative Care
Harmony Hospice has the finest health care providers with years of experience caring for patients with a terminal illness. To complement our hospice service, Harmony now has an innovative community based palliative care division. Harmony Hospice’s dedicated palliative interdisciplinary team cares for patients with a chronic or serious illness, but who aren’t yet ready for hospice care.
Our care includes:
· Keep patients safe and comfortable in their own homes
· Decrease unnecessary hospital and emergency room visits
· Provide services to patients who are still seeking curative treatment for a terminal/chronic illness
· Fill the gap for patients who do not yet meet hospice criteria but are still in need of additional support services
· Symptom Management for a serious illness
· Medication reconciliation
· Care coordination with the member’s primary care provider
· 24/7 access to services
· Community resource access and referral
· Current disease specific education
· Advance directive discussion and advice
