Services we provide

Pain Management

Pain management is one of the primary goals of hospice service. At A-Z Hospice our goal is keeping the patient comfortable and managing symptoms to ensure the quality and expectancy of end of life care have been met. In addition to pain medication, the use of traditional psychological interventions such as biofeedback, hypnosis, relaxation, and imagery techniques are used to provide skills that increase the client’s awareness and control of pain. The hospice care team will evaluate a patient’s pain on every visit using pain rating scales and the expertise of the clinician.

Continuous Home Care

Continuous Home Care is typically used during times of crisis. If your loved one is suffering to manage their medical symptoms and needs palliation, this care provides continuous nursing to help relieve that pain. Continuous Home Care is provided at the patient’s home or assisted living facility so they can remain comfortable during these hard times Continuous Care for terminally ill patients is one of four types of hospice care covered by the Medicare Hospice Benefit. This round-the-clock level of care is provided in the home for brief periods of time when the patient is experiencing a crisis. It is designed to honor a patient’s wish to remain at home by providing the care needed to control the patient’s symptoms and alleviate the crisis.
