Hospice Care Coordination

-
- Nursing communication
- Medication and symptom-support coordination
- Personal-care needs
- Resident comfort
- Equipment and supply arrangements
- Family communication
- Changes in condition
- Care-plan meetings
- Emotional and spiritual support referrals
Palliative Care Coordination
Palliative care focuses on relief from symptoms, stress, and discomfort associated with serious illness. Depending on the individual care arrangement, palliative services may be provided alongside other treatments.
