Nursing Care
A hospice nurse is the case manager for the whole team. She assesses, adjusts, explains, and stays reachable — including at two in the morning.
What this looks like.
- Regular visits to assess pain, breathing, appetite, sleep and comfort
- Medication managed and adjusted as symptoms change, with your physician
- Wound care, catheter care, and the hands-on nursing the illness calls for
- Teaching the family what to watch for, and what to do when it happens
- Writing and revising the plan of care as the picture changes
- Carrying what the family says back to the rest of the team
- A nurse on call every night, every weekend, every holiday
The number you call at 2am is answered by a nurse.
Not an answering service, not a queue. A hospice nurse who can talk you through what is happening and come out if you need her.
The rest of the team.
