We know that providing individual care requires meeting individual needs-health, family, cultural, religious, and dietary. Our unique approach to addressing these needs with specialized services and home health care education has helped to make us a leader in the field of geriatric care. Freedom Eldercare consistently trains and employs specialists in a number of disciplines including:

Hospice Care

Hospice represents a compassionate approach to end-of-life care. Although death is a natural part of life, the thought of dying still terrifies many people. You may imagine pain and loneliness, spending your final days in a cold, sterile environment far from family, friends and all you know and love. However, hospice care can transform your passage into a peaceful, healing transition.

It is an option for people whose life expectancy is six months or less, and involves palliative care (pain and symptom relief) rather than ongoing curative measures, enabling you to live your end days to the fullest, with purpose, dignity, grace and support.

Hospice care focuses on all aspects of your life and well-being: physical, social, emotional, and spiritual. What's more, there is no age restriction; anyone in the last stages of life is eligible for hospice services.

While some hospitals, nursing homes and other health care facilities provide hospice care onsite, hospice most often takes place in the comfort of your own home, allowing you to remain in familiar surroundings as you prepare for a meaningful life conclusion.

Our Geriatric Care Managers will work with the designated hospice team and ensure your loved one is well cared for by facilitating nursing care, social services, physicians services, spiritual support and counseling, and caregiver oversight training. Our care managers will also the work with the families by ensuring their needs are being met, respite care and bereavement support is provided.

Our Caregivers are trained and experienced to identify and report symptoms to our care managers as they occur. Our Certified Nursing Assistants and Home Health Aides provide personal care such as bathing, shaving, fluid management and emotional support. Homemakers may be available for light housekeeping and meal preparation.
