Hospice focuses on caring, not curing and in most cases care is provided in the patient's home. Hospice care also is provided in freestanding hospice centers, hospitals, nursing homes, and other long-term care facilities.

The hospice team develops a care plan that meets each patient's individual needs for pain management and symptom control.

Among its major responsibilities, the interdisciplinary hospice team:

  • Manages the patient’s pain and symptoms; 
  • Assists the patient with the emotional psychosocial and spiritual aspects of dying; 
  • Provides needed drugs, medical supplies, and equipment; 
  • Coaches the family on how to care for the patient; 
  • Delivers special services like speech and physical therapy when needed; 
  • Makes short-term inpatient care available when pain or symptoms become too difficult to manage at home, or the caregiver needs respite time; and 
  • Provides bereavement care and counseling to surviving family and friends.

Are you the caretaker of a family member, parent, friend or neighbor? Are you feeling overwhelmed or stretched thin?

Welcome to the club.

More than 53 million Americans provide care for adults and children who cannot care for themselves. Whether helping an aging parent, a terminally ill spouse or child or any special person in need, those giving care often do so at a great personal sacrifice of time, energy and income.

ABODE cares about caregivers because we, ourselves, are caregivers. We understand the many challenges associated with caring for those we love most. That’s why we’re offering the evidence-based Powerful Tools for Caregivers classes to help caregivers take better care of yourselves while caring for a friend or relative.

Join us and learn the tools and strategies that will help you better handle the unique caregiver challenges you face. This interactive workshop is designed to empower you to take care of yourself while caring for a relative or friend - especially if you’re caring for someone at home, in a nursing home or across the country.

Everyone will receive the newest edition of The Caregiver HelpBook, 292 pages filled with insights and resources on all sorts of topics we caregivers encounter every day.

Research shows that these classes improve self-care behavior, emotion management and self-confidence of caregivers and will connect you to more community resources.

Next session meets once a week for via Zoom for six weeks, 3:00 pm -4:30 pm, starting Wednesday, March 20.

Hospice Care

The patient’s wishes are a primary concern during hospice care. For some, the ability to manage symptoms at home and reduce hospital visits may be a priority. Others may prioritize reducing the burden on family caregivers or remaining in a family home. The goal of Three Oaks Hospice is to always accommodate the wishes of the patient and family.

Hospice Care at Home

In-home hospice care focuses on caring for patients’ needs in their chosen environment. Often, this is the patient’s home, but it doesn’t have to be. For example, a hospice team can provide care to a patient in the homes of family members, an assisted living facility, or a nursing home.

Individuals with renal disease, neurological diseases, dementia, pulmonary disease, heart disease, AIDS, or cancer may qualify for hospice.

Three Oaks Hospice provides tailored care for individuals with these and other conditions.

Our Services 4 Levels of Care

Routine Hospice Care
Is the most common level of hospice care. With this type of care, an individual has elected to receive hospice care at their residence, which can include a private residence, assisted living facility, or nursing facility.

General Inpatient Care
Is provided for pain control or other acute symptom management that cannot feasibly be provided in any other setting. General Inpatient Care begins when other efforts to manage symptoms have been ineffective. General Inpatient Care can be provided in a Medicare-certified hospital, hospice inpatient facility, or nursing facility that has a registered nurse available 24 hours a day to provide direct patient care.

Continuous Home Care
Is care provided between 8 and 24 hours a day to manage pain and other acute medical symptoms. Continuous home care services must be predominately nursing care, supplemented with -caregiver and hospice aide services, and are intended to maintain the terminally ill patient at home during a pain or symptom crisis.

Inpatient Respite Care
Is available to provide temporary relief to the patient's primary caregiver. Respite care can be provided in a hospital, hospice facility, or a long-term care facility that has sufficient 24-hour nursing personnel present on all shifts to guarantee that patient's needs are met. Respite care is provided for a maximum of 5 consecutive days.

Hospice is an appropriate course of care for terminally ill patients in the last six months of their lives, at a time when curative treatments are no longer an option.

Hospice caregivers help patients manage their illness and remain as comfortable as possible in their environment. The goal of hospice is symptom management rather than treatment or recovery. Hospice care complements the guidance of a patient’s physician.

Hospice helps ease the burden of families caring for patients during this time.

When is someone ready for Hospice care?

  • At the recommendation of their physician
  • When diagnosed with a life-limiting illness and when symptoms are no longer responding to a curative treatment
  • If you feel that your loved one may qualify for hospice services, please call one of our offices to discuss hospice eligibility and specific health conditions.

Care Locations

Our goal is to provide hospice services in the environment that best meets the needs of the individual patient, caregiver, and other family members. To that end, we provide care in whatever setting our patient calls home:

  • Personal Home – When possible and desired, we help our patients remain at home during their terminal illness. Whether care is provided in the patient’s home or a caregiver’s home, our team of professionals and volunteers makes sure that the appropriate equipment and supplies are placed in the residence so that it is as comfortable and well-equipped as possible.                  
  • Nursing, Assisted, and Independent Living Facilities – When caring for a patient who resides in a nursing home, an assisted living, or an independent living facility, our hospice team complements the services and skills of the facility staff and works with that staff to care for the patient. In addition, we offer our full spectrum of support services to the patient’s family.

The hospice care team that we bring to our  clients and their families includes:

  • Nurses
  • Nurse Practitioners
  • Social Workers
  • Therapists
  • Patient’s physician
  • Hospice medical director

We also have a Gathering of those Grieving on the 3rd Thursday of every month. We offer a forum to voice your feelings, topics to cope, and speak with a counselor if you wish. At the request of the family, a priest will visit the sick person and give the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick.

How we Support

The Green Beret Foundation is dedicated to caring for our Gold Star and Surviving Families as they are revered members of our community. The final sacrifice of their Green Berets causes us to pause, reflect, and give thanks for the freedoms we hold so dear.

Our mission is to help the family navigate their difficult journey, give them the tools they need, and empower them to take control of their future. In the immediate wake of the Green Beret’s death, we offer financial assistance to help ease the burden of the expenses the family may incur during this time.

Long term, we strive to maintain relationships with the family and communicate with the Special Forces Groups to identify any gaps we may be able to fill. We will always honor our fallen and support their families.
