“They treated my family member with a lot of love.”
Aria Hospice provides care and services to patients based on their individual need. Routine Hospice Care is the most common level of hospice care provided to patients with limited life expectancy. This is a basic hospice service provided in the patient’s own home. A patient’s home can also be a skilled nursing facility, an assisted living facility, an independent living facility or any other residential care facility for the elderly.
During periods of crisis or special circumstances, other levels of care will be initiated on a short-term basis by the Aria Hospice Team in conjunction with the patient and family.
Certain hospice care must be provided by “core” services. They are required to be provided directly as employees of the hospice program and cannot be contracted. One exception is that of Physician Services which was amended in 1997 to include contracted physicians.
