Understanding Hospice Care
By New Century Hospice
Our care team is here to answer any questions you may have – 24 / 7 / 365 .
Hospice care helps patients and their families make the most of the time that remains . With pain and symptom management , as well as education and support , patients and families are able to focus on what is truly important when life matters most . Hospice is not a place , but a philosophy of care . It is a unique health care approach in which the patient and family are the focus , not the disease .
Hospice is a team of specially trained health care professionals caring for the patient and relieving anxiety for the caregiver / family . Our hospice support teams help patients and families with pain and symptom management , social , emotional , and grief issues . Hospice brings comfort and quality to the remaining months , weeks , and days . We create an individualized care plan based on the specific needs , wishes , and values of the patient and family .
