At Omega Health Care, our hospice care provides a team of health care professionals to serve people with life-limiting illnesses and their families.

Most patients are cared for in their own homes. The hospice team supports the patient's primary caregiver, a family member or friend, offering a compassionate presence during this meaningful time.

Each patient has an Omega’s interdisciplinary hospice care team.  They provide patient comfort care, medication and pain management, medical equipment, nutritional and incontinences supplies, transportation and homemaker services, as well as emotional relief for the family.  To ensure this happens, Omega's patient to employee ratio and availability of supplies are superior to the hospice industry average. Team member’s work together to meet the medical, emotional and spiritual needs of patients and families. The Hospice Interdisciplinary team is made up of:

Physicians oversee the team, the plan of care, and even in some cases make house calls making sure the patient’s and the family’s needs are met.

Nurses visit the patient as often as needed and make arrangements for medications and medical equipment.

Social Workers address legal, financial and emotional issues.

Chaplains, if requested, talk about spiritual concerns.

Home Health Aides help the patient with bathing, personal care, grooming and comfort.

Volunteers keep the patient company while family caregivers take a break or run errands, acting much like a friendly neighbor.

Bereavement or Grief Counselors assist the family after the death with one-on-one counseling or support groups, if desired.

Durable Medical Equipment (DME) such as hospital beds, walkers, canes, oxygen, wheel chairs and lifts are provided in the home for the needs of the primary diagnosis.

Pharmaceuticals/Medications are managed for the patient, delivered to the patient location, and are provided for the patient at no charge (for the primary diagnosis), Omega Health Care carefully reviews each prescription to ensure that there are no conflicts, that they achieve their intended results and to help properly administer them.

The cost of hospice care is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most insurance plans.
