Hospice
Hospice and palliative care bring compassion and support to not only the patient, but also, to family members. It
incorporates a multi-disciplinary team approach to medical care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual
support. The resident’s needs, desires, comfort, dignity and quality of life are the focus. Hospice care is
available at all of the United Methodist Homes' skilled nursing and assisted living residences through a partnership
with hospice organizations. Hospice services are usually covered under Medicare, Medicaid, most private insurance
plans, HMOs, and other managed care organizations.
