Hospice today is
designed to provide a caring environment for physical, spiritual and
emotional needs of the terminally ill, their family and friends in
their home or nursing facility.
Unlike hospitals, the medical
orientation of Crossroad’s Hospice personnel is toward symptom
management and pain control.
Hope of remission or cure is
never abandoned, but our focus is on creating an environment for the
|
|
patient and family that allows everyone to derive the greatest
fulfillment from the remaining days the have to share with one
another.
In accordance with the Hospice
Philosophy, we recognize the rights of the terminally ill,
specifically:
- The right to compassionate
and confidential care.
- The right to enjoy the
greatest possible quality of life.
- The right to die with
dignity, as he or she perceives dignity.
- The right to participate in
the management of the remaining life span.
- The right to die in
familiar surroundings without pain and with loved ones present.
