At Pilgrimage Hospice, our care is provided by an interdisciplinary team of dedicated Hospice professionals. Using this interdisciplinary approach, we are able to provide a coordinated, collaborative, and comprehensive plan of care designed to optimally meet the needs of the patient and family.
This comprehensive plan of care always includes the services of Hospice RN Case Manager, with oversight from the Hospice Medical Director. The plan also includes all services necessary to maintain or improve the quality of life for the patient and family at the highest level. The frequency of visits provided is based on need. Our services available to our patients and families include:
|
We are available to meet the needs of the patient and family 24 hours per day, seven days a week.

Comfort. Providing the resources, care, medications and support to achieve optimal comfort defined by the patient and family.
Quality of Life. We remove barriers to care, anticipate needs, address potential issues proactively and ease the emotional burden for patients and families. Support and Guidance. Our goal is to guide you through this process every step of the way. We walk with you through difficult times such as pain, emotional distress, spiritual distress, caregiver stress, and environmental factors, just to name a few. |

Our hospice team addresses each concern individually, and comes together to develop a plan with a collaborative approach to address each of these issues. The interrelationship between these factors requires an approach that looks at the entire picture, not just a sum of its parts.
