The services provided by Agape Hospice are interdisciplinary and are structured according to your needs, which may change over time. Options include the following:

Nursing Care. Registered nurses monitor your symptoms and medications and help educate you and your family on the latest developments pertaining to your health. The nurse also serves as the link between you, your family, and the physician.

Social Services. A social worker counsels and advises you and your family, and acts as your community advocate, making sure you have access to the resources you need.

Physician Services. Your doctor approves the plan of care and works with the hospice team. In a full hospice program, a hospice medical director is available to the attending physician, patient, and hospice care team as a consultant and resource.

Spiritual Support & Counseling. Clergy and other spiritual counselors are available to visit you and provide spiritual support at home. Spiritual care is a personal process and may include helping you explore what death means to you, resolving unfinished business, saying goodbye to loved ones, and performing a specific religious ceremony or ritual.

Home Health Aides & Homemaker Services. Home health aides provide personal care such as bathing, shaving, and nail care. Homemakers may be available for light housekeeping and meal preparation.

Trained Volunteer Support. Caring volunteers have long been the backbone of hospice. They are available to listen, offer you and your family compassionate support, and assist with everyday tasks.

Bereavement Services. Bereavement is the time of mourning we all experience following a loss. The hospice care team will work with surviving family members to help them through the grieving process. Agape Hospice will refer survivors to medical or other professional care providers, if necessary.

For more information regarding these and other services, please do not hesitate to contact the Agape Hospice office nearest you. We will be more than happy to provide assistance.
