Hospice Care at Home

Everyone who is terminally ill deserves to live out their remaining time in dignity, with the highest possible level of peace and comfort. That’s the main idea behind hospice care at home, and at Suncrest, we work hard to make life easier for patients in Westmont and elsewhere in Chicago.

We take a holistic, client-focused approach to hospice care, creating a customized plan designed to increase patient comfort at the end of life. Our hospice team includes physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, chaplains, bereavement counselors, home health aides and trained volunteers, all of whom are specialists in end-of-life care. Depending on your loved one’s needs, hospice care at home may involve:

•   Delivery of medical equipment and in-home care supplies
•   Medication for effective pain and symptom management
•   Complementary therapies like massage and art therapy
•   Skilled nursing services and coordination of care
•   Emotional support, spiritual guidance and grief counseling
•   Access to a 24-hour hotline staffed by registered nurses

With hospice services from Suncrest, terminally ill individuals can remain in the comfort of their own Westmont homes – or wherever they are currently living – and still receive the level of care they need. What’s more, the cost of hospice care at home is often completely covered by Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance.

Home Health Services

Caring for Ames residents who are nearing the end of life isn’t all we do here at Suncrest. Our professional team also cares for those who need a helping hand after a surgical procedure, hospital stay or health crisis.

In-home health services from an approved Medicare home care agency like Suncrest is acknowledged to be as effective as that provided in skilled nursing facilities and hospitals in the Ames area. And for those who are homebound, many services are covered. We can provide your loved one with:

• Part-time or intermittent skilled nursing services
• Home medical equipment and supplies
• Medication education and supervision
• Infusion therapy and ambulatory IV services
• Physical, occupational and speech-language therapies
• Personal care services from home health aides

As we do with patients in need of hospice care at home, the Suncrest team provides personalized care for those in recovery. With our support, your loved one can enjoy greater comfort and safety as they work through their health challenge.
