care services
palliative care
When patients are seriously ill or suffering from an injury and there’s a clinical plan in place, even if they are not at the end of life, palliative care provides a way of caring for them focusing on quality of life.
hospice care
Hospice care is a philosophy that treats the patient rather than the disease, with an emphasis on quality of life. During the last six months of life, the focus shifts from clinical care to the emotional and spiritual needs of the patient and their family.
Hospice care is
comfort care, without the curative intent by either the patient’s choice to not undergo treatment or due to the side effects outweighing the benefit.
included with hospice care are the following services:
spiritual care
Our Chaplain and Spiritual Advisor help patients explore, express and find deeper meaning to their religious and spiritual beliefs. They help them find peace of mind and regain a sense of spiritual well-being.
bereavement care
After a patient’s journey comes to an end, Turas Hospice remains in the family and friends’ lives to counsel them along their journey of loss and grief.
who pays for hospice care?
Turas Hospice will bill the patient’s Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance. In most instances, Hospice care services are covered under the patient’s insurance. Co-pays or deductibles will be discussed with the patient prior to admittance to hospice.
