Hopsice Services of Massachusetts

Hospice Services is patient centered and patient directed

It is one of the best examples in health care of collaboration by an interdisciplinary team dedicated to meeting the needs of the patient and family. In consultation with the patient, his or her loved ones, primary caregiver, and the patient’s own physician, the Hospice Services of Massachusetts and Hospice of Western & Central Massachusetts team prepares an individual plan of care based on patient and family needs and goals. Direct care is provided by the primary caregiver, if available, and augmented by the Hospice Services team. Care is provided wherever the patient calls home. Hospice Services also provides medications related to comfort and the terminal diagnosis, supplies, and durable medical equipment that is needed. Hospice Services of Massachusetts and Hospice of Western & Central Massachusetts is designed to support the care that the patient’s primary caregiver provides.
