Care Coordination

assistance with care coordination

When faced with serious illness or the death of a loved one, people feel overwhelmed and confused, and may be unclear about the availability of services in the community. Hospice staff works in partnership with other care providers in hospital and community to understand the changing needs of individuals, and helps with planning and facilitating necessary support and care.

Those who have the strength and the love
To sit with a dying patient
In the silence that goes beyond words
Will know that this moment
Is neither frightening nor painful.
But a peaceful cessation of the functioning of the body.
Watching a peaceful death of a human being
Reminds us of a falling star;
One of the million lights in a vast sky
That flares up for a brief moment
Only to disappear into the endless night forever. — Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
