Azorna Hospice and Palliative Care
Azorna Hospice: It's your choice.
We dedicate the appropriate time and resources to making sure that you are receiving the highest quality of care possible.
What is Hospice care?
Hospice is care that focuses on the quality of life for people and their caregivers who are experiencing a life-limiting illness. Hospice helps patients live as fully and comfortably as possible. The hospice philosophy accepts death as the final stage of life: it affirms life, but does not try to hasten or postpone death.
Treatment For The Person, Not The Disease
Hospice care treats the person and symptoms of the disease, rather than treating the disease itself
The Hospice Team
A team of professionals work together to manage symptoms so that a person’s last days may be spent with dignity and quality, surrounded by their loved ones.
Starting Hospice Care
In general, hospice care should be used when a person is expected to live about 6 months or less if the illness runs its usual course. Studies show hospice care often is not started soon enough.
What does Hospice care provide?
All hospice providers must offer certain services. But they tend to have different approaches to service, staffing patterns, and types of support services offered.
Expert Symptom Management
Discomfort, pain, nausea, and other side effects are managed to make sure that the patient feels as good as possible, yet alert enough to make important decisions.
Home Visits, Medications, Equipment and Supplies
For patients receiving hospice care, a hospice nurse will make regular visits and is always available by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Other members of the hospice team may also visit depending on the patient's needs. Medications, equipment, and supplies related to the terminal illness are provided with no out-of-pocket cost.
The Hospice Benefit
The hospice benefit allows the patient and family to stay together in the comfort of home, unless care is needed in an inpatient facility. If inpatient hospice care is needed, Azorna Hospice can make the arrangements for your stay.
Benefits At A Glance
Hospice services can be provided wherever a patient calls home—a private home, nursing home, group home, or other facility. Azorna Hospice is contracted with numerous inpatient units throughout the Valley for higher levels of care, as needed.
