When facing a life-limiting illness, compassionate support can make an immeasurable difference. At Liberty Hospice, patients and families are surrounded by a dedicated circle of support. A full interdisciplinary care team works together to ensure comfort, dignity and peace during one of life’s most meaningful seasons.

What a Hospice Circle of Support Means

Hospice care brings together professionals and volunteers who address the physical, emotional, spiritual and practical needs of both the patient and their loved ones. This holistic approach ensures that families never walk this journey alone.

Meet Your Hospice Team

Hospice Physician

The hospice physician closely monitors the patient’s illness progression, prescribes appropriate medications and coordinates care with all team members. Hospice physicians invite a patient’s preferred physician to stay involved in the care plan if desired.

Hospice Nurse

Hospice nurses assess and manage a patient’s pain, symptoms and disease progression. They also train caregivers who provide hands-on patient care. As skilled listeners, hospice nurses comfort the family while educating on the best goal-oriented care.

Hospice Aide

Hospice aides are certified nursing assistants who provide personal care to the patient, such as bathing or dressing. They are available to ease the burden on family caregivers by participating in activities such as light housekeeping.

Hospice Social Worker

Hospice social workers provide emotional and psychosocial support to the patient and family by assisting with coordination of finances, funeral planning or other tasks. Social workers are always available to lend a friendly and listening ear.

Bereavement Coordinator

The bereavement coordinator addresses both anticipatory grief and loss after death. Families receive bereavement support up to 13 months after a death. Hospice is always available to those who’ve experienced the death of a loved one.

Hospice Volunteer

Hospice volunteers are trained to provide compassionate companionship and support to patients and families. Volunteers are an important part of hospice. Their duties range from visiting patients to providing other levels of support as needed.

Hospice Chaplain or Spiritual Coordinator

Regardless of a person’s beliefs or religious traditions, hospice chaplains are available to address the spiritual issues that often arise during the disease progression. They are there for the patient and family, honoring and supporting their cultural traditions and values.

This circle of support is at the heart of Liberty Hospice. Whether managing symptoms, providing comfort or supporting caregivers, the team works together to ensure patients experience dignity and peace while families feel guided and cared for.
