Pioneer Memorial Hospice

The word “hospice” originated from the medieval term for a place of shelter for travelers on a difficult journey. Today the term is used to describe a concept of care that provides physical, social, emotional, psychological and spiritual support for the terminally ill, their families and caregivers.
Pioneer Memorial Hospice staff brings crucial elements of medical and nursing care to the patient’s place of residence, and offers practical and emotional support for them and their families. Our program helps many patients to be alert, comfortable, and free of pain as they live their final days in a familiar place surrounded by people they know and love. These services are provided by a team of trained professionals including physicians, nurses, counselors, therapists, volunteers, and aides who make up the hospice interdisciplinary team.

Hospice should be considered when the patient and their physician determine that curative treatments are no longer effective or desired, and life expectancy can be measured in weeks or months rather than years. Referral can be made by physicians or social service agencies, as well as by direct requests from the patient, family, or primary caregiver.

Reimbursement for hospice services is available through Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance companies. Care is never withheld because of inability to pay. Financial Assistance is available from contributions, fundraisers, and donations made to the hospice program.
