Choosing a smaller, locally owned hospice agency can offer unique benefits that enhance the care experience for terminally ill patients and their families. Here are three key reasons to consider:
Personalized Care: Smaller agencies often provide a more individualized approach, allowing for tailored care plans that reflect the specific needs and preferences of each patient and their family. This personalized attention fosters stronger relationships and ensures that care feels more compassionate and aligned with family values. We treat each and every patient and their family as we would a family member. Not only will we treat you like family but you’ll really feel like you’re a part of our family too. By choosing a small hospice, you’ll have the opportunity to get to know and be directly involved with each member of your loved ones’ hospice care team. We ensure that patients and families come first and provide care beyond industry standards and patient expectations.
Collaborative Support: With a smaller team, communication tends to be more direct and efficient. Families can expect more frequent interactions with caregivers who are familiar with their unique circumstances, leading to a collaborative environment where everyone feels involved in the care process. You’ll find comfort in knowing your loved ones’ hospice care team is always close by, allowing for faster response times. We have a care team available to provide care 24 hours a day, seven days a week who answer phone calls day and night and can respond within minutes, if needed.
Innovative Practices: Smaller agencies are often more agile and open to adopting innovative practices. This flexibility enables them to implement new ideas and approaches quickly, ensuring that patients receive the most effective and cutting-edge care in a supportive environment.
