Alameda Care Hospice helps patients with serious illness live life to the fullest by offering personalized, compassionate care – whether in patients’ homes, assisted living, board and care, or skilled nursing facilities. We create a personalized care plan especially for each patient, with sensitivities to cultural, spiritual, and personal preferences. Working as a team, our specially trained nurses, doctors, social workers, spiritual counselors, and volunteers help patients and families throughout the stages of a life-limiting illness, working to address physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Our hospice professionals work closely with patients’ physicians and family members to develop a comprehensive, personalized plan of care that meets each patient’s individual needs.

Our interdisciplinary hospice teams may include:

• The patient’s personal physician
• Hospice physician/nurse practitioner
• Hospice nurses
• Social workers
• Home health aides
• Spiritual counselor
• Bereavement counselor
• Trained volunteers
• Dietician, as needed

Hospice team members make regular visits to assess the patient’s needs and provide additional care or other services. Alameda Care Hospice staff is available to answer calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The hospice team manages the patient’s pain and symptoms, assists the patient and family with the emotional and spiritual aspects of dying, and provides needed medicines, medical supplies, and equipment.

Alameda Care Hospice team may also:

• Coach the family on how to care for the patient
• Provide special services like speech or physical therapy
• Make short-term inpatient care available when pain or symptoms
  become too difficult to manage at home, or the caregiver needs respite
• Refer additional community resources such as in-home support /
  attendant care
• Provide bereavement care and counseling to family and friends
