Who Can Our Hospice Services Help?
Terminal illness hospice focuses more on the comfort and dignity of the patient rather than curative care. It’s offered when traditional medical care is no longer viable, and the patient decides to cease curative treatments. We help soothe your pain and aches and make you as comfortable as possible so you can spend your last days seeing loved ones and getting as much joy as possible.
The role of a hospice caregiver is to provide emotional, spiritual, and physical care for terminally ill patients, develop a pain management program, and provide company and support. We can provide our hospice services in your home, in a long-term care facility, or in the hospital.
We accept patients with all kinds of terminal illnesses. Some of the people that can benefit most from sympathetic, personalized hospice services include:
- Cancer
- Neurological diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Alzheimer’s disease
- Heart disease
- Kidney disease
- Liver disease
- Lung disease
- AIDS
The Quality Hospice Care You Deserve
Our holistic approach is intended to make your loved ones' last days comfortable, pain-free, and able to do as many activities as they would like. We also provide practical end-of-life guidance, such as helping you locate social services that can help ease your family's financial burdens or an estate planning service to help you settle your financial affairs.
We also work with medical social workers who can address other practical needs you may have, plus chaplain and grief counseling services. You may choose as much or as little help as you like and change your plan at any time.
Headwaters is unique among Montana hospice care providers in that we provide extensive care-in-place services, including companionship services if you are in a nursing home or hospital. Some common activities include playing games, reading to clients, or recording their life stories and other testimonies. You may also use our light home care and personal care services so you can rest more easily.
