When curative treatment is no longer effective, VITAS brings end-of-life care and support to residents in your facility.
If a resident’s life expectancy is six months or less and curative treatments are no longer effective or desired, it may be time to consider hospice.
VITAS Healthcare provides expert guidance to help long-term care facility staff evaluate hospice eligibility and facilitate the often-challenging goals- of- care conversations with residents and their families. By transitioning to hospice care, residents can receive compassionate, comprehensive end-of-life care that meets their unique medical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
