Los cuidados adoptan diversas formas, pero todo lo que hacemos est\u00e1 unido por tres principios que se solapan: cuidar, consolar y honrar la vida.<\/p>\n<p>Dar cuidados es lo m\u00e1s sencillo. Cada paciente que cruza nuestras puertas recibe una evaluaci\u00f3n personal y un plan individualizado adaptado espec\u00edficamente a sus necesidades. Esto incluye atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica tradicional, medicaci\u00f3n con receta, equipos m\u00e9dicos duraderos, asesoramiento, servicios de auxiliares, fisioterapia, asesoramiento nutricional y enfermeras de guardia 24 horas al d\u00eda, 7 d\u00edas a la semana.<\/p>\n<p>Quienes ingresan en un centro de cuidados paliativos lo hacen porque padecen una enfermedad que limita su vida. Por eso, toda la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica que prestamos se centra en nuestro segundo principio: proporcionar consuelo a nuestros pacientes y a sus familias. Los pacientes pueden recibir atenci\u00f3n en la comodidad de su hogar o en un centro especializado, totalmente equipado para satisfacer sus necesidades. Para complementar los servicios m\u00e9dicos tradicionales, tambi\u00e9n ofrecemos masajes, terapias con mascotas y aromaterapia, asesoramiento espiritual y familiar, y conexiones con voluntarios que proporcionan compa\u00f1\u00eda, hacen recados y tareas en nombre de los cuidadores, lo que permite a los pacientes pasar m\u00e1s tiempo c\u00f3modamente con las personas que m\u00e1s les importan.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/midhudsonnews.com\/2025\/08\/19\/letter-to-the-editor-hospice-needs-the-states-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lea el art\u00edculo completo en Mid Hudson News<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Editor: Hospice care can greatly enhance life for patients and families during an incredibly difficult time, but it is, unfortunately, underfunded and underutilized in New York State.
