Nursing Home Care

In a nursing home, even a comfort care program in a nursing home, patients suffering from a severe illness will not receive specialized care that enhances the quality of life. Only hospice provides that. United Hospice’s Nursing Home Care Program enables nursing home residents who are seriously ill to remain in a familiar environment while receiving hospice care. We coordinate with local nursing homes to honor life, give care and help residents live in comfort when time matters most.

Enhancing the Quality of Life

Individuals facing the diagnosis of a time-limiting illness deal with more than the physical symptoms; they often feel a considerable amount of fear and emotional pain. Facing the unknown takes a toll on patients and their families. The United Hospice staff and volunteers are here to provide emotional support, spiritual counseling, and complementary therapies such as massage, music, and pet therapy, each designed to enhance the quality of life.

For Our Veterans

United Hospice honors our nation’s veterans who have sacrificed so much in service to our country. We are proud to have been recognized as a We Honor Veterans Level Four Hospice Partner. This designation allows us to enhance the services we provide to each veteran receiving hospice care. When a veteran begins receiving service from United Hospice, we work with the patient’s family to plan a special pinning ceremony in honor of his or her service to our country.

Conquering Health Disparities

United Hospice wants to be a part of the solution to the health disparity seen throughout the healthcare industry. Latinos make up nearly 20% of the population in the state of New York, yet only receive 2% of the hospice care provided. We want to see a dramatic change in those statistics! United Hospice provides highly specialized, patient centered care to all patients regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation, location, or socioeconomic status.

Bereavement and Grief

Grieving is normal. It is an honest and natural response to any loss. When your loved one has passed on, it is crucial that find support that can give you the strength to live a healthy and full life while you take the time you need to work through your grief. United Hospice offers bereavement and grief support to our community through individual sessions, support groups, youth programs and crisis intervention.

Education

United Hospice believes in empowering those who are suffering from life-limited illnesses through education. We feel it is essential to provide as much information as possible to those exploring hospice. If you want more information about how to make your health care wishes known, how to cope with the diagnosis of a severe illness or how to prepare for the loss of a loved one, please head to the education section of our website.
