Hospice Care

Hospice care at Abbeylands is a compassionate approach to caring for those who are faced with a life-limiting illness. Abbeylands Hospice Care provides our Residents and their families with supportive services that endeavor to offer the Resident the best quality of life available whilst respecting our Residents dignity. We provide emotional and medical support and expertise to both our Residents and their Families.

We offer a team approach to caring for our Residents and their Families in these difficult situations. Our Director of Nursing and team of Registered Nursing Staff are assigned to educate patient and family, offer family support services and coordinate all services reasonable and necessary to patient’s continuing care. Our professional medical team works closely with the patient’s physician to ensure that the Resident receives the best care possible.

An attending physician participates in the Plan of Care along with our Director of Nursing. Our specialist Care Assistants provide the personal care and assistance required to ensure all the activities of daily living, feeding and bathing or other special requirements of the Resident are met and exceeded.

A grief and bereavement counselor can be made available where required for assistance in dealing with what can be a traumatic situation for both Resident and Family members alike.
