Idaho Falls Hospice Care

The primary goal of hospice is providing quality of life for individuals and their loved ones experiencing advanced stages of a life-limiting illness such as cancer. The compassionate care provided by hospice helps people in the final phases of an incurable disease live as comfortably as possible. When curative procedures are no longer effective, hospice provides support and care while managing symptoms and pain for patients to live without fear.

Idaho Falls Hospice Care has a team of professional medical directors, nurses, medical social workers, and hospice aides that meet patient’s needs at an intimate level in providing such services. This team of experts, including physicians, focuses on providing patients with the best possible care and comfort. Our hospice services incorporate spiritual and emotional care and needs, catering to the patient’s well-being, including their loved ones. We facilitate this care through a team of bereavement professionals, chaplains, and volunteers.

Regardless of the setting, Idaho Falls Hospice Care is always ready to provide support wherever the patients are located. This includes hospitals, independent and assisted living facilities and nursing homes. We achieve this by collaborating with existing care providers making sure the patient and family receive the best and appropriate support.

Hospice is an advanced form of special care dedicated to people living with a terminal illness. However, hospice doesn’t in any way reduce or extend the life of a terminally ill person. Its primary focus is providing physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual care towards the end of life. Idaho Falls Hospice Care holds this principle of improving the quality of life with the utmost compassion.

Common hospice care services include: 

• Comfort
• Family Support
• Pain Management
• Individualized Plan
• 24/7 Access to Care
• Companionship
• Counseling

Our hospice care is individualized, meeting the needs of each patient in their final stages of life. This way, our mission is achieved through our staff with compassionate honesty and integrity while adopting the core philosophy of care. Besides providing care for patients and their loved ones, our hospice team strives to educate the community on its convenience.

At Idaho Falls Hospice Care, people eligible for Medicare and Medicaid can pay through the hospice benefit. There are no co-pay costs or out-of-the-pocket settlements for qualified Medicare beneficiaries. On the other hand, Medicaid and other certified private insurance companies also cover hospice payments with minimal personal costs. We are also in-network with many other private insurance schemes and private pay.

The main goal of hospice is to make sure the patient has access to everything that they want in their last stage of life. A personalized care plan helps everyone including staff, family members, and the patient work toward the same goals. Having a specific plan helps to prioritize the most important things and ensures everyone is on the same page. It is also important to set expectations based on the needs of the hospice patient such as how often staff needs to visit, when they need to visit, and which staff and resources the patient is most in need of. The dedicated hospice team at Solace will work together to create a customized plan with each hospice patient.
