Pain and Symptom Management: The multidisciplinary hospice team works to make sure that medication, therapies and procedures are designed to achieve the goals outlined in each care plan, including symptoms that cause pain, discomfort and distress. Renown Physicians and APRN offer in-home visits and are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We also offer free medication delivery through Renown Pharmacy. Coverage also includes all equipment and supplies related to terminal disease.
Emotional Support Services: We understand how difficult this time is for everyone involved and offer 13 months of bereavement services for families, friends and caregivers.
Respite Care: Caregiving is not easy. Respite care provides short-term relief for primary caregivers, giving them to rest and reset. We offer respite care (up to 5 days) to prevent caregiver burnout.
Volunteer Support: Having hospice volunteers is another way we go above and beyond for our patients. The primary goal of our volunteers is to provide empathy and companionship to both the patient and their loved ones during difficult times.
My sister and I were very satisfied with the care provided by Renown Hospice. Their compassion and expertise made a difficult situation less daunting. We were very lucky to have had them help us through this time.
Medicare, Medicaid and most private insurances cover hospice at 100%. Coverage includes medications, equipment and all hospice staff services.
Not-for-profits use donations and monies raised through fundraising events to ensure they are able to provide amenities such as indigent care, extensive grief care services and education opportunities for caregivers and the public. On average, not-for-profit hospices spend more on comprehensive care for patients, provide more in-home care, and admit higher-cost and higher-acuity patients than for-profits. Not-for-profit hospices treat everyone, regardless of their ability to pay or their level of care needed.
