Grief and Bereavement care is a critical component of 

hospice care that includes anticipating grief reactions and counseling and supporting family members throughout the patient’s illness and for 13 months following the patient’s death.

Our physical therapists provide pain management and relief by positioning our patients to prevent pressure sores, lessen pain, prevent contractures, and help with breathing and digestion through their therapeutic techniques. Our speech therapists help consult with our patients, their families, and members of our hospice team in the areas of 

communication, cognition, and swallowing function. Our occupational therapist identifies life roles and activities that provide meaning to our patients, and they work to address barriers that may exist when performing such activities of daily living.

Our dietitian addresses problems with eating such as poor appetite, nausea and weight loss to ensure the patient is able to enjoy his or her meals.

Our medical social worker educates and assists our patients by helping them understand their life circumstances, goals, and connects them with other community resources.

Our hospice doctors approve patients for hospice 

admission, oversee our hospice care team, and re-certifies patients for continued hospice care here at Ka-Dash. Our physicians are available to visit patients as needed and to consult with patients' personal doctors.

Our hospice nurse collaborates with our team of healthcare providers and specialists to create a care plan for our patients. The nurse discusses and explains your prognosis, monitors breathing and vitals, provides education on administering medications, and performs wound care. Our nurses at Ka-Dash Hospice advocate for comfort and dignity. They educate and guide.

Our volunteers provide companionship and help care for the patient. Their help can range from light housekeeping, running errands, or direct patient care. They help by becoming a part of the patient’s support system, and they provide an opportunity for the family to rest.

Our chaplin counseling services help our patients and their families explore spiritual concerns and navigate the life changes that accompany hospice experience.

Our aides assist with activities of daily living such as 

hygiene, bathing, light meals, walking, and getting out of bed.

We have partnered with a licensed pharmacist and durable and soft medical equipment companies to provide our patients with the resources to alleviate pain and create more comfort and ease while they are under our hospice care.
