Hospice of the North Coast

According to the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, nine out of ten adults would prefer to be cared for at home rather than in a hospital or nursing facility if diagnosed with a terminal illness. When routine hospice care becomes necessary, Hospice of the North Coast treats patients in the comfort of their own homes. #hospicecare #healthcare #terminalillness #terminalcancer #palliativecare #sandiego

For 40 years Hospice of the North Coast has been delivering compassionate care to patients and families. We are not for profit and community based, here for our partners and neighbors. We had hoped to celebrate this year's milestone, especially during National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, but we have put celebrations on pause. In this, our 40th year, we recognize our staff for their tireless efforts through the pandemic. #HospiceMonth #HospiceAwareness #hapc #hapcFacesofCaring #WeAreHere @nhpco

Fewer than 50% of adults have legal documents such as advance directives or living wills. As a nonprofit hospice, our goal is to help patients and their families navigate the maze of healthcare choices and end-of-life planning. We encourage families to develop an Advanced Care Plan that includes communicating one’s wishes and designating a surrogate who can advocate and make decisions, when necessary. People with declining chronic illness should also consider a POLST document....

In celebration of #SpiritualCareWeek, we recognize HNC’s Care Advocates Angel, Fadi and Grant who provide strength, guidance and spiritual support to our patients and families at sacred times in their lives.

this #WeAreHere We believe that no one should have to face serious illness or death alone, Carla Davis, CEO of Heart of Hospice, told Hospice News. Holistic, person-centered care delivered by hospice care teams plays a critical role in protecting and improving the mental health of vulnerable populations who would otherwise be left in isolation. The more we are able to work diligently alongside our facility partners to continue providing quality care, the better equip...ped we will be to prevent negative mental health outcomes in individuals facing serious mental illnesses. #hospicecare #carlsbad #sandiego #palliativecare #heartofhospice Heart of Hospice https://hospicenews.com//hospices-adapt-to-support-social/
