Most hospice care is provided through in-home hospice services. However, when a patient needs around-the-clock hospice care to manage their pain and symptoms, our hospice house is available. The Kavanagh House provides a home-like atmosphere with private bedrooms, living rooms, family kitchens, children's play areas, and other family amenities.
Patients and families can also enjoy being outdoors where they are surrounded by nature and scenic gardens. Respite care, a period of time up to five days in which the primary caregiver is relieved of caregiving, is also available.
You and your family decide on the services right for you, and your hospice care team works to help with your needs.
Your hospice care team nurse works with you and your family to create a customized plan for your care. The plan details the services you and your family receive. Your care plan can be changed at any time, depending on your needs. Members of the hospice team may include:.
Hospice care through our organization is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance policies. We also offer a sliding fee scale for those with no coverage. The EveryStep Foundation provides hundreds of thousands of dollars in charitable care each year, assuring care is available to everyone who needs it. Under Medicare and Medicaid, all costs are covered including durable medical equipment except for 5 percent of pharmacy costs.
