When you need palliative care or hospice care, you want a team of dedicated professionals. That’s Suncrest – and we’re ready to help in any way we can.
At Suncrest, we’re passionate about providing people with support at the end of life, and we’ve had the privilege of caring for numerous Phoenix patients with incurable conditions. As such, we know that everyone has different priorities in their final days, and we understand that each person needs different care services to meet their unique needs.
What does that mean for you? Our extensive knowledge and experience in comfort care allows our patients to enjoy the highest quality of life – and if you or a loved one is battling a serious illness, the services we provide will be of great benefit. Our care team in Phoenix provides the following services to people who need help:
Hospice Care
The highly experienced team at Suncrest offers a broad range of hospice support services to terminally ill Phoenix patients and their families.
Hospice is considered to be comfort care, as the specific services provided are designed to help people be comfortable at the end of life. When patients with serious diseases and illnesses decide to end the search for a cure and have a doctor’s prognosis of less than six months, they can choose hospice care at home – and in most cases, Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance plans cover the full cost of services.
The Suncrest hospice care team includes a number of skilled professionals, with physicians, registered nurses, therapists, spiritual care providers, bereavement counselors and other specialists combining their efforts to help each patient. Services are designed to provide a person with the best possible quality of life in the time they have left. Hospice care plans are customized, but patients can expect:
- Delivery of medications, equipment and supplies
- Effective pain and symptom management
- Special services like art, speech, music and massage therapy
- Access to a 24-hour on-call hospice nurse
- Counseling and spiritual support for the patient and their family
Palliative Care
The Suncrest palliative care team provides an extra layer of assistance to Phoenix patients with life-threatening conditions and serious diseases.
Palliative care fits under the umbrella of home health care, but services are designed for individuals with chronic, progressive and complex illnesses. Anyone who is living with cancer, dementia, heart failure, HIV or any other terminal condition can benefit from this type of holistic care. And, many insurance providers cover the costs of in-home palliative care services.
Patients can take advantage of palliative care at any stage of illness, and they can continue to pursue curative treatments. Palliative services are provided by an interdisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, nutritionists, chaplains and other trained professionals, all of whom work together to meet each person’s medical, emotional and personal needs. Care plans are focused on:
- Managing pain and other troubling symptoms
- Preventing unnecessary hospitalizations
- Providing family caregivers with support and education
- Offering guidance on advance directive decisions
- Helping patients remain in their Phoenix homes
