The Plan
 

The plan is reviewed and updated as needed, based on your changing needs. We encourage your participation and will provide necessary medical information to assist you. You have the right to refuse any medication or treatment procedure. However, such refusal may require us to obtain a written statement releasing the Agency from all responsibility resulting from such action. Should this happen, we would encourage you to discuss the matter with your physician for advice and guidance. With your help, on admission we will create an updated list of your medications. We will compare this list to the medications ordered by the physician. Our staff will continue to compare the list to the medications that are ordered, administered, or dispensed to you while under our care so any discrepancies ( such as omissions, duplications, potential interactions) can be resolved. We fully recognize your right to dignity and individuality, including privacy in treatment and in the care of your personal needs. We will always notify you if additional individual needs need to be present for your visit for reasons of safety, education, or supervision. Prior to anyone visiting your home, we will ask your permission. You have the right to refuse any visitors, and this will not compromise your care in any way. We do not participate in any experimental research connected with patient care except under the direction of your physician and with your written consent. There must be a willing, able, and available caregiver to be responsible for your care between hospice visits. This person can be you, a family member, a friend, or a paid caregiver.

Earlier referrals to hospice help patients and family’s access and receive the maximum benefit and full scope of hospice services.
