How Does Hospice Maintain Dignity For Patients In Care?
Bayou City Provides A Compassionate Approach Toward Our Patients
We understand that moving a loved one into hospice is a big change. Making the choice to involve other people in your loved one’s care can not only relieve stress for yourself, but you are also giving your loved one the opportunity to receive care that is specialized for them. You can trust that we care for every patient as if they were part of our own family. At Bayou City, we offer personalized care for all our patients. We focus on their physical needs, as well as their emotional needs. Having a compassionate approach to our patients’ care is what sets us apart from other hospice care providers. We understand that health and dignity not only come from physical needs but also from receiving kindness and interactions from other people. Our staff and volunteers make sure that everyone who is in our facility receives the attention and respect that they deserve.
Personalized Care Plans Allow Us To Focus On Your Loved One
Our care team takes the time to create a personalized care plan for every patient. This not only allows us to make sure that they are receiving the exact care that they need, but it also allows us to connect to them on a personal level. We have found that tailoring their care plan on a personal level makes them feel understood and respected. We are able to address medical, personal, and cultural factors when we are able to connect with a patient on a personal level.
We Like To Empower Everyone Who Steps Into Our Facility
Entering hospice is a difficult time for everybody. We know the importance of transitioning them into new care and try to make the change as easy as possible. One way we make a patient still feel in control is by allowing them the freedom to make decisions for themselves on a daily basis. We encourage every patient to participate in the decisions for their care as much as possible. A patient can decide which activities they want to participate in, what their visitation preferences are, and even what pain management strategies they want to continue. This allows the patient to control the experience that they have at Bayou City.
Personal Connections Help With Pain And Symptom Management
Allowing patients to find comfort when they are staying at Bayou City, especially if they are in pain, is very important to us. Pain management is a central focus of our hospice care plans, and we like to tend to our patients in every way so they can get to a place of comfort. Comfort allows hospice patients to feel some bit of normalcy in their day-to-day lives. Our personal connection with a patient allows them to trust us and communicate what they are feeling. This not only helps us adjust our care plans on a deeper level, but it also helps us understand what each and every person is going through and who they are as a person. Our staff and volunteers know the importance of understanding patients on a deeper level. Their training and expertise are one of the main things that set Bayou City apart from other hospice facilities.
Communication Is Key At Bayou City Hospice
Our approach to care is keeping open and honest conversations with our patients, their families, our caregivers, and our volunteers. This allows us to build trust and makes our hospice care patients feel valued, understood, and respected. We believe this level of care and communication allows us to connect on a deeper level and handle a patient’s needs and wishes with the utmost care. This also helps when we need to have difficult conversations that need to be handled with the most sensitivity. Encouraging everyone to express their feelings, helps us give the care that they deserve.
Emotional Support Allows People To Find Comfort
We understand that finding comfort while entering a new phase of life can be very difficult. That is why we offer support and counseling to our patients to help them through this difficult time in their lives. Providing counseling to a patient allows them to speak about their mental or physical pain, end-of-life wishes or concerns, and any topics they want to discuss. We believe that counseling allows a patient to find healing and comfort. These conversations help reinforce dignity and allow us to acknowledge and celebrate each person individually.
Supporting Families And Caregivers Is Important
Not only do we provide support for our patients, but we also provide support and counseling for our patient’s family members and our staff. We know that every one that is involved in a person’s hospice care is experiencing difficult emotions and needs support. We extend our care and support to our staff members and our patient’s family members, so everyone understands the care that we are providing our patients. Offering education and counseling to everyone who is involved can help everyone understand what a hospice patient is going through. Understanding their care can help family members support their loved ones in a way that means the most. When we support loved ones, it can help reduce stress on everyone, including the patient, and allow them to focus on meaningful connections and embrace the time they have with one another.
We Provide A Comfortable Environment For Every Patient
At Bayou City Hospice, we work to create an environment that is stress-free and allows people to feel like they are at home. We make sure to help every patient feel like they have familiar routines and encourage them to keep personal items in their room. This allows them to create good memories during their time with us. Keeping your loved one in a social environment allows them to not feel alone and connect on a deeper level with our staff, our volunteers, and other people who are staying at our facility.
We Understand The Importance In Maintaining A Person’s Dignity
Maintaining patient dignity is one of the most important parts of our hospice work. Focusing on our patient’s physical and emotional well-being allows us to give them the personalized care that they deserve. Our staff and volunteers connect on a deeper level with our visitors and patients. This is what sets us apart from other care facilities. We guarantee that your loved one will always be put first and will find the comfort that they deserve during this time in their life.
