Specialized
Hospice Care
Programs

We surround patients with the care and tailored support to best meet each individual’s unique situation. In addition to our Complete Care offerings, our hospice specialty care includes, but is not limited to, treating the following conditions:

Memory

Designed to provide an environment of comfort and safety for those living with Alzheimer’s and dementia who have declined cognitive abilities that impair daily life and independent function.

Cancer

Managed pain relief for cancer patients who typically experience pain and nausea, can be sensitive to the discomfort of needles, and often have a very high tolerance to pain medications in general from years of taking them.

Cardiac

Focused effort on reducing risk of falls due to heart disease symptoms that can include hypertension, cardiac fatigue, shortness of breath, edema, and poor perfusion leading to muscle burning or cramping.

Respiratory

Improved fear of anxiety caused by symptoms of lung disease—shortness of breath, dyspnea on exertion, and air hunger—that can make it difficult to perform and find joy in daily tasks.

Peace of
Mind Through
Expert Care

To support our integrative approach to hospice, we have developed a number of evidence-based initiatives to best serve our patients and their families.

Integrated Services

We believe that when a person feels seen beyond their medical condition, their quality of life and relationships are enhanced. As part of our Complete Care Solution for hospice, we practice soothing through the senses by using an integrative and holistic approach. We are able to provide our patients experiences that bring comfort, joy, and wholeness.

Veteran Recognition

Our compassionate professionals are equipped to support veterans emotionally, spiritually, and physically. It is our duty and privilege to serve the heroes that served our country. For that reason, we offer a four-step process to recognize veterans as part of our hospice services.

Hospice
Volunteers

Our volunteers are part of the Constellation hospice team and support our patients by providing them with a comforting presence at their end-of-life. As part of our team, volunteers receive free training that will guide them in this important work. We are committed to offering volunteers additional training—when available—in Reiki, aromatherapy, dementia, vigil, and bereavement.
