Hospice is about living, not dying. During the last week of life, we want to ensure that the patient is as comfortable as possible, and that the family has as much support as possible. During this time we increase our visits to ensure that we are meeting these goals. Our goal is to attend every death that we can. Although there is no way to predict exactly when one will die, we increase our visits to increase our support which helps our team to look for signs and symptoms to help support the Patient, Family, Friends, and the Care Team wherever the patient is living.

Grief doesn’t just start at the time a loved one dies, and it doesn’t end at a prescribed amount of days, or months after the death. Everyone deals with grief differently, and Moments Hospice offers a variety of bereavement services to support families mourning a loss and moving forward while they cope. We follow our bereaved families for a minimum of 13 months after the death of their loved one.
Our trained Bereavement Coordinators offer:

• Information and education on death, grief, and coping strategies.
• Open communication with your bereavement coordinator and other members of the hospice team by telephone, mailings, or in-person visits.
• Access and referral to supportive services such as bereavement support groups, individual counseling, and community grief support resources.
• An annual memorial celebration to honor and pay tribute to loved ones of our Patients.

Patient services are provided without regard to race, color, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, disability (mental or physical), communicable disease, or place of national origin. Moments Hospice is a for profit organization that is Federal certified and state licensed.
