Hospice Care Torrance

Torrance Hospice Care

Torrance Hospice care is for people who are near the end of their life and who have a limited life expectancy, typically six months or less. Hospice care can be given in one’s own home, a nursing home or other facility, or in a hospice facility that provides services such as restorative care, pain and symptom management, emotional support and bereavement counseling, such as at True Care hospice.

Comfort and Dignity Throughout the Aging Process

The goal of hospice care is to control pain and other symptoms so that comfort may be achieved for both patient and family. The patient has the option to remain at home until death occurs there. Like other types of care, True Care hospice in Torrance is provided by a team of professionals.

The health professionals involved in the initial assessment and ongoing support may include nurses, physicians, social workers or mental health therapists. At True Care hospice in Torrance, we also work with individuals from various religious organizations as well as emotional wellness and bereavement counselors. A registered nurse or nurse’s aide may deliver medications and assess pain levels to help treat the patient in the comfort and familiarity of their home.

If the home is not equipped with medical equipment such as intravenous machines to administer intravenous medications, then mobile equipment will be utilized to provide access to these services at home. Our hospice care in Torrance can be given outside of the home as well, such as at a hospital or nursing home facility.

How Does Hospice Care in Torrance Work?

A social worker, usually a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), will help to assess the patient’s home living situation and help with planning for the patient’s funeral. This person can also provide emotional support and counseling services to the patient and family throughout the individual’s stay in hospice care. A hospice social worker may also be involved in helping the family make decisions about end-of-life care and funeral plans.

At True Care hospice in Torrance, if desired, a chaplain or spiritual counselor is also sometimes included in a patient’s care team. A chaplain is a religious leader who works with people at the crossroads of life; he or she may join a person as they prepare for death, as well as be involved in providing spiritual guidance for family members before and after death occurs.

What are the Benefits of Hospice Care in Torrance?

Most of us are familiar with the term “end of life care”. This phrase gets thrown around in many contexts, but for some people who find themselves in a position to face this reality, it can be very personal and become something that they are completely unprepared for. It’s easy to say it, but another thing entirely to live it.

There are many fantastic benefits to hospice care– the social support provided by a caregiver who cares deeply about your loved one’s needs; the dignity and peace of mind which comes with knowing that your family member will not have an extended illness; and the emotional and psychological comfort which comes with laying the groundwork for the passing of a loved one.
