San Carlos Elms Residents Receive an Education on Hospice Care

Rabbi Hugh from VITAS Innovative Hospice Care came in this afternoon to educate our Residents and family members on Hospice Care.

When asked, most Residents see Hospice Care as the end of life. When in actuality Hospice Care is a type of care and philosophy of care that focuses on the palliation of a chronically ill, terminally ill or seriously ill patient's pain and symptoms, and attending to their emotional and spiritual needs.

 

Our Residents left Rabbi Hugh's lecture today well informed and happy to understand Hospice Care.

Thank you Rabbi Hugh!
