Hospice care where the patient calls home
Many families want to know whether hospice can come to the home. In most cases, hospice is designed to support patients wherever they call home. Tranquility Hospice Care provides hospice care at home for families in Georgetown, Round Rock, North Austin, Williamson County, and nearby Central Texas communities.
Home may mean a private residence, assisted living community, memory care, nursing facility, personal care home, or another residential setting.
Why families choose hospice at home
Families choose hospice at home because it can help the patient remain in a familiar place while receiving comfort-focused support. Hospice can help manage symptoms, provide equipment and supplies related to hospice needs, support caregivers, and create a plan for what to do when needs change.
Hospice also gives families a team to call when questions come up.
Who this is for
Hospice care at home may be appropriate for patients with a life-limiting illness whose care goals have shifted toward comfort and quality of life. It can help when symptoms are changing, hospital visits are increasing, caregiving is harder, or families need more guidance.
