The journey to the end of life can feel uncertain and complex. At New Vision Hospice & Palliative Care, we’re committed to providing clarity and compassionate care. Typically, this journey can be understood through three distinct stages of end-of-life care: the initial stage, middle stage, and final stage. Let’s delve into these stages and how they shape the care we provide.
The Initial Stage: Identifying Needs
In the initial stage, our care team conducts a comprehensive assessment to understand the patient’s physical, psychological, and spiritual needs. This stage is characterized by active involvement from our care team, providing pain management, symptom control, and emotional support to ensure the patient’s comfort and dignity.
The Middle Stage: Continuous Support
As the illness progresses, the focus remains on comfort and quality of life. The frequency of medical interventions may decrease as the emphasis shifts to maintaining patient comfort. The middle stage is characterized by ongoing symptom management, coupled with emotional and psychological support for both the patient and their loved ones.
The Final Stage: Saying Goodbye
In the final stage, the focus is on ensuring the patient’s comfort and supporting loved ones. While some treatments may be discontinued, our team continues to manage pain and other symptoms. Additionally, we provide emotional and spiritual support to the patient and their family, aiding in the processing of grief and the saying of goodbyes.
Team Collaboration Across Stages
In all stages, our interdisciplinary team collaborates to tailor care to the patient’s evolving needs. From doctors and nurses managing medical care to social workers and spiritual counselors providing emotional and spiritual support, our team is dedicated to providing comprehensive care.
Compassionate Care at Every Stage
At New Vision Hospice & Palliative Care, we believe in providing compassionate, personalized care at every stage of the end-of-life journey. Our team is here to help patients and their loved ones navigate these stages with respect, dignity, and understanding.
