Companionship and respite care for caregivers by hospice-trained volunteers

Accredited Hospices of America works closely with healthcare professionals in hospitals, assisted living, and nursing facilities.  To facilitate smooth and timely transition to hospice care - from both a healthcare and an administrative standpoint.  Upon receiving your referral, our admissions team responds within a two hour time frame or more quickly as indicated to meet the needs of the patient.

When is the Right Time for Referral?

Consider Accredited Hospices of America When:

  • Your patient has an advanced illness
  • Your patient is declining
  • Your patient and family request are considering hospice care

Signs of Decline May Include:

  • Significant weight loss despite efforts to support dietary intake
  • Hospitalization more than once in the last several months
  • The patient is increasingly less independent, needs more help
  • Their primary illness is progressing more rapidly despite interventions
  • The patient is withdrawing from family and/or caregivers
  • The patient is sleeping increasingly longer periods during the day
  • Multiple co-morbid conditions are worsening or developing

If uncertainty exists or the patient and family need further discussion of the Hospice approach, we are here to help.  Please contact us if you would like to make a referral or if we may assist you in any way.
