If you are caring for a loved one in hospice, you may not know that a benefit exists specifically to give you a break. Bristol Hospice explains what respite care is, how it works under the hospice benefit, and why using it is not something to feel guilty about.
Programs For Our Patients, Families, and Communities
Bristol Hospice, LLC, was formed in 2006, focusing on the delivery of hospice services in the geographic areas as identified in the company’s strategic plan.
We are graciously committed to our mission that all patients and families entrusted to our care will be treated with the highest level of compassion, respect, and quality of care.
Guided by these values and clinical research, Bristol Hospice is honored to be an innovator; utilizing non-pharmacological methods of comfort and going above and beyond what is expected by hospice care standards, through our specialty care programs.
These Bristol programs, such as “Sweet Dreams” and “Bright Moments” are especially helpful to those struggling with the effects of Alzheimer’s or dementia. Through these programs, we hope to give “Light to Life” for each patient at their end-of-life. In so doing, we have the honor to provide additional methods of care, comfort and support for the patient, their families, caregivers and loved ones.
