Additional Services
Hospice care extends beyond direct medical support to help patients and families manage everyday needs with greater confidence and comfort. At Lumiere Crest Hospice, we offer a range of supportive services designed to complement each patient’s individualized care plan while helping caregivers feel informed and supported throughout the hospice journey.
Family Support
Family members play an important role in hospice care, and we are committed to supporting them every step of the way. Our team provides guidance, education, and practical assistance to help loved ones continue caring for the patient in a familiar and comfortable environment.
Certified Hospice Aides may assist with daily activities, including:
- Bathing
- Light household chores
- Meal preparation
Additional Supportive Services
Depending on the patient’s individual needs and plan of care, additional hospice services may include:
- Hospice-Related Medication Delivery: Medications related to the hospice diagnosis are coordinated and delivered to the patient’s place of care when appropriate.
- Medical Equipment & Supply Delivery: Hospice-related medical equipment and supplies are arranged to support the patient’s comfort and daily care needs.
- Caregiver Education & Training: Families and caregivers receive practical instruction and ongoing guidance to help them confidently provide day-to-day care.
