Lakeland Area Hospice provides four levels of care to meet the needs of patients and their families.

 

​

 

Routine Care

​

Care provided in the comfort and security of your home wherever you are - in the home, assisted living facility or in a skilled nursing facility. A hospice nurse will work with a patient's primary physician to bring the appropriate hospice services to your home. Members of our hospice team will work with caregivers to help them feel comfortable performing routine care activities.

 

​

Respite Care

​

Care provided when caregivers would benefit from short-term relief from the day-to-day care they provide at the home. This type of short-term care is usually provided at a skilled nursing facility for up to five days in a row.

 

​

​

Continuous Care(Care Plus)

​

Care provided for short periods in your home when skilled nursing care is required to help manage acute symptoms. This type of care is provided for a set number of hours per day for a few days.

 

​

​

General Inpatient Care

​

Care provided for a short-term stay in a hospice care center, in a skilled nursing facility, or hospital when 24-hour skilled nursing care is necessary to help manage symptoms.
