Nineveh Hospice was founded on the belief that all individuals deserve compassionate care, support, and unconditional grace. We serve each patient and their family, providing hope, caring hearts, and compassion. Nineveh’s team eases the physical pain of the body and aids patients as they navigate the emotional response of this meaningful journey.
Home Hospice Services Supporting The Body, Mind, and Soul
Nineveh Hospice does not exist as a building; Nineveh is a team, a support, and a promise. We provide in-home hospice services, ensuring that patients can receive the care they need in the home that brings them joy, surrounds them with love, and offers the most physical comfort.
Staff members at Nineveh Hospice uphold a belief that hospice care requires nurturing physical, mental, and emotional needs. Our team delivers compassionate care, pain management, and therapeutic services for a holistic and comprehensive approach that supports the patient and their family.
How Nineveh Hospice Provides Pain Management Support
We provide pain management and support through medication, relaxation techniques, or other therapies. We work with patients and their families to find treatments and therapies to provide comfort and ease pain, prioritizing pain management and symptom relief to enhance the quality of life.
Medication Management
Patients continue to take and receive any and all medication that eases symptoms and pain. Nineveh's care team manages medication and adheres to proper dosing.
Support with Activities of Daily Living (ADL)
Hospice offers Home Health Aide support. Hospice Aides can visit a few days each week and can perform tasks as ordered by the nurse. During their visits, they can help feed and bathe patients, aid them with personal care needs, and assist with light housekeeping.
Emotional Care and Support
The mind is not always prepared to manage emotional struggles. Peace with the next stage happens at different times for every individual. Some patients and their families need more support than others to manage their emotions and find peace.
Nineveh Hospice staff understands that the journey is unique. We offer many resources for families and patients, including grief counselors, support groups, pet therapy, music therapy, and other resources the family may need.
Bereavement Support and Resources
Bereavement and grief are complicated processes. We walk this path with each family member, helping them navigate and reminding them that they are never, ever alone.
