Chicago South’s Hospice Care Team

A hospice care team is made up of various people, all dedicated to maintaining a patient’s quality of life and keeping them comfortable during the final days, weeks or months of life. Three Oaks Chicago South hospice team works with the primary care physician to coordinate care. Here are some typical members of a hospice care team:

Hospice Nurses

Hospice nurses monitor, assess and handle everyday medical needs, from making sure the patient takes prescribed pain medication to set up medical equipment and taking daily temperature or blood pressure readings. These nurses also help family members understand how to better care for the hospice patient.

Hospice Volunteers

Volunteers work with families and hospice care staff to provide extra companionship and emotional support for terminal patients in hospice. Volunteers may include those who specialize in music or art therapy as well as friendly, compassionate visitors who stop in to play a game of cards or read a book to the patient.

Hospice Aides

Hospice aides help with bathing, grooming, dressing and other day-to-day personal needs while providing companionship to hospice patients.

Social Workers

The social workers on your hospice care team can help access local programs and fill out paperwork involving financial, legal or practical concerns.

Spiritual Advisers

Chaplains and clergy members visit hospice patients to help fulfill the patients’ spiritual needs and discuss religious concerns about the end of life.

Bereavement Counselors

Bereavement counselors meet with family members after the hospice patient’s death to help them through the grief process. Bereavement services are available up to 13 months after the patient’s passing.
