About This Location
There are times when the needs of the hospice patient exceed the care that can be provided by family and friends. The Thomas P. Perciak Family Residential Hospice of Southwest General offers a comfortable setting and is staffed with professional hospice personnel who can provide for inpatient care in a home-like environment.
Levels of Care
Symptom Management:
This level of care involves frequent nursing assessment and care planning to address symptoms that cannot be easily managed at home or in another setting. This is typically a short-term stay in the residential center with a goal of returning to home or other facility. The hospice attending physician is involved in determining the duration of this level of care.
Respite Care:
Respite care services are provided at the residential center to allow the caregiver a time to rest or attend to personal matters, knowing the patient is being cared for by trained staff members. To inquire about the use of respite care, please talk with your hospice nurse or social worker.
Residential Care:
This level of care is intended for short-term use with the acknowledgement that each patient’s needs are individually assessed. Length of stay is evaluated regularly by the interdisciplinary team. Room and board is not covered under the hospice Medicare benefit. All or part of this cost may be covered by private insurers. The hospice social worker is available to assist with financial assessment.
