Hospice care can be provided in a variety of settings, depending on the needs and preferences of the patient and their family. The most common types of hospice care are home hospice care, inpatient hospice care, and residential hospice care.
Home hospice care allows patients to receive hospice care in the comfort of their own homes. This can be a good option for patients who want to spend their remaining time with their family and friends in a familiar environment. Canaan Healthcare Inc. provides comprehensive home hospice care services, including nursing care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual support.
Inpatient hospice care is provided in a hospital or hospice facility. Continuous hospice care may be essential for patients who require 24-hour medical attention or have symptoms that cannot be effectively managed in a home setting. Canaan Healthcare Inc. works with hospitals and hospice facilities to provide inpatient hospice care services to our patients.
Residential hospice care is provided in specialized facilities designed to offer comfort and support to patients and families. Canaan Healthcare Inc. assists families in finding and selecting a residential hospice care facility that meets their unique needs.
