The following is an overview of the services offered by Life Source Services.

Hospice nurses focus on keeping the patient comfortable and pain-free. They make regular visits and provide expert pain management and symptom control communicating directly with the physicians. Our nursing staff also provides educational and emotional support to the patient and caregivers, helping ease the fear of the unknown.

As part of the hospice healthcare team, hospice chaplains make spiritual care a priority. Our chaplains offer an open, sensitive and non-judgmental presence and are accepting of different beliefs, cultures and values. It is our goal to support every family with compassion and care. Being able to walk with someone as they approach the end is an incredible gift. Our hope is to share in this sacred time in a way which provides spiritual healing, purpose and meaning.

Hospice social workers are instrumental in helping with some of the unique and complicated daily living details. They assist the patient and family with the many issues which arise at the end of life, such as practical and financial issues, insurance and payment concerns, and funeral arrangements. Using a holistic approach, our social workers also provide education and emotional support during this time of transition.

Our personal care attendants are all certified and provide care in a home or home-like setting. The CNAs provide patients with personal hygiene care, activities of daily living and homemaker services. They may also provide light household services to maintain a safe and sanitary environment for the patient.

Hospice physician services are provided as part of the hospice benefit. We believe that a continued relationship with your primary care physician is important; therefore, the patient or family member may choose to continue their physician relationship or elect to have one of our specialized hospice physicians oversee their care.
