There is perhaps no more difficult journey than the one taken by terminally ill patients and their families. But this is not a journey you have to take alone. Let us care for, comfort, and support you and your loved ones during this difficult time. This is the time when the power of touch, a warm smile, kind words, listening ears and compassionate caring have an impact that will never be forgotten.
Why we are different? We provide aide services 7 days a week in patients’ homes or assisted living facilities and Monday through Friday in nursing homes.
Helping Hearts Hospice of Daviess Community Hospital is designed to make coping with terminal illness easier by providing a pain management and supportive care in patient homes or home-like surroundings.
Dedicated nurses, physicians, social workers, chaplains, volunteers and other help individuals with limited life expectancy maintain their independence and dignity while receiving care and services that provide comfort and support.
Patients and their families in Hospice benefit from our compassionate care philosophy and deep understanding of terminal illness. When curative measures are no longer helpful, Hospice focuses on the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of the patient and family. Special emphasis is placed on relieving pain and making the final days of life full and meaningful.
The Helping Hearts Hospice Program uses a team approach to deliver the best care for our patients, their families, and their caregivers, drawing on the specific expertise of each team member.
Portions of Hospice services are covered by insurance. No one is denied Hospice care because of inability to pay. The Helping Hearts Hospice Program relies on donations from private individuals and businesses to provide quality services to the terminally ill.
