BLUEVINE HOSPICE
Compassionate, informed and taylored Hospice Care for life limiting illnesses.
Our Programs

We understand that terminally ill residents in Houston and surrounding areas deserve exceptional care without having to leave their senior living community. That's why we offer hospice services right where they call home. Our assisted living communities wholeheartedly believe in the "aging in place" philosophy and are dedicated to fulfilling seniors’ wishes. Our compassionate caregivers work closely with hospice providers to ensure that residents receive the highest level of care during their stay.

 

Our approach: person first, disease second. We put our patients' wishes first in their care plan and prioritize their quality of life. Even in the face of a terminal illness, we strive to help each patient live as fully as possible.

Hospice in care homes and living facilities
Clearing up misunderstandings about hospice care can significantly reduce worries for elderly individuals and their family members. The comforting reality is that expert assistance can come directly to the patient's residence or senior living community. Our dedicated team of nursing professionals and caregivers is available at your preferred location, offering the necessary assistance and services you require.
When you or someone dear is approaching the end of their journey, opting for hospice care within an assisted living environment can provide a much-needed sense of solace and assistance. Hospice care teams extend empathetic care to seniors, delivering emotional and physical support throughout their remaining days, weeks, or months. These caring professionals bring peace to the individual and offer precious guidance to relatives as they face challenging choices.
One of the primary advantages of providing hospice care within an assisted living setting is the opportunity for seniors to stay within their residence's familiar and comforting surroundings during their final moments. This helps establish a serene and significant atmosphere for the individual while also fostering a profoundly positive experience for their family and friends. As healthcare providers, it's essential to acknowledge the importance of this environment in promoting the well-being of the patient and their loved ones.

Hospice services:

  • Hospice care focuses on providing relief from pain and controlling symptoms to improve quality of life.

Where can hospice care be carried out?
Hospice care can be provided in any setting where a patient lives, such as private residences, apartments, nursing homes, or assisted living facilities.
Do hospice services differ from those provided in assisted living or skilled nursing care?
Hospice offers unique services tailored to provide exceptional care during the final stages of life. Focusing on effective pain and symptom management, hospices ensure that patients and their families receive the best possible care and support, whereas assisted living and skilled nursing services provide a less hands-on approach.
What is covered?
Numerous secondary insurance policies, encompassing Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance options, offer comprehensive coverage for hospice services. The dedicated hospice team provides medical assistance, personal care, spiritual guidance, emotional support, bereavement counseling, and friendly companionship to ensure a comfortable experience during this challenging period. Additionally, essential medical equipment and medications pertinent to the terminal conditions are provided.
Can nursing or assisted living facilities provide end-of-life care?
Choosing hospice while in a senior facility ensures that your loved one will receive exceptional care through a collaborative approach. A hospice team works in conjunction with the facility's readily available services to add aid care for daily living. We also provide skilled nursing visits for pain management and to address changes in your loved one's condition. Additionally, our hospice offers anticipatory grief support and access to a 24/7 on-call nurses hotline. With this extra layer of care, families feel confident knowing their loved one is receiving comprehensive support. Our facility partners also benefit from the presence of additional clinical staff to provide residents with extra assistance whenever necessary.
