The
Hospice Inn is beautifully furnished with 17 private
rooms and amenities such as a family-style kitchen,
sunroom and outdoor terrace, and offers patients and
their loved ones privacy, comfort and quality of life.
Sleep-in accommodations and a convenient central location
along major highways on the border of Nassau and Suffolk
Counties make for easy visiting any time, day or night.
HCN’s
expert physicians, nurses and personal care aides are
on staff at The Hospice Inn at Huntington to deliver
quality medical care to treat the pain and symptoms
of the patient’s illness, and our social workers,
chaplains and trained volunteers are also on-site to
provide counseling and companionship.
Services
at the Hospice & Palliative Care Unit at Franklin
Medical Center
The Hospice & Palliative Care Center at Franklin
services patients in the final stages of life, as well
as their families, with care and comfort in an inpatient
setting designed to feel like home. Private rooms, homelike
décor and parlors for family respite contribute
to a peaceful, dignified environment. Patient s and
their families are treated with the utmost compassion
by a dedicated and responsive staff, and can take comfort
in unlimited visitation and sleep-in accommodations.
Services
in a Nursing Home:
When nursing home residents choose Hospice Care Network
to assist with their care, we will work with the nursing
home to enhance the patient’s comfort. While Medicare
and most insurance plans will cover this, the patient
will still have to pay the nursing home’s daily
room and board fee. (For those on Medicaid, the room
and board charge will be covered by Medicaid.)
Services
for the Family:
Many issues arise when a family is facing the loss of
a loved one. Because emotional and spiritual well-being
are as important as managing pain and symptoms, a large
staff of licensed social workers and chaplains play
an integral role on our care team. We recognize that
each patient and family is unique, and we strive to
be responsive to the special needs of everyone we serve.
Our
goal is for patients to have a peaceful, meaningful,
end-or-life experience—one in which they have
the time and physical capacity to get their affairs
in order, have meaningful conversations with friends
and loved ones, and resolve any unfinished “business”
in their lives.
