Our hospice team focuses on providing care and compassion for our patients and their families.

Services include:

  • Support available 24/7 with dedicated weekend and on call teams
  • Highly skilled nursing care with an emphasis on pain control and symptom management
  • Services offered at home, in a nursing home, and other similar facilities
  • All medications used to relieve symptoms, medical supplies, and equipment
  • Volunteer companionship, transportation, errands, or more importantly “just being there”
  • Short inpatient respite care when the caregiver needs relief
  • Licensed Social Workers offer emotional support and assistance with financial/legal concerns
  • Spiritual support by non-denominational Chaplains
  • Bereavement and follow up support for 13 months after the death and longer if needed
  • Grief classes, individual/group counseling, crisis support, & other community based educational programs

In the majority of situations, 100% of hospice services are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or private healthcare insurance. If a patient is uninsured or underinsured, Covenant may be able to identify methods and resources to cover the shortfall for eligible patients.

Covenant also offers assistance to patients and their families to confirm the type and extent of patient insurance coverage.
