Helpful Patient Resources
Hospice and Palliative Care
Difficult health matters come with unfamiliar, and many times complex, terrain. We believe you deserve better. AccentCare’s credibility, expertise, and dedicated Hospice and Palliative care teams allow us to carry some of that burden for you. In moments when you need guidance and support the most, we are there.
Hospice Access
We encourage awareness and respect for diversity in our staff, and we support health equity through outreach and education in traditionally underserved communities.
Hospice Eligibility
We often see eligible patients referred to Accentcare with only days or hours left to live, limiting the full usefulness of the holistic care the hospice interdisciplinary team can provide to them and their families.
Hospice Payment
Medicare, Medicaid and the majority of private insurance plans have a hospice benefit that covers costs associated with hospice care. In many cases AccentCare is able to advocate for our patients and secure insurance coverage on a case-by-case basis. Our team can help you navigate this process and will keep you informed every step of the way.
24/7 Support
Staff at our call center are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including on holidays. It’s important that our patients and families can always get in touch with us right away.
Nutrition Support
As you or your loved one’s condition changes, AccentCare’s registered dietitians can help answer any of the questions or concerns you may have about nutrition.
Caregiver Burnout
The work of being the primary caregiver for someone who is seriously ill or on hospice can feel like a roller coaster.
Anticipatory Grief
Anticipatory grief is the process of preparing, both cognitively and emotionally, for the loss of your loved one. It is a normal process of reacting to the impending loss.
Understanding Grief and Bereavement
AccentCare has a team of people that not only care about your loved one but care about supporting you emotionally and psychologically while you anticipate the decline of your loved one.
Grief and Bereavement Support Groups
We recognize that every individual’s needs and journey are unique when dealing with grief and loss. For this reason, we offer various opportunities to find the right support to meet your needs.
Understanding the End of Life
We are here to help families and caregivers look, listen and learn about what you might be seeing in your loved one’s experience.
