Compassus provides at-home hospice care in Grand Blanc, Michigan, and across the region including Flint, Owasso, Lapeer, and Fenton. The organization offers compassionate end-of-life care with a focus on reducing suffering and promoting comfort, available 24/7 with a physical office open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The hospice program includes nursing care with an emphasis on symptom management, practical assistance, and emotional support for patients and families. Compassus has developed 12 evidence-based disease management programs covering frequently seen conditions such as congestive heart failure, cancer, COPD, Alzheimer's disease, and stroke, offering standardized care with a personal experience.
Services provided through Medicare-certified, geographically assigned teams include short-term inpatient respite care for family caregivers, ongoing grief counseling for patients and families, home medical equipment, medications and personal care supplies, and visits from licensed nurses, aides, and therapists. Care is delivered wherever the patient calls home, including hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or private residences.
The hospice team consists of professionals trained to ensure dignity and comfort at the end of life, and hospice volunteers support patients and families through activities such as reading, meal preparation, and household assistance. Compassus works with patients and their doctors on personalized care plans to help maintain quality of life during this time.
