Heartland Hospice in Monroe, Michigan provides hospice care to patients with life-limiting illnesses in their homes and other settings. The service offers 24/7 support to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of patients and their families, serving those with conditions such as end-stage heart disease, COPD, Alzheimer's disease, ALS, and cancer.
The care team includes physicians, nurses, social workers, volunteers, hospice aides, and chaplains who work closely with patients and families to develop personalized care plans. Pain management extends beyond medication to include emotional and spiritual support. Patients may receive care in their own home, a relative's or friend's home, an assisted living facility, nursing home, or hospital if specialized medical assistance is needed.
Grief and bereavement services are central to the hospice approach. The team offers professional grief counseling for patients and loved ones, spiritual care addressing questions of faith during end-of-life care, and ongoing bereavement support for families for up to 13 months following a patient's passing. Respite care is available to provide relief for family caregivers.
Heartland Hospice participates in the "We Honor Veterans" program, which includes a focused admissions process for veterans, care teams trained to identify and meet the unique needs of veterans and their families, and individualized plans of care that acknowledge military experiences.
