Caring for hospice patients. In a nursing facility.
Hospices across the nation have successfully developed hospice programs to serve residents in nursing facilities. Three major principles have been identified as key to the programs' success: the nursing facility is considered to be the patient's own home, the nursing facility's staff are the patient's extended family, and that same staff are members of the expanded hospice team.
