Hospice nurses: the core of our care
Our registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and hospice nursing aides work thoroughly to assess and manage pain, as well as create individualized plans of care to ensure the highest quality of life for each hospice patient. Our team also provides education and support to you and your loved ones during the end-of-life journey and through the grieving process.
Our nursing team goes above and beyond for our patients and their loved ones every day, often serving as friend, confidant and support system. Whether helping to accommodate special requests or answering a call from a caregiver in the middle of the night, our hospice nurses are there to support you and your family.
Your Nursing Team
Our licensed and registered nurses supervise and coordinate care with all members of the ViaQuest team, including licensed practical nurses and hospice nursing aides. Whether conducting assessments, administering medication, or helping with personal care, our hands on, dedicated team works together to ensure that patients receive the best care possible.
The ViaQuest Difference
During Herrel’s first week with ViaQuest Hospice, nurses spent time getting to know him and his family, one-on-one, developing a personalized treatment plan. Based on the conversations with him and his family, our nurses ordered all of his medication and equipment, as well as put together a comfort kit with everything needed for his at-home care.
Ten days later, Herrel experienced an attack of severe pain, and his wife called ViaQuest’s on-call services to assist. His hospice nurse quickly gave direction on which medications his wife needed to administer from the prepared comfort kit, and Herrel’s pain immediately began subsiding. ViaQuest is about being hands on, knowing our patients and providing excellence in caring comprehensively for our patients and their families.
