Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Visiting Nurse is closely monitoring the evolution of COVID-19 and following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO).

We always follow best practices for infection prevention and have added additional precautions above and beyond current recommendations. We are taking all steps necessary to ensure the health and safety of our staff, volunteers, patients, and families.
We are implementing visitor screenings at Hospice Home to aid in protecting our patients, families and staff. We will not turn away a family member, who may be exhibiting symptoms, if their loved one is extremely fragile. We will instead provide them with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to ensure that they can continue to see their loved ones and yet be safe in doing so.
We understand that COVID-19 may have added significantly to the anxiety and emotion that’s evoked by hospice and palliative care even in the best of times. Driven by our dedication to the highest quality of care, our team of compassionate caregivers are continuing to meet the needs of the individuals we have the opportunity to serve. As a mission-driven nonprofit, we are dedicated to doing the right thing for the patient and the family at the right time.

Stay home, and call your doctor if you have these symptoms:

  • Fever
  • Sore throat
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath
  • Nausea
  • Aches and/or chills
