What services to hospices and nursing homes offer, specifics please?

Hospices provide: pain management and symptom control, 24-hour phone consultation, after-hours emergency visits, medical social workers, personal care, home health aides, massage therapy, spiritual support, volunteer respite care, and community education on end of life issues. For example, with spiritual support, patients are provided with emotional support and both religious and non-religious care of the 鈥渟pirit鈥? Illness affects people in many ways, and often people find it very 鈥渉ealing鈥?or just plain calming to take advantage of this service. Also, the education on end of life issues is very helpful to the patients in hospices because it helps them to understand the choices they need to make when considering end of life care and decisions. Nursing homes provide the services of nurses, nursing aides and assistants; physical, occupational and speech therapists; social workers and recreational assistants; and room and board.
