Hospice Serving the greater Boise area of the
Treasure Valley
"You
folks made it so much easier to care for Mom. Every night when I came
home from work, Dad would just rave about your kindness, help, and
performance. We cannot thank you enough." -Daughter of patient
 | Hospice is a health care choice.
No
one has ever said dying is easy. But, for those dying from a terminal
illness, and for their families, Hospice has brought new hope and
meaning.
Hospice is a specialized health care
program that emphasizes the management of pain and other symptoms.
|
The mission
of Journeys Hospice is to provide comprehensive
coordinated
care to individuals with life-limiting illnesses and to their families
throughout the greater Boise area of the Treasure Valley.
It is the role of Hospice to maintain the patient's
dignity, serve
their needs emotionally, physically, and spiritually to the highest
degree possible
and feasible, and to lend both moral and physical support to the
family.
Including Hospice
care in the dying process is to be
assured of having strong and caring support. |  |
 | Because the care needs of a dying
patient include more than the medical treatment of a disease, a team
approach is taken in Hospice care.
Each team member
has a role to play to address the physical, emotional, and spirital
needs of patients and their families and care givers.
The
Journeys team consists of nurses, bath aides, social workers,
chaplains,
bereavement care, volunteers, and a medical director.
