    Currently, Hillsboro County has no Medicare Certified Hospice care provider. The only provider of hospice services is Valley Hospice, Inc., in Middleboro, and they mostly provide emotional support to adult cancer patients and their families.

    It is not a place to die, it is a place to receive care and treatments in order to regain good health. According to the National Hospice and palliative care organization, “Hospice focuses on caring, not curing and in most cases care is provided in the patient's home.” Hospice care are not only given to patients of advanced age but also to patients of any ages who are suffering from terminal illnesses. A terminal illness is an illness that cannot be cured which can eventually result to death within a short period of time. Being on hospice care does not mean the patient is certainly going to die. Some patients recover and are taken off of hospice care. The National Hospice and palliative care organization states that hospice care “is covered under Medicare, Medicaid, most private insurance plans, HMOs, and other managed care organizations.” A care plan is put in place depending on the patients conditions. The care team consists of nurses, specialized doctors in respect to the type of illness the patient is suffering from, home health aides or certified nurse assistants, social workers, counselors, therapists and more. These care services are available during 24 hours when needed. The hospice care team is responsible for teaching the family medical techniques on how to take care of the patient. They do so because they want to help family members be involved or be part of their loved ones care: this will give them the opportunity bond before the patient dies. The hospice care team also help cope with pain and symptoms, they also provide drugs and supplies to ease…
