Pioneering inpatient hospice services in the state, our inpatient centers serve terminally-ill patients who have physical symptoms that cannot be managed in other settings.
Our inpatient services are located at St. Vincent Infirmary Medical Center in Little Rock; St. Joseph's Mercy Health Center in Hot Springs; and the Arkansas Hospice River Valley Home, our first free-standing inpatient facility, in Russellville.
We maintain staffing ratios that exceed hospital standards with frequent physician visits in addition to the entire team of hospice nursing, pharmacy, social, spiritual and volunteer services.
Services Provided:
- Physician-directed care
- Registered nurse on site 24 hours a day
- Personal care 24 hours a day
- Social worker services for patient and family
- Chaplain and spiritual assistance
- Volunteer support
- Diagnosis-related medications
- Medical equipment and supplies
- Bereavement services
Hospice services are covered by Medicare or Medicaid, private insurance, private pay or charitable care. This care is provided to all in need of our services regardless of age, sex, race, creed, marital status, sexual preference, color, national origin, religion, citizenship status, veteran status, illness, handicap, disability or ability to pay.
It is possible that your loved one will improve, resulting in discharge from hospice services. Or, you may decide to stop hospice care because you believe aggressive, curative care is needed. The hospice services can easily be resumed if needed at a later time.
