What can I do after MVHPC?
What if we change our mind and decide to pursue aggressive or preventive treatment?
No problem, we understand. At any point in time, you are welcome to discharge from Hospice to pursue aggressive or preventive treatment or therapy. Now that we offer Palliative Care for pain & symptom management in the home, we will offer you to transfer to the Palliative Care service line to continue to coordinate your care and provide an added layer of support. If at some point you decide to return to the Hospice program, we will still be here for a smooth transition.
When the patient passes away, does our connection to MVHPC for family support end?
We’re with you for the long haul – as long as you need us. MVHPC will follow the family or loved ones for just over a year after the patient passes. After that, we continue to offer support groups and other bereavement resources for those who benefit from a network. And these services are always free of charge.
