Living Hope Hospice

Physician Services

At Living Hope Hospice, our physician services are the cornerstone of the compassionate, personalized care we provide to every patient. Led by our experienced Medical Director, our team works closely with your primary care physician and other healthcare professionals to design a care plan that is uniquely tailored to your specific medical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Comprehensive Medical Oversight

Our Medical Director holds the overall responsibility for the medical care of every patient under our hospice program. This includes overseeing our interdisciplinary team, monitoring progress, and adjusting care plans as needed to ensure maximum comfort and dignity. The physician also develops protocols for pain and symptom management—ensuring that each patient receives effective, compassionate relief throughout their hospice journey.

Personalized Coordination with Your Doctor

We believe continuity of care is vital, which is why our physicians coordinate directly with your existing medical team. Whether you’re transitioning from a hospital or another care provider, we ensure a smooth, respectful process that prioritizes your preferences and goals.

Private Consultations for Families

Families are not alone in navigating end-of-life care decisions. We offer private consultations to help patients and loved ones better understand hospice options, services covered by Medicare, and how hospice can enhance comfort while honoring the patient’s wishes. These conversations are guided with sensitivity, clarity, and a deep commitment to your peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

The different types of care homes are residential homes, nursing homes, and specialist care homes, such as dementia care homes. Other types of residential care include assisted living and retirement villages. 

The main difference between a residential home and a nursing home is that a nursing home has a qualified nurse on-site 24-hours a day to provide necessary medical care. This means nursing homes can provide a higher level of care. 

If you or a loved one have moved into a care home but feel that you struggle to settle in, it is not the right fit or the location stops family from visiting regularly, you can change care homes. Make sure that you have read the terms of your contract to avoid any issues.

Depending on your financial circumstances and your care needs, you may be able to receive help with paying your care costs. If you have capital below a certain amount, which varies between countries in the UK, your local authority will contribute towards your fees. The NHS may cover your nursing care fees in some circumstances and there are a few benefits you can claim while living in a care home.
