Home Health and Hospice

Our Hospice program is for patients that need respite and end of life care. Hospice care is appropriate when the focus of care is the comfort and no longer a cure. Hospice emphasizes quality, rather than a length of life. Hospice neither hastens nor postpones death; it affirms life and regards dying as a natural process. The hospice program stresses human values that go beyond the physical needs of the patient. Hospice ensures that patients spend their final days with dignity and comfort.

Minidoka Home Health & Hospice believes that the essential element in quality patient care is highly trained and caring health professionals. Our interdisciplinary team has extensive training and experience in caring for patients with life-limiting illnesses and their families. Under the direction of a physician, the hospice uses unique methods of pain and symptom management that enable the patient to live as fully and comfortably as possible.

At Minidoka Memorial Home Health & Hospice we consider the entire family, not just the patient as “the unit of care”. Patients and families are included in the decision-making process. We offer bereavement to fulfill our promise by providing emotional support to help families and patients deal with any unresolved issues, and assist them in coping with their feelings.
