Hospice inpatient care is available for Pointe Coupee Hospice patients at Pointe Coupee General Hospital. Inpatient hospice care is at times needed in very specific situations when hospice care in a home setting is not appropriate or effective.
Hospice inpatient care may be required for specific interventions necessary for pain control or acute or chronic symptom management that cannot feasibly be provided in other settings.
Inpatient hospice care is designed to provide short-term inpatient care for expert symptom management, while also providing relief for families.
While every effort is made to keep your loved one at home, sometimes they may require more specialized care in an inpatient setting. Transferring or admitting a hospice patient to the Pointe Coupee Hospice inpatient room at Pointe Coupee General will combine the comforts of home with the benefits of round-the-clock medical supervision and care. The Pointe Coupee Hospice staff can make arrangements to transfer or admit patients to an inpatient room from a patient's home or from other facilities provided the specific criteria for inpatient hospice care is warranted and appropriate.
Depending on the availability of the Pointe Coupee Hospice inpatient hospice room, families will have access to a comfortable, separate room which is attached to the hospice patient's room.
Pointe Coupee Hospice staff members are available for free consults, informational visits and tours of the inpatient room. For more information regarding hospice care please call Pointe Coupee Hospice at (225) 638-5717.
