Rainbow Hospice Care: Hospice Care at Home

Being at home might be where your loved one feels the most at peace. Being at home is where your loved one finds the greatest peace. Rainbow Community Care brings hospice support directly to you. Our in-home hospice services offer comfort, dignity, and expert care for individuals with life-limiting illnesses, right where your loved one feels most comfortable.

What Does Hospice at Home Include?

Our in-home hospice services are built around your loved one’s goals and comfort. Care is provided by a team of professionals who visit regularly and remain on call 24/7. Services include:

  • Nursing care and case management
    Coordinates all phases of care, as per the physician’s orders. They assess and monitor the patient’s condition and physical status and provide care for pain and symptom management. They are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
  • Certified nursing assistants (CNAs)
    CNAs help with bathing, grooming, and personal care to preserve dignity and comfort.
  • Medical equipment and supplies
    Everything from hospital beds to wound care supplies is delivered to the home.
  • Social work support
    Offers education and counseling for both the patient and their family, and can help with financial and legal concerns and referrals to community resources.
  • Spiritual care
    Our chaplains offer respectful, inclusive guidance rooted in your loved one’s beliefs and values.
  • Volunteer support
    Trained volunteers offer companionship, run errands, or simply sit quietly during moments that matter.

The Role of Caregivers at Home

Home hospice is a collaborative effort, with family caregivers at the center of it all. We’re here to support you, too. Our Caregiver Resources include:

  • Tips on daily care routines
  • How to recognize changes in condition
  • Support groups to share your journey
  • Educational videos and printable guides
  • Resources for coping with grief and bereavement after losing a loved one

You’ll never have to guess what to do next. Our team is always just a call away.
