Our routine care provides regularly scheduled visits from our licensed nursing team to manage symptoms and ensure optimal comfort. This includes medication management and an ongoing assessment of your loved one's needs. Our nurses develop personalized care plans that honor individual preferences while maintaining clinical standards, with 24/7 availability between visits.
During periods of acute symptom management or medical crisis, we provide intensive, continuous care with immediate expert attention. This specialized level requires clinical approval from the Medical Director and our Nursing Team, following Medicare guidelines. Continuous care involves 8-24 hours per day of dedicated nursing presence, allowing patients to remain in their preferred environment while receiving hospital-level monitoring.
We recognize that caring for a loved one can be demanding for family caregivers. Our respite care provides temporary relief through short-term placement in a skilled nursing facility with 24-hour nursing support. This Medicare-approved service, available for up to five days, allows family members to rest while knowing their loved one receives professional, compassionate care throughout the hospice journey.
When medical symptoms become too complex to manage safely at home, our general inpatient care provides hospital-based hospice services. This addresses situations where patients are medically unstable and require intensive symptom management outside a hospital environment. Limited to five days per Medicare guidelines, this service ensures acute medical needs are met while maintaining the hospice philosophy of comfort-focused care.
At Amor Hospice Care, we bring compassionate, expert care directly to wherever you’re most comfortable:
The comfort and familiarity of home provide an irreplaceable setting for end-of-life care, which is why most of our patients choose to remain in their personal residence. In your home environment, loved ones can maintain a constant bedside presence, participating actively in care decisions and creating meaningful moments together. Our team adapts services to your home's unique characteristics, working with family members and private caregivers.
Small group homes provide an intimate, family-like atmosphere that many families find appealing. These residential care homes typically house patients with dedicated caregivers available 24/7, ensuring personalized attention and lower patient-to-caregiver ratios. Often private pay or covered by long-term care insurance, these settings offer a middle ground between home care and larger facilities while promoting comfort with professional oversight.
For families requiring around-the-clock professional nursing support, skilled nursing facilities offer a structured environment where our hospice team collaborates with facility staff to deliver comprehensive care. These partnerships ensure patients receive specialized hospice services and 24-hour nursing availability, for a maximum of five days on Medicare. We maintain contracts with multiple facilities throughout the Houston area, allowing continuous service during transitions to this care level.
Assisted living facilities offer a unique combination of independence and support, featuring private apartments with on-site caregivers, resident physicians, and nursing staff for routine health needs. These communities provide hotel-like amenities, recreational activities, and social engagement while facilitating smooth transitions to appropriate care levels as needs change. For patients valuing autonomy while receiving hospice services, these facilities balance comfort with comprehensive care coordination.
When your physician recommends hospice care, you'll receive information about available programs and providers to help make an informed decision. Once you choose Amor Hospice Care as your partner, simply notify your primary care physician and provide our contact information. Your PCP will send the hospice order with clinical documentation and necessary laboratory results. Upon receiving these materials, our team immediately coordinates all admission arrangements for a smooth transition.
Some patients may not have an established primary care relationship or may be unable to visit their physician due to mobility limitations. We offer a self-referral option that empowers patients and families to elect hospice care independently. Our experienced Nurse Practitioners conduct comprehensive home evaluations, assessing hospice appropriateness according to clinical guidelines. When our NP determines a patient meets qualifications, they provide necessary medical orders to initiate services and begin providing compassionate care.
