Hospice Care
Hospice care includes skilled professional nurses who are specifically trained in pain management, symptom control, and psychosocial support related to end of life issues. Dr Alex Bonica, from the Cheshire Medical Center, is the Medical Director for the program. There are also nurses aides, social workers, chaplains and physical therapists, as needed, to provide a holistic approach to care. On-call services are available as well as volunteer support services so the patient and family do not feel alone during this emotional time. A hospice room at The Cheshire Medical Center is also available, if a brief hospitalization is necessary.
