A Dream Come True!
 |
 |
After several years of dreaming, planning, and fund-raising, our dream of a residential facility for patients is a reality. This five-bedroom house is for patients who have no one available to care for them in their own home, or for those who require more care than their loved ones can give.
Patients live their final days with round-the-clock care and support by the Prairie Home Hospice team. It is a home with a living room, kitchen, dining area and five individual bedrooms. The patient and family remain in control of their treatment and daily activities to the extent they are able to do so. Family can visit their loved one and help in their care.
The house has a nurse's station for record keeping and medication, laundry facilities, supply area, and a special shower and bathing room. Each bedroom is spacious enough to accommodate special medical equipment, has a large window, a half bathroom, hospital bed, recliner, closet and dresser.
There is a daily room and board fee for residents of the Hospice House; however, no one will be denied admission due to lack of funds. To assure this, ongoing support of the Hospice House will always be needed.

"A hospice home provides continuity of care by hospice staff and
family members in a quiet and peaceful place, thus enhancing the physical,
emotional and spiritual needs of hospice patients and family members."

than a "home" providing 24 hour compassionate care." Barb Moore,
