Sovereign Hospice brings ALL services to your “home” whether that be a residential home, group home, assisted living, nursing home, hospital or inpatient hospice unit. We work with all major nursing homes, hospitals and physician groups. We can adapt to the changing needs of the health care industry with the ultimate goal of taking care of the dying patient and family.
We take pride in communication with our partners and consider ourselves to be an extension of the patient’s care team. We offer individualized plans of care that cater to the unique needs of our patients and their family. In most cases, all services are paid for by insurance but we do have specialized programs that extend our hospice program to uninsured patients as well.
Hospice is neither a death sentence nor giving up all hope. It is a philosophy of care beneficial to persons with no treatment options due to the nature of their illness. Hospice aims to eliminate pain and suffering while allowing nature to run its normal course and does nothing to shorten or prolong life. However, studies show that patients tend to live longer when symptoms are better managed and enjoy better quality of life with their family and loved ones. Hospice can be the life extending treatment of choice for many patients! We are excited to deliver high-quality hospice services in Aubrey, Texas
As seasoned professionals in hospice and palliative care, we understand that death and dying brings a group of expected symptoms such as pain, anxiety, restlessness, shortness of breath, depression, constipation, lack of appetite, increased sleep, fatigue and eventual unresponsiveness. Hospice professionals are trained to anticipate, mitigate and teach family on upcoming signs and symptoms of impending death. The goal is to keep the patient comfortable through the dying process, provide support, relief and closure for the family. Hospice education helps family come into sense with the fact that dying is the natural process to exit this world.
Dying is not a clinical event, it is purely a psycho-social event. Hence our hospice team is inter-disciplinary and comprehensive in nature. We are comprised of physicians, nurses, social workers, hospice aides, chaplains, bereavement coordinators, volunteers, pharmacists, medical supply and durable equipment technicians. This is the highest level of care any person can receive at home and our licensed professionals can do everything that a hospital can do for you as it relates to end of life care, in your home.
