Hospice Services
Loving care at home when you need it most.
Pointe Coupee Hospice has been in operation since 2001 and offers our most experienced nursing team for pain management and symptom control. Hospice offers a team approach to manage a patient’s medical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Care is patient and family centered to meet individual needs. Our hospice team believes that every person has a right to dignified and pain-free end-of-life. We work closely with our hospice physician, Dr. Ashley Bordelon, as well as your primary care or specialty physician to manage symptoms. Medical social work, chaplain, and volunteer services are hospice care components that help to support patients and families emotionally, spiritually, and socially. Hospice care can also include many of the other home health services that you are familiar with such as physical, speech & occupational therapy.
Hospice care is most often provided where the patient lives, whether in their own home, the home of a family member, a nursing home or assisted living facility. Inpatient hospice care in the hospital can also be provided if most appropriate.
Our team provides comforting and compassionate care to patients and their families with a goal of enhancing quality of life at a time when every moment shared and memory made is most precious.
Pointe Coupee Hospice has been honored as a 2021 Hospice CAHPS Honors Elite recipient, a prestigious accolade that acknowledges hospice agencies for their consistent delivery of high-quality care, as perceived by patients themselves. We take great pride in serving our community with dedication and compassion.
