About Omega Hospice Care
Omega Hospice Care agency’s mission is to participate as an active part of the community, by delivering value driven high quality compassionate care. In addition, continuously improve hospice services to meet the needs of our patients. The hospice approach to care is holistic and includes emotional, spiritual, and practical support in addition to medical care. These services are provided by an interdisciplinary team of experts: physicians, nurses, pharmacists, social workers, chaplains, homemakers and specially trained volunteers. The team works with the individual’s community doctors and other providers.
OUR APPROACH
A Family Centered Approach OHC Pediatric Comfort Care supports the child as well as the entire family. We provide hands-on training and education for family members of caregivers. Counseling and emotional support are also offered to the family, including other children. OHC Pediatric Comfort Care provides developmentally appropriate hospice care to infants, children and adolescents with life-limiting conditions. Our pediatric doctors and nurses understand the difference between children and adults. Children respond differently to illness and treatment, as well as medications. Therefore, a unique care plan is developed for each child.
