Support and Comfort Without Leaving Home

For many families in Dolan Springs, home is where a loved one feels safest, most settled, and most like themselves. Hospice care can often be brought to that familiar setting, whether the patient lives in a private residence, assisted living community, adult care home, or nursing facility.

Living Waters coordinates care around the patient’s individual needs, helping families manage symptoms, arrange necessary equipment and medications, and understand what to expect as those needs change. The goal is to provide comfort and dependable support without adding more disruption to an already difficult time.

Yes. Living Waters Hospice serves patients and families in Dolan Springs, bringing coordinated hospice care to private homes and other residential care settings. Our Golden Valley team works with each family to understand the patient’s needs and develop a plan focused on comfort, dignity, and quality of life.

Yes. Hospice care supports the family as well as the patient. Our team can explain changes you may notice, answer questions about medications and comfort measures, and show caregivers how to assist their loved one safely.

Families can also receive practical guidance, emotional support, social work services, and spiritual care. You remain an important part of your loved one’s care, but you do not have to carry every responsibility alone.

Yes. Living in a rural community does not mean your family has to manage hospice care alone. Our team travels to patients in Dolan Springs so nursing care, personal care assistance, social work support, spiritual care, and caregiver guidance can be provided where your loved one lives.

Yes. Hospice care includes access to on-call nursing and medical support 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Living Waters will make sure your family knows which number to call when symptoms change, questions arise, or you need guidance outside regular office hours.

There is no single visit schedule that applies to every patient. The frequency and type of visits are based on your loved one’s condition, symptoms, goals, and the needs of the family.

Visits may come from nurses, hospice aides, social workers, chaplains, or other members of the care team, so multiple visits per week is typical. The plan can be adjusted when your loved one’s needs change or additional support becomes necessary.

You do not need to know for certain before reaching out. Many families call because a loved one’s symptoms are becoming harder to manage, care needs are increasing, or repeated appointments and hospital visits are becoming exhausting.

Living Waters can listen to what your family has been experiencing, answer your questions, and help determine whether a hospice assessment may be appropriate. Asking for information does not commit your family to beginning care.

Call Living Waters as soon as you notice a concerning change. A hospice nurse can talk through what is happening, provide guidance, and determine whether medication changes, an additional visit, or another form of support may be needed.

Yes. You can contact Living Waters directly to discuss your concerns and learn more about hospice care.

A physician must ultimately certify that the patient meets hospice eligibility requirements, but your family does not need to wait for a formal referral before asking questions. If hospice appears appropriate, our team can help coordinate the next steps with the patient’s healthcare providers, or our staff physician can perform a hospice assessment.

Yes. Medications, supplies, and medical equipment related to the patient’s hospice diagnosis and comfort needs can be arranged as part of the plan of care.

Depending on the patient’s needs, this may include oxygen, a hospital bed, a wheelchair, a bedside commode, or other equipment that supports safety and comfort. The Living Waters team coordinates these arrangements and explains what is included.

Medicare Part A generally covers hospice care for eligible patients, including services, medications, supplies, and equipment related to the terminal illness and comfort needs. Medicaid and private insurance may also include hospice benefits.

Coverage varies, and room and board in a residential facility is generally separate from the hospice benefit. Living Waters can review the patient’s coverage and explain any expected costs before care begins.
