Specialties
Hospice is a medical and philosophical concept of care for those who have life limiting illnesses. When a cure is no longer possible, or aggressive treatment no longer desired, Bethany Hospice will help the patient and their family attain the highest possible quality of life. Bethany can provide hospice care wherever the patient resides, whether it is a personal residence, nursing home or assisted living facility. Our service area includes Allegheny County and the surrounding counties - Beaver, Butler, Washington, and Westmoreland counties. The interdisciplinary hospice team, with input from the patient and families, develops a personalized plan of care to meet the needs of each individual patient and family. Some of these items may include: medications, medical equipment and supplies, home health aides, nursing, counseling, spiritual support, volunteer services, bereavement support, and 24-hour on call assistance.
