What is Routine Hospice Care?
Routine hospice care is a specialized and comprehensive service offered to individuals with a life-limiting illness, focusing on enhancing their quality of life during their final stages. This type of care is provided by a team of healthcare professionals who work closely with patients and their families to address physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Routine hospice care includes pain and symptom management, assistance with daily activities, emotional support, and counseling. It aims to create a comfortable and comforting environment, allowing patients to spend their remaining time in the presence of loved ones, surrounded by dignity and respect.
How Does Routine Hospice Care Work?
Discovering the journey of routine hospice care involves a carefully structured four-step process. From evaluation and enrollment to the coordination of a dedicated care team, individualized care delivery, and ongoing support, Ennoble Care ensures a comprehensive and comforting experience for patients and their loved ones at every stage.
The process begins with an evaluation by a healthcare professional to determine if the patient meets the criteria for routine hospice care. Once eligibility is established, enrollment takes place, involving the completion of the necessary paperwork and the development of a personalized care plan.
A dedicated team of hospice professionals, including doctors, nurses, social workers, chaplains, and volunteers, collaborate to provide comprehensive care. They work closely with the patient’s primary physician and family to ensure all aspects of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being are addressed.
The care plan is implemented, focusing on pain and symptom management, emotional support, and assistance with daily activities. Skilled nurses and caregivers provide round-the-clock care and monitor the patient’s condition, making adjustments as needed to maintain comfort and dignity.
Hospice care extends beyond the patient’s passing, offering support to grieving families and loved ones. Bereavement services are provided, including counseling, support groups, and resources to navigate the grieving process, ensuring that care continues during the bereavement period.

The home health aides, Betsy, Donna, and Shala were extremely supportive of both of us during this heartbreaking situation.”
“I am truly grateful to everyone at Ennoble Care. They were there for me in my time of need, and they will continue to support me during the year as I grieve the loss of my husband. I am truly grateful for the services that the Ennoble Care team provided. My family and I highly recommend this extraordinary company and will recommend them to all who are in need of hospice care.”
“I just want to publicly say thank you to the employees at Ennoble Care (South Jersey). My mother was placed in hospice January 2021 with the doctors telling me that she would only last one-two months. Well, when you have caring people who love what they do, seniors are able to hold on just a little longer and in my mom’s case…21 months longer. I do not know what I would have done without my aides Jessica and Tiffany, nurse Amy and social worker Charlene. They often commented how well I took care of mom but in reality it takes a village, and I was so Blessed to have Ennoble Care as part of my village. My apologies if I left anyone out BUT you all are fabulous. Mom passed peacefully at home which was her wish on 10/26/22. Thank you again Ennoble Care!”
