VITAS Advantage: Hospice Care in Long-Term Care Facilities

All hospices provide core services, our differentiators are what set us apart. Our objective is to provide you with the content tailored to your needs. Find the VITAS Advantage that’s right for you and your patients.

24/7/365 Clinical Care Support for Senior Living Communities

Patients' symptoms do not adhere to a 9-to-5 schedule, and neither does our team.

Complex Modalities for Patients in Long-Term Care Facilities

If your resident’s symptoms are difficult to control, their goals of care may seem like unattainable wishes.

High-Acuity Care for Patients in Long-Term Care Facilities

If your resident is coping with aggressive symptoms or unmanaged pain, makes frequent visits to the ED or has been readmitted to the hospital, VITAS can help.

Open Formulary for Long-Term Care Residents

While adjustments will occur as part of a patient's shift from curative care to hospice, they don't have to give up all treatments.

Advanced Illness Specialists for Long-Term Care Facilities

Our experts support advance care planning and patient-centric end-of-life care for your community’s residents and their families.
