The staff at High Pointe House includes highly trained experts: physicians board-certified in hospice care, along with specially trained nurses, social workers, chaplains, aides and volunteers. Together, this team creates individualized care plans tailored to each person, including comprehensive pain management and relief of symptoms related to advanced illness.
We offer different levels of care to meet each individual’s needs and provide families with support and peace of mind. Whether a loved one requires more intensive medical attention, short-term relief for caregivers, or care that can’t be managed at home, our team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide comfort, dignity and expert support.
- General inpatient care: For individuals requiring acute medical and nursing support to manage pain and other symptoms or receive medications only provided in a hospital, long-term care facility or licensed hospice residence. Medicare and private insurance typically cover this level of care.
- Routine care: For individuals unable to receive hospice care at home for non-medical reasons. Medicare and insurance usually cover medical costs related to the terminal illness, while the individual or family assumes responsibility for applicable room and board fees.
- Respite care: Short-term care offered under routine care for up to five days, giving primary caregivers a break to rest or attend important events. This service allows families to have peace of mind knowing their loved one is supported in a safe, comfortable environment.
