Burt-Washington Home Health and Hospice

At Burt-Washington Home Health and Hospice, a part of Memorial Community Hospital and Health System, we know that when you or one of your loved ones is ill or injured, there's no place you'd rather be than in your home. Because we understand these feelings, our caring staff of professionals works hard to make it possible.

Home Health Care is available to anyone of any age or diagnosis. However, the patient's physician must authorize the service. We see patients in all stages of illness - from the young adult to the senior citizen. Our goal is to help patients regain function and resume prior activities.

Services offered include: skilled nursing, physical, occupational and speech therapy, medical social services, home health aides to assist with personal care needs.

Hospice Services

Burt-Washington Hospice provides for the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of patients and families in the final stages of an incurable illness. The focus of the program is on comfort, controlling symptoms and quality of life, rather than aggressive disease management.

We offer a full range of services, including nursing care, counseling, medications, assistance in obtaining equipment and much more. Trained volunteers play an integral role in care that is given to both patients and their families as they face end-of-life issues.
