+ HospiceCare gives free seminar, finishes renovations
About 30 community members attended an educational seminar last month at Florida Hospital Flagler, during which Rema Cole, administrative director for Florida Hospital HospiceCare, gave a presentation about end-of-life planning, advance directive and truths and myths about hospice care.
Cole stressed the importance of a living will and said preparation allows for an easier, less stressful time at the end of life.
Hospice treatment is used to manage symptoms of chronically or terminally ill patients. It can also be used for “respite care,” or to give caregivers an opportunity to rest and complete errands while having a team look after their loved one.
HospiceCare’s Stuart F. Meyer Hospice House has just completed renovations in its eight-bed facility. The recent upgrades cost approximately $25,000 and included installing new wood flooring and carpeting, as well as updated televisions.
