Cedar Valley Hospice

01/22/2026

It takes a team to care for our patients and families. When you or your loved one chooses hospice, members of the team care for the whole person - physically, emotionally and spiritually - and those who elect to receive hospice care sooner report a higher quality of life.

Hospice care is provided in the patient's home or a facility. The care team may include:
💚 A nurse to provide pain and symptom management and educate families on how to provide the best care.
💚 A physician to develop the care plan and certify hospice eligibility.
💚 A social worker to provide education, assist with advance directives and find resources to support the whole family.
💚 A home health aide to provide assistance with personal cares and respite for the caregiver.
💚 A music therapist to alleviate anxiety and provide comfort.
💚 A spiritual counselor to provide spiritual guidance, regardless of belief system.
A volunteer to provide companionship to the patient and family.

The new year is a time to reflect, set goals and revisit priorities. We encourage all adults, regardless of age, to complete or review their advance directives this year. ✍️

Advance directives are healthcare decisions you make today that convey your wishes if you're unable to communicate them yourself. There are several different kinds, including a living will and healthcare proxy. 📄

💚 If you've already completed your advance directives, review them for potential changes.
💚 If you need to complete your advance directives, Cedar Valley Hospice can help. Call 319.272.2002 to set up an appointment.
