How can Hospice Teams Help with At-home Pain Management?

At Amara Hospice Care, we understand that managing pain is a top priority for families in Saginaw and the Greater Detroit area. Our multidisciplinary team works collaboratively to ensure your loved one remains comfortable, providing The Amara Difference through a mission of grace, mercy, and kindness.

We support at-home pain management through several integrated strategies:

• Individualized Care Plans: We develop a goal-driven, culturally sensitive plan of care tailored to your loved one’s specific needs and values. These plans are regularly reviewed and modified as needs evolve.
• Expert Nursing and Medication Management: Our registered nurses and physicians oversee scheduled doses and specific protocols for managing breakthrough pain or pain crises.
• 24/7 On-Call Support: You are never alone. Our on-call nurses are available 24/7, every day of the year, to assess new symptoms or provide immediate guidance during a pain crisis, often helping to avoid unnecessary emergency room visits.
• Non-Drug Comfort Measures: To treat the whole person—body and soul—we offer alternative therapies including Massage Therapy to release physical tension and Music Therapy to ease anxiety and promote a state of Amara of mind.
• Comprehensive Professional Team: Beyond nursing, our hospice aides, social workers, and therapists provide holistic support to address the physical, emotional, and psycho-social aspects of pain.

Please note: Eligibility for hospice must be determined by a physician through a physician certification. Because care is individualized, outcomes may vary, and you should always consult a healthcare professional for clinical decisions.
