Owens: We are a home hospice provider and take care of patients wherever they call home, whether it’s with family or in their own home or at a skilled nursing, memory care or assistedliving facility. We have patients at roughly 15 different facilities in Denver and provide the full gamut of hospice care to people in their homes.
So for example, you know, the director of the assistedliving facility could be the person who knows the patient the best. Were you saying you started off by talking about somebody who might have conflicts of interest, like the person who runs the assistedliving facility or something like that.

His wife suffers from advanced dementia which has progressed over several years, and they both live in a senior assistedliving community. Even we chaplains are susceptible to this. Yesterday I met with the husband (let’s call him “Ken”) of one of our patients for a counseling session.
Hospice care is generally available to individuals diagnosed with a terminal illness and a prognosis of six months or less to live, as certified by a physician. It is not restricted by age, and patients can receive hospice care in various settings, including their own homes, assistedliving facilities, or hospice centers.
Most patients do not view this as giving up, but as coming to peace with their prognosis and deciding to live the best possible life for the time that remains. These professionals are available to patients around-the-clock, but they are not necessarily staffed at a patient’s home or care facility twenty-four hours a day.
Hospital residential care assistedliving, nursing facilities resident. You need to, and, and to say, well, you know, you can talk to the social worker anytime or you can talk to our chaplain anytime.
