What to Expect From Our Pain and Symptoms Management

At Ameri Hospice, our pain and symptom management program is rooted in compassion, clinical excellence, and a deep respect for the comfort and dignity of each patient. Upon admission, a comprehensive assessment is conducted by our interdisciplinary team to understand the patient’s physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. We then develop an individualized care plan under the guidance of the patient’s physician or our Medical Director. Patients can expect timely interventions for pain, breathlessness, nausea, fatigue, and other distressing symptoms, along with emotional and psychological support.

Our team, which may include nurses, physicians, social workers, chaplains, and aides, ensures regular monitoring and adjustments to care as conditions change. Medications and therapies are administered carefully to relieve discomfort while honoring the patient’s goals and preferences. Families are supported throughout the process, with 24/7 access to guidance and assistance.
