Gentiva

Gentiva Hospice provides compassionate hospice care focused on comfort, dignity, and quality of life for people with life-limiting illnesses and the families who support them. Care is tailored to each patient and is often delivered at home, while also being available in a relative’s or friend’s home, an assisted living facility, or a nursing home. Gentiva offers 24/7 support, including access to a nurse by phone, and helps patients and families find care close to home.

Services include pain and symptom management guided by an individualized care plan, emotional support, spiritual care, and short-term respite for family caregivers. The organization also provides bereavement support through counselors and social workers for up to 13 months after a loved one’s death. Care teams may include physicians, nurses, hospice aides, chaplains, social workers, and volunteers, addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Gentiva’s broader service offerings also include palliative care, home health care, and specialty comfort-care programs for conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and dementia.
