SUNCOAST HOSPICE PATIENT AND FAMILY CARE TEAMS PROVIDE CARE AND SERVICES WHEREVER PATIENTS RESIDE, WHETHER THAT BE IN PRIVATE HOMES, APARTMENTS, NURSING HOMES AND ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES (ALF), HOSPITALS, SUNCOAST'S CARE CENTERS OR IN ANY OTHER SETTING. ONCE PAIN AND SYMPTOMS ARE ADDRESSED, TEAMS OFFER NUMEROUS OTHER OPTIONS, VISITS FROM CHAPLAINS AND SOCIAL WORKERS, VOLUNTEER ASSISTANCE, PALLIATIVE THERAPIES TO INCLUDE SUCH CHOICES AS MASSAGE, PET VISITS, MUSIC, REIKI, HUMOR AND OTHERS. RESPECT FOR INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY RITUALS REGARDING CULTURAL, RELIGIOUS AND ETHNIC BACKGROUNDS IS A MAINSTAY OF SUNCOAST HOSPICE CARE. FOREMOST IN EACH SUNCOAST HOSPICE TEAM'S APPROACH IS THE DESIRE TO ENSURE THAT NO ONE IN THEIR CARE DIES ALONE, IN FEAR OR IN PAIN. THOSE WHO CONTACT SUNCOAST HOSPICE FOR INFORMATION, AS WELL AS PATIENTS AND FAMILIES, RECEIVE ASSISTANCE IN SORTING OUT THE MISSIONS AND ACCESSIBILITY OF OTHER COMMUNITY PROGRAMS. SUNCOAST HOSPICE PATIENT AND CARE TEAMS ARE THERE FOR THOSE WE SERVE AT SOME OF LIFE'S MOST CHALLENGING, HEARTBREAKING TIMES.
