AIM Services - Your Alternative to Hospice
Some patients are not ready to abandon active treatment even in late stage illness. To help care for those patients, the Advance Illness Management Program provides home-health based palliative care for patients with advanced chronic illness.
The Advanced Illness Management Team increases the quality of life of patients and their families. The AIM Team is comprised of nurses, aides, social workers and chaplains. Consults are available through Board Certified Palliative Care Physicians. If you or someone you know can benefit from our services, please call and ask for the AIM representative nearest you.
The AIM Team allows for the best of both worlds; curative and life-extending treatments with the comfort, peace and dignity of palliative care.
Specific Home Services May Include Any Of The Following:
- Palliative Home Health Services
- Traditional Home Health Services
- Palliative Hospice Services
As caregivers, the relationship many of us develop with our patients and families is strong. To enhance the patient’s comfort and peace of mind, the AIM Team may transition WITH the patient into palliative care services provided through St. Joseph Hospice and Palliative Care. If the treatment is successful and the patient’s condition improves, the patient may desire to transition back into traditional home health services provided by Stat Home Health.
