Holyoke VNA & Hospice Life Care

The Holyoke Visiting Nurse Association, Inc., a non-profit 501 (c)(3) agency, was founded in 1905.

The Holyoke Visiting Nurse Association, Inc., a non-profit 501 (c)(3) agency, was founded in 1905 as the District Nurse Service in Holyoke. The Holyoke VNA started with one nurse making thousands of visits in hundreds of patients homes. Since that time, we have grown in number and seen many changes, not only in the communities we serve, but in medicine and technology as well. The Holyoke VNA is dedicated to serving Hampden and Hampshire counties. Commitment to quality patient care has been our focus from the beginning. Through our varied programs and services, we meet this commitment to bring the best in home care available to our community. Programs and Services

Hospice Life Care provides compassionate care to terminally ill patients throughout the Pioneer Valley. Hospice's holistic approach to care seeks to make patients as comfortable as possible, and to manage symptoms so that their last days may be spent with dignity and quality. Hospice services are provided at home, assisted living, or in long term care facilities. Hospice addresses not only the physical dimensions of terminal illness, but also the practical, emotional and spiritual. As part of its guiding philosophy, hospice pays special attention to the needs of family members as they make this difficult journey. Hospice Life Care Provides:

•A team of professionals:
- Medical Director
- Registered Nurses
- Social Workers
- Dietician
- Chaplain
- Volunteer Coordinator

•Increased emotional and practical support for the patient and family
•24-hour/seven day availability for problems and emergencies
•Additional help with errands, as well as companionship by trained, compassionate volunteers
•Home Health Aides
•Payment for medication and equipment related to the terminal illness
•Specialized support such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy
•Thirteen (13) months bereavement support

How Hospice Works:
Hospice life Care serves patients and families throughout the Pioneer Valley. The typical patient:

•Has an estimated life expectancy of six months or less; if the disease runs its normal progression
•Is aware of the prognosis and consents to the goals of hospice care, and;
•Has a primary care physician who works with Hospice or delegates care to the Hospice Medical Director

Who Pays for Hospice Care?
•Medicare
•Medicaid
•Private Insurance

Holyoke VNA staff thoroughly research eligibility for payment for each patient. Let Us Know If We Can Help
Hospice referrals can be made by anyone. For example:

•Family, patient him/herself, family friends
•Physicians
•Clergy
•Case Managers
•Or other health care professionals
