Outpatient care is provided wherever the patient calls home—in a house, apartment, assisted living, or nursing facility. We meet you, wherever you are most comfortable. Inpatient care is typically available for short- term symptom management. If your care needs become too complicated and require a higher level of attention from nurses, we can provide care at our Hospice Home. You can also come for brief stabilization stay to offer your family the tools to be successful at home. Inpatient Respite Care allows you monthly short stays at the hospice home–at no cost– in order for your family to have a temporary caregiving break. Crisis Care provides extended in-home nursing care for brief periods of acute pain or symptom management. Transitions is a free program for seriously ill individuals, who may still be seeking curative treatment. Transitions offers you a case manager to help connect you to resources in the community. Additionally, volunteers offer companionship, errands, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and short respite breaks. Our goal is to provide that extra support to keep you as independent as possible. Community Respite Care provides temporary breaks to families caring for dependent, chronically ill, or disabled adults. We offer personalized care through an excellent staff to guest ratio in our facility. Your loved one does not need to be on hospice to take advantage of this service! Medications, supplies, and equipment related to the hospice diagnosis are provided. Payor sources can include Medicare, Medicaid, and almost any private insurance carrier. Patients are never denied service due to their lack of ability to pay. This should not be a concern when considering end-of-life care. Central Wyoming Hospice & Transitions 319 S.
