Senator Coons visited with Delaware Hospice leadership at the Milford Center location to discuss the effect of recent healthcare reforms on Delawareans. The invitation was intended to encourage dialogue, at the federal level, about maintaining access to quality end-of-life care.
Delaware Hospice President and CEO Susan Lloyd, BSN, RN was positive about Senator Coon’s interest in assuring that the Delaware community continues to have access to these high quality healthcare services.
“Knowing firsthand the impact Delaware Hospice can have on a loved one’s life, I understand the importance of these types of conversations we had today,” said Senator Coons. “I encourage others to talk with their loved ones about their healthcare options.”
Delaware Hospice Milford Center is a 24-hour facility which provides specialized hospice care and caregiver education to patients and their families. Those who require short terms stays are given the tools they need to make a smooth transition whether it be from the hospital to the home, or to another long-term care facility. The center also offers its patients top-quality services with a home-like feel, including access to family areas like a living area, kitchen, a playroom for children, and a peaceful community garden.
Delaware Hospice has provided Delawareans with quality health and hospice care since 1982, and it remains the only licensed, community-centered, nonprofit hospice providing care to Delaware.
