Plan of Care (POC)

Plan of Care

With the help of the patient’s hospice nurse and additional health care providers, this care team will create a specialized plan based on the patient’s needs. This plan can be updated according to new developments.

Your specialized care plan may include:

• Creating a routine to follow.
• Creating goals to achieve.
• Medical appointment scheduling.
• Regular visits or calls by your Hospice care team.
• Interventions on managing pain and symptoms.
• Activities to stimulate the mind and/or body.
• Medical supplies and appliances if needed (e.g., hospital bed, wheelchair, sanitizing wipes).
• A personal safety plan.
• A nutrition plan.
