Nightingale Hospice Announces new location
May 25, 2013 (Ft. Wayne, IN) -- Dr. Dev Brar, president of Nightingale Home Healthcare and Hospice of Carmel, Indiana, has announced the Ft. Wayne Hospice office will be moving to a new address, 6347 Constitution Drive, Fort Wayne, IN 46804, effective May 30. The former location was 4011 West Jefferson Blvd. The phone number remains unchanged and services can be obtained by calling 1-866-334-7777.
Dr. Anuradha Kollipara, MD, board certified in Internal Medicine serves as Medical director for Nightingale Hospice. She has 23 years in medical practice and also serves with the Park View Hospital in Ft. Wayne.
Brar commented, "Our Hospice exists to provide support and care for persons in the last phases of incurable disease so that they might live as fully and comfortably as possible. We recognize dying as a normal process whether or not from disease, and do not hasten nor postpone death. Hospice exists in the hope and belief that, through appropriate care and the promotion of a caring community sensitive to their needs, patients and families may be free to attain a degree of both quality and comfort."
Hospice care is built on the combination of knowledge and skill of an interdisciplinary team of professionals including: the patient's physician, case managers, nursing staff, home health aide, social workers, chaplains, and volunteers.
Hospice care can be given regardless of where you live—in a home setting, long-term care center, assisted living and independent living community, or hospital. A few benefits to hospice care include:
- Financial assistance with medications
- The freedom and comfort to remain at home with medical supervision and assistance
- Counseling, education and bereavement for caregivers, family, and friends
- RN on call 24 x7
- Medications associated with a patient's illness
- Equipment—hospital bed, wheelchair, walker
- Needed medical supplies
- Specialized education and support for the patient, and his/her family.
A history of the company along with a full description of all services is easily accessible at www.homecareforyou.com and www.hospiceforyou.com. Also, when calling the Nightingale Home Healthcare and Hospice offices, callers will not be directed by a barrage of pushbuttons, but will be greeted by a friendly human voice who will offer assistance immediately—no voice prompts. For further information, please call toll free 866-334-7777 at any time.
