Hospice of the Valley

The arizona supportive care (azsc) program is a medical management model that offers coordination of care to late-stage chronically ill patients struggling with daily living and disease management. The azsc team is comprised of physicians, nurses, social workers, and home care aides who provide home visits and who work in coordination with patients' community physicians. Additional services include disease medication, caregiver education, hospital-to-home transition support, symptom management consultation and 24/7 phone support. The outreach program provides psycho-social in-home services to patients and the families of patients with chronic illness who are not yet receiving hospice services. The supportive care for dementia program assists families in navigating the challenges of the dementia journey and shares its expertise with health professionals and first responders.
