Community Hospice Of Northeast Florida Inc

Hospice Inpatient Care Inpatient care, if needed, is available in one of our nine inpatient centers, called Centers for Caring. These facilities are available for patients who need pain and symptom management at an acute level unavailable in a homecare setting. The patient stays until his/her condition and symptoms are stabilized, typically three to five days or less. Our facilities offer homelike surroundings with gardens and serene settings. In Fiscal Year 2024, our staff provided 20,318 days of General Inpatient Care (GIP).

Palliative Care Established in 2010, Community Palliative Consultants provides palliative consultative services through twelve local hospitals or wherever the patient calls home. At the request of the patient's attending physician, specially trained physicians, and advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) take the time to understand each individual situation and then recommend options to meet the patient's personal goals of care. Community Palliative Consultants also provides education and training of hospital/facility staff. Palliative care provides an extra layer of support for patients and their families through a multidisciplinary team focused on providing relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress associated with a serious illness or complex chronic condition. In Fiscal Year 2024, our palliative care team saw 9,759 patients.
