Van Dyke Hospice and Palliative
Care Center at
Community Medical Center
For more than 20 years, Van Dyke Hospice and Palliative Care Center has been devoted to providing special care to patients and families who are coping with advanced illness. Whether a patient resides at home, in a nursing home, acute care hospital or assisted living facility, our team of highly skilled professionals takes a warm and personal approach to care that fosters trust, respect, and reassurance. Services are also offered on a well-appointed 10-bed unit on the 4th floor of Community Medical Center. The Unit features a meditation room and spacious family room with a kitchenette, television and video games. Five of the Unit’s rooms also offer cots to provide family members with overnight accommodations.
The Unit provides symptom management in an acute care setting for terminally ill patients. Individuals are cared for in a peaceful home-like environment by the hospice interdisciplinary team and may be admitted to the unit directly from their home or from the hospital. Each patient's physician coordinates with the team regarding medical management. Visiting hours are not restricted and families may remain with the patient as desired. The unit features a kitchen facility and a meditation room. When appropriate, staff members coordinate a safe transfer to home hospice care.
