They ensure that professional nursing care is never more than a phone call away.
What types of situations can on-call nurses assist with?
On-call nurses can assist with a wide range of situations, including sudden increases in pain or discomfort, new or worsening symptoms like shortness of breath or anxiety, questions about medications, concerns about a patient’s change in condition or any other urgent medical or emotional issue that arises unexpectedly.
How quickly can on-call nurses respond to emergencies?
We prioritize prompt assistance. When you call, you will speak with a team member who can assess the situation immediately. If a visit is needed, the on-call nurse will be dispatched to provide timely support. Our goal is to address your concerns and provide the necessary care as quickly as possible.
Are on-call services available for palliative care patients?
Yes, our on-call services are available to both hospice and palliative care patients. We understand that serious illness requires responsive support, regardless of the stage of care, and our team is prepared to assist whenever a need arises.
