The Hospice houses patients in the final stage of oncological disease as well as some non-oncological cases for which evaluation of the A.U.S.L. Organization Home Assistance Head and of a doctor of the team is requested.

This service facilitates the contact between patients / family and hospice before the actual entrance and, therefore, a gradual approach to our reality. When waiting times are prolonged, then there is the possibility of starting to offer an informative and emotional support, useful to lay some groundwork for the subsequent taking into care and therapeutic alliance.
The service continuity service answers the numbers 0522/295275 – 338/8876582.
Patients can be included in the list by:
Admittance procedure:

The Service is accredited by the Health Agency of Emilia Romagna (Det.ne n. 19278 del 20.11.2018).
The continuous improvement in the quality of our service is guaranteed not only by the high professional standards of the operators, but also by a thorough development of the internal Quality System, according to regional indications.
The main objective of the team’s work is the achievement of the best quality of life, as allowed by the disease. For this purpose the team periodically meets to evaluate the achievement of this goal. Furthermore, patients are encouraged to fill in a questionnaire evaluating the perceived quality of life (POS – Palliative Care Outcome Scale).
Comfort and personalized care for patients and families
Particular attention is paid to some key moments:
On reception and within 48 hours after arrival the patient is informed about the running of the House and as much information as possible is collected to draw a personal care plan. A week since admission and approximately twenty days later there will be a meeting with members of the family and the multidisciplinary team of the House (including the doctor in charge of treatment, nurse and psychologist) for an overall evaluation of care problems (each operator is in any case bound to listen and counsel patient and family).
On discharge all services of the local network are activated in order to ensure care continuity. A care continuity report with the most relevant clinical issues is drawn up for the medical general practitioner and/or the home nursing service. If faced with a mourning process, the family can ask the team of psychologists for individual meetings as a support.
