In-Home Hospice Care
A part of Parmenter Community Health since 1992, Wayside Hospice has a long-standing
history of service to local communities, and offers a number of special benefits to its patients:
An Experienced Hospice Team — Our staff brings years of experience to the art of caring for the terminally
ill. The communities we serve recognize us as a superior hospice provider, with special expertise
in pain management and symptom control.
Continuity of Care — The homecare/hospice care connection means
that Wayside Hospice patients enjoy the important benefit of continuity of care. The same nurse and
aide who care for a patient in the earlier stages of illness can follow this patient through the final
stages of living—working hand-in-hand with other members of the hospice team who introduce specialized
care for the entire family.
The Miriam Boyd Parlin Residence
The
Hospice Residence, located at Traditions of Wayland, provides
a local alternative to a hospital or a nursing home. When persons are unable to remain in their own
home, the Hospice Residence offers a comfortable, home-like atmosphere where patients can spend their
final days surrounded by their families and caring health professionals from Wayside Hospice.
