Empowering families to provide the best hospice care and experience to their loved ones

“In hospice, we don’t get do-overs; we have to get things right every single time, for every single family; and this is how we do things at SilverStone Hospice.” - Gloria Flack, MSN, RN, SilverStone Administrator.

With a philosophy like this, it is not surprising that SilverStone Hospice is a trusted name in the field of Hospice care in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

Care for a terminally ill patient does not consist of just medication. In fact, in most terminally ill patients, medication is given to alleviate the symptoms rather than to cure the disease or illness because it is beyond the scope of medicine to provide a cure. At this stage, most patients and their families lose hope and fall into despair. Often, the pain and fear of death and separation from loved ones get overwhelming for families. Both patients and their loved ones find it hard to accept the harsh reality of death - and land up grieving even before the inevitable occurs - losing precious time with their loved ones. But, SilverStone Hospice empowers families to provide the best hospice care for their terminally ill loved ones, hence enhancing their quality of life.

What is Hospice care?

Hospice care ensures that terminally ill patients do not suffer due to their symptoms. When medicines no longer work in curing or even arresting the progress of the disease, or a patient does not wish to pursue curative treatments, doctors advise hospice care. Hospice ensures that the symptoms a patient experiences get managed and that a patient receives the care they need. The philosophy of hospice is acceptance of death as the ultimate phase, and affirmation of life, without delaying or quickening it. Hospice care is about helping individuals spend the final stages of their life with dignity. It also includes spending quality time with loved ones and family - enabling them to come to terms with the end of life with acceptance and peace. 

Features of Hospice Care

• Most often suggested by the doctor when a patient is terminally ill and has six months or less to live. However, it is the choice of the patient and the family since it is a family-centric program.
• While a physician, 24-hour-on-call nurse, and medical equipment and supplies are part of hospice care, the purpose is pain management, relief from symptoms for the patient, and mental health and wellness.
• Routine in-home care with weekly nurse visits provides respite for caregiver relief and crisis care.
• SilverStone Hospice provides a custom care hospice in Dallas, TX, incorporating their Volunteer Program, We Honor Veterans Program, and No One Dies Alone Program. 

Why SilverStone Hospice?

One of the critical aspects of hospice care is the emotional support provided to the patient and the family. The last few months of a terminally ill person are full of pain and sadness. The hospice manages symptoms and the emotional, religious, and spiritual needs at this time. SilverStone is the best hospice care in Dallas, TX, because they believe in “doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do.” They are there for support - physical, emotional, and spiritual - in the last stages of an individual’s life, and after the individual passes on, to the family. They hold the hands of the bereaved family after the passing of their loved one and take them through the different stages of acceptance for more than a year. Their team of compassionate, proactive, and attentive care providersprovides the highest quality of companionship, care, and service with selflessness and respect.
