YOUR CARE TEAM
Once you are admitted to Four Seasons hospice care service, you are assigned a Four Seasons Care Team. Your Care Team meets, at a minimum, every fifteen days to update one another and collaborate regarding your care. Your Care Team typically consists of the following members and is flexible based on your needs and preferences for care. The services offered by your Four Seasons Care Team are based on your specific goals, your questions, and your concerns. Your Care Team respects your privacy, personal choices, cultural and/or religious customs, family traditions, gender identity, and sexual orientation.
