PATIENT REVENUE FOR NIAGARA HOSPICE (NH)IS EARNED BASED ON PATIENTS SERVICES PROVIDED AND THEN REIMBURSED BY INSURANCES. THERE ARE A FEW TYPES OF PATIENT SERVICE FEES, WHICH ARE EXPLAINED BELOW. PATIENTS RECEIVE VARIOUS TYPES OF SERVICES, IN WHICH THE LARGEST REVENUE TYPES INCLUDE HOMECARE ROUTINE, NURSING HOME REIMBURSEMENT AND IN-PATIENT GENERAL. HOMECARE ROUTINE CONSISTS OF THE BASIC IN-HOME VISISTS TO THE PATIENTS OWN HOME AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK TO DO VARIOUS CARE-TAKING SERVICES (IE. BATHS, LAUNDRY, VISITING). THE NURSING HOME REIMBURSEMENT REVENUE IS FROM THE HOSPICE PATIENTS THAT ARE IN NURSING HOMES, IN WHICH THE NURSING HOMES BILL NIAGARA HOSPICE AND NH, IN TURN, BILLS THE INSURANCES FOR REIMBURSEMENT. INPATIENT GENERAL CONSISTS OF PATIENTS IN THE VARIOUS HOSPITALS, IN WHICH THE HOSPITALS BILL NH AND NH SEEKS REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE INSURANCES. THE CONTINUOUS CARE PROGRAM PROVIDES "EXTENDED CARE" VERSUS THE REGULAR HOME HEALTH AIDES. THIS EXTENDED CARE IS BILLED AT A HIGHER RATE DUE TO THE INCREASED AMOUNT OF TIME THE LPNS. THIS SERVICE REQUIRES AT LEAST 12 HOURS OF TIME WITH A REGISTERED NURSE.
ALTHOUGH HOSPICE CARE WILL ALWAYS BE PRIMARILY PROVIDED IN A PATIENT'S OR CAREGIVER'S HOME, THERE ARE SOME INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT HAVE A HOME ENVIRONMENT APPROPRIATE FOR HOSPICE CARE, OR LACK THE FAMILY OR FRIENDS NECESSARY TO PROVIDE 24/7 CARE IN A HOME ENVIRONMENT. ADDITIONALLY, SOME HOSPICE PATIENTS NEED AROUND-THE-CLOCK MEDICAL ATTENTION DURING MEDICATION ADJUSTMENTS OR FOR SYMPTOM MANAGEMENT. IN RESPONSE TO THESE NEEDS, NIAGARA HOSPICE HOUSE WAS BUILT.NIAGARA HOSPICE HOUSE IS NIAGARA COUNTY'S ONLY RESIDENTIAL HOSPICE HOUSE, PROVIDING SERVICES TO PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES WHO ARE NOT ABLE TO RECEIVE HOME HOSPICE CARE.

THE IN-PATIENT WING HAS TEN SUITES DESIGNED FOR PATIENTS NEEDING SHORT-TERM MEDICAL MONITORING AND SYMPTOM MANAGEMENT.EACH SUITE IS DESIGNED WITH PATIENT AND FAMILY IN MIND WITH A SITTING AREA AND EASY-CHAIR SLEEPER.
