Anchor of Love Hospice

Skilled Nursing (RN & LVN)

Registered and licensed vocational nurses who visit regularly, monitor symptoms, and are the constant point of contact for the family.

Skilled Nursing (RN & LVN)

Nursing is the backbone of hospice. Our registered nurses and licensed vocational nurses visit on a schedule set by the plan of care, and more often when something changes.

The nurse is usually the person a family comes to know best — the one who explains what is happening, what to expect next, and what to do about it.

What this includes

  • Scheduled home visits and ongoing assessment
  • Monitoring pain, breathing, appetite, skin and alertness
  • Wound care and treatments related to the diagnosis
  • Administering and adjusting comfort medications
  • Teaching family members what to watch for between visits
