Elder Medical Care
The Lifecare Institute Elder Care Program
Our program is for individuals with serious illness who need coordinated care and guidance. Older individuals living with serious illnesses often find themselves in an unending cycle of health crises that lead from home to the hospital to rehabilitation and back home again. Our team of physicians, nurse practitioners and social workers are experts in providing coordinated geriatric and comfort care, and guidance to improve quality of life. We care for individuals and families throughout Anne Arundel County and Prince George's County, Maryland. We help ensure that those who often “fall through the cracks” of the health care system—those who have difficulty traveling to office appointments and for whom treatment is becoming less effective—receive the care and attention they need when and where they need it.
Why Choose The Lifecare Institute?Hospice is a unique philosophy of care centered around enhancing quality of life for people with a life-limiting illness, while also providing support to caregivers and loved ones. It can be provided in any setting, including a private home or residential care center. The Lifecare Institute Hospice Care provides medical and nursing care, social work support, home health care, spiritual care and volunteer assistance.
