Through our We Honor Veterans program, we offer a Vet-to-Vet Volunteer Program to match hospice volunteers who are veterans with patients who are also veterans. Through a variety of music experiences, our Music Therapy Program provides support to patients, family members, and loved ones, helping to reduce stress, improve relaxation, and decrease physical pain and discomfort. These therapies increase comfort and provide a sense of well-being. Integrative Therapies include soothing practices such as guided imagery, gentle reflexology, mindfulness practice, reiki and aromatherapy. Support our patients and their families, as they address emotional, spiritual, and practical concerns through our Bereavement Services. Provide comfort by relieving pain and managing other complex symptoms. Honor the values and decisions of our patients. Our Serenity House team includes physicians, all of whom are board certified in hospice & palliative medicine, nurse practitioners, registered & licensed vocational nurses, home health aides, medical social workers, bereavement counselors, chaplains, pet therapists, a certified music therapist, a registered dietitian, a chef, and specially trained volunteers. Each private room allows patients to be surrounded by loved ones throughout their time with us. Patients are cared for in a tranquil and homelike setting. VNA Health is proud to offer our Serenity House as a unique option in end-of-life care for hospice patients whose needs cannot be met at home.
