In a progressive move to enhance healthcare services within its community, Sage Park Austin Senior Living Community has established strategic partnerships with Tree Oaks Hospice and Summit Home Health and Hospice. This collaboration will allow Sage Park to offer General Inpatient (GIP) hospice services to its residents, ensuring they receive compassionate and effective care during their most critical times.
Hugo Mata, the Executive Director of Sage Park Austin, highlighted the significance of these partnerships by stating, "The synergy between Sage Park and the teams from Tree Oaks and Summit Home Health ensures a seamless transition from a hospital to hospice care, allowing patients and families to receive high-quality end-of-life care at home." This initiative is not only a boon for the residents but also reaffirms the community's commitment to comprehensive wellness.
The newly formed alliances will enable Sage Park to provide an array of hospice services, crucially including pain and symptom management, as well as extended nursing support. These services will be delivered in a homely atmosphere, thereby enabling patients to stay in a comfortable and familiar environment as they navigate through their healthcare journey.
