SEASONS HOSPICE OPENS NEW HOSPICE INPATIENT CENTER AT MEMORIAL HOSPITAL PEMBROKE

New unit offers uniquely comfortable setting for patients and families


Pembroke Pines, FL, April 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Seasons Hospice & Palliative Care is proud to announce the opening of our new inpatient center on the 2nd floor of Memorial Hospital Pembroke at 7800 Sheridan Street in Pembroke Pines, Florida. This new inpatient care center is designed to offer a calm and comforting environment for hospice patients who have acute needs.

Hospice care is typically provided in the comfort of the patient’s home or place of residence. However, in some cases, pain or symptoms cannot be adequately managed in the home setting. In these cases, the patient may benefit from a short-term stay at the Seasons Hospice Inpatient Center where our expert teams can help provide advanced care to ease acute symptoms.

The new inpatient center offers a uniquely serene and comfortable environment where families can visit with their loved ones while Seasons helps to bring their symptoms and pain under control. The center features twelve private rooms, each furnished and newly renovated with comfortable décor and amenities. The unit is open to families 24/7 so that they may spend time with their loved one. Additionally, to truly serve the community, we have staff that speak English, Spanish, and Creole.

“Seasons considered the comfort of both our patients and their families to be of the utmost importance when opening our newest Broward County unit,” said Elizabeth Vives, Executive Director of Seasons Hospice & Palliative Care of Broward. “Our goal was to have the center feel as much like ‘home’ as possible for our patients and their families.”

Seasons is proud to enter this community partnership with Memorial Hospital Pembroke, as there is a great need for inpatient hospice care in the greater Broward area.

“Memorial Healthcare System is committed to providing exceptional patient and family-centered care. Having an inpatient hospice service at Memorial Hospital Pembroke allows patients in the South Florida area and beyond to have access to expert care for their loved ones,” said Mark Doyle, Administrator and CEO of Memorial Hospital Pembroke. “We are excited to partner with Seasons Hospice to bring our community more options for hospice care.”

The inpatient center will officially start taking patients on April 25th, 2019.

  • Spiritual care programs to meet the needs of patients and loved ones.
  • Namaste Care, which improves quality of life through activities that stimulate the senses, promote relaxation, and offer comfort and serenity.
  • Board Certified Music Therapists that harness the power of music to reduce anxiety and pain while connecting people to some of their happiest memories.
