Heartland Hospice provides care wherever you call home: in your house, a skilled nursing center, an assisted living facility or independent living facility. Our caregivers help create individualized care plans, set personal goals, and manage pain and symptoms. Every patient is different. With different challenges, different needs, different family and friends. So the care we give each patient is different.
We believe wholeheartedly in the power of the individual, the importance of relationships and the value of respect and dignity to everyone at every stage of life. Our goal is to create a positive difference every day, to make a personal connection and to create memorable moments that will enrich your life.
For more than 20 years, Medical Pain Management Services, Ltd. (MPMS) has been helping individuals living with chronic pain take back control of their lives. Dealing with acute pain on a regular basis can make the simplest daily tasks an agonizing struggle. Our top priority for every patient is to ensure their return to function – meaning a method of treatment that will allow you to resume tasks in your everyday life with as little pain as possible.
MPMS never uses a “one-size-fits-all” approach to treat a patient’s pain. We recognize that every person has different preferences, needs and lifestyles that require attention to detail when establishing a program for treatment of pain. Whether it is methods using medication or a more holistic approach, we value each patient’s unique situation and adjust our treatments accordingly.
