Nurses, social workers, home health aides, volunteers, bereavement counselors, chaplains, hospice physicians and management of Longwood Hospice provide a dynamic, holistic interdisciplinary team to serve the patient, family, caregiver and significant other which is recognized as the unit of care." The Longwood Hospice team will continuously strive to meet and exceed the unique and very individualized spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of the "patient/unit of care" during the dying process, continuing through the bereavement (thirteen months) period that follows the death of the patient.
