The Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation
Telehospice Program
An extension of our home care program, Angela Hospice’s telehospice program allows patients and caregivers reach to a hospice nurse 24/7 through Angela’s Virtual Assist (AVA).
Patients and families can call anytime for direct access to an Angela Hospice nurse. Mobile phone and tablet users can even connect face-to-face via video chat so our nurses can see what you’re seeing and better assist you.
AVA does not replace traditional home care visits, but rather supports and enhances home hospice care, ensuring that patient and caregiver needs are addressed in the most caring, effective, and efficient way possible.
AVA’s benefits include:
- Peace of mind– knowing a nurse is always just a call or click away
- Reduced wait time – a nurse can be ready to help in an instant; no waiting for travel time
- Ease of communication– giving you secure options to show what is happening in real time
- Better symptom management– symptoms can be managed more effectively and efficiently, for increased patient comfort
- Decreased anxiety– using AVA is like having a nurse by your side, always ready to help
