From Hospital to Home: How Affinity Hospice Supported a Westlake Village Family
A Westlake Village family had been in and out of the hospital with their father for months due to advanced heart disease. Each discharge brought hope — and each readmission brought emotional exhaustion.
When Repeated Hospital Visits Became Too Much
After the most recent hospitalization, doctors explained that curative treatments were no longer improving his quality of life. The family wanted something different: comfort, peace, and the ability for him to remain at home.
They were referred to Affinity Hospice to explore hospice care in Westlake Village.
A Smooth Transition From Hospital to Home
One of the family’s biggest concerns was how quickly care could begin after discharge.
Affinity Hospice coordinated directly with hospital staff to ensure a seamless transition. Upon arrival home in Westlake Village:
- A registered nurse performed an immediate assessment
- Medical equipment was delivered and set up the same day
- Medications were arranged through hospice pharmacy services
- A licensed hospice physician reviewed and approved the care plan
The family felt reassured knowing a full interdisciplinary team was overseeing every detail.
Bringing Skilled Medical Care Into the Home
Hospice care does not mean the absence of medical support — it means the right kind of medical support.
In Westlake Village, Affinity Hospice provided:
- Scheduled nurse visits and rapid deployment when urgent needs arose
- Full staff of licensed hospice physicians
- On-call availability 24/7
- Ongoing symptom management to control shortness of breath and discomfort
Instead of returning to the emergency room, the family had immediate access to professional support at home whenever they needed help.
Providing Medications, Supplies, and Peace of Mind
Managing heart disease symptoms required careful medication adjustments.
Affinity Hospice handled:
- Delivery of medications directly to the Westlake Village residence
- Coordination with pharmacy services
- Provision of necessary medical supplies
- Oxygen equipment and comfort-focused support tools
The family no longer needed to track prescriptions or worry about running out of supplies. Everything was coordinated under one hospice care plan.
