Hospice
Hospice is a program designed to provide comfort and support to patients and their families when a life-limiting illness no longer responds to cure oriented treatments. Provided by staff and volunteers, hospice offers specialized medical care, addressing all symptoms of a disease with emphasis on controlling a patient's pain and discomfort.
Hospice does not prolong life nor hasten death. The social, spirtual and emotional impact of the disease on the patient's family and friends is dealt with. Bereavement and counseling services are offered to families before and after the death of a patient.

VA Contracts
Recognizing the growing need for Long Term Care for Veterans, the Veterans Administration has set up a variety of community-based solutions to ease the demand. One of these solutions is to form contracts with local nursing homes to provide for these Long Term Care needs when a Veteran's
home is too far from established Veteran Facilities. By using community based services, Veterans can remain in their own communities near their friends and families.
The President/CEO and owner of Pyramid HealthCare is a Veteran and is proud to offer this service for fellow Veterans.
The following Pyramid HealthCare facilities have VA contracts:
Hillsboro , Itasca , Stephenville , Whitney

Wander Guard
The main purpose of the Wander Guard System is to protect and guard residents. Wander Guard improves the quality of life for the residents by granting them the maximum possible freedom of movement without compromising their safety.
Residents who are still very mobile and at risk of wandering out of the facility alone, but who would not be safe if they did so, wear a lightweight signaling device on their wrist or ankle. The device is a small bracelet lighter than a wrist watch. Whenever one of the residents protected by Wander Guard is about to leave the facility, the staff is notified by an audible sound and thus able to assist the person. The system's audible alarm can only be cancelled at the door where the resident is attempting to leave unaccompanied.
The benefit of using the Wander Guard System is to encourage the staff to concentrate on the individual needs of all residents, without making any of them feel constantly monitored, and without turning the facility into a secluded area.

Wound Care
Chronic wounds and slow healing ulcers are a significant health problem in the United States. Wounds can be caused by a disease process, trauma, or pressure. Screening to find those residents who are at high risk for wounds is the first step for preventive measures. Routine head-to-toe assessments assist the clinical team in prevention and promote healing.
Residents' physicians and treatment nurses, along with the other clinicians on the multidisciplinary team work with the resident and their families on a treatment plan. All Pyramid HealthCare homes offer Wound Care Services.
