“Schofield is pleased that our partnership with Hospice Buffalo will provide a dedicated area for the comfort and care we will mutually provide,” said Edward Gray, president of Schofield Residence, a not for profit organization which began in 1910.
Rooms within Serenity at Schofield are uniquely designed to provide a nurturing, homelike environment for both patients and their families to enjoy.
“All Americans deserve quality care at the end of life – it's a fundamental part of living,”said Patricia Ahern, CEO of The Center for Hospice & Palliative Care. “We are honored to build upon our partnership with Schofield Residence, an organization of excellence that we have worked with for twenty-one years. Serenity at Schofield will allow patients in the advanced stages of illness to remain in familiar and supportive surroundings while receiving palliative (comfort-focused) care. Hospice Buffalo’s multidisciplinary team will work directly with Schofield’s team to provide additional medical care, emotional support, and guidance to patients and their families during this distressing time.”
Hospice care is focused on providing comfort and dignity to any person with an illness whose life expectancy is measured in months, rather than years. Clinical studies show hospice patients often live longer than those who do not receive hospice care. The Hospice team of physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, medical social workers, and pastoral care chaplains are available around the clock to provide urgent visits as well as support. In addition, music and massage therapists, certified nursing assistants and trained hospice volunteers can provide important one to one support to enhance the well being of the resident with serious illness.
Serenity at Schofield features warm colors and new furniture with cozy recliners as well as a private family dining room, sunny atrium, and library.
Serenity at Schofield is the fourth dedicated Hospice unit in Erie County. Hospice Buffalo serves more than 500 patients a day in homes, hospitals, and home-like settings. It is the only licensed hospice program in Erie County and is certified by Medicare.
