Our RNs are experienced with continuous subcutaneous infusions via CADD pumps (morphine, hydromorphone, methadone, fentanyl), breakthrough dose administration, site rotation, and waste documentation.

Yes. Many families activate 24/7 care in the last 1-2 weeks of life so a nurse is always present — handling symptom management, repositioning, oral care, and supporting the family. This is one of the most common services we provide in palliative care.
