Our experienced travel hospice nurses serve families across various locations, delivering the same high-quality care we’re known for at home, in residential care communities, or in remote areas. Whether you’re in the heart of the city or in a surrounding rural community, Advent Hospice Care is committed to meeting you where you need us most.

What Is a Hospice Travel Nurse?

A hospice travel nurse is a licensed and experienced registered nurse (RN) who travels to deliver hospice care directly to patients in their homes or care facilities. These nurses are specially trained in pain and symptom management, end-of-life care, emotional support, and care coordination—ensuring every patient receives dignified and personalized attention.

Unlike traditional hospice nurses who may be limited to a specific local region, our travel hospice nurses extend the reach of care to ensure that no patient is left without the comfort and support they deserve, even in underserved or geographically dispersed areas.

When Are Travel Hospice Nurse Services Needed?

Advent’s hospice travel nurse services are ideal for patients and families who:

• Live in remote or rural areas where local hospice services may be limited
• Temporarily relocate and need continuous hospice care without interruption
• Are in facilities or homes without on-site medical professionals
• Prefer continuity of care from one dedicated nurse across different care settings

By offering flexible and mobile care options, our travel hospice nurses eliminate barriers and provide consistent, high-quality support, regardless of location.

What Our Hospice Travel Nurse Services Include

Our hospice travel nurses are fully equipped to provide the full scope of hospice care, including:

1. Pain & Symptom Management

Our nurses specialize in managing physical discomfort related to terminal illnesses, including pain, shortness of breath, nausea, fatigue, and anxiety. Medications and treatment plans are adjusted to maximize comfort.

2. Ongoing Patient Assessments

The nurse conducts routine visits and health assessments to monitor a patient’s changing condition. This allows for responsive and personalized care every step of the way.

3. Emotional & Psychosocial Support

In addition to clinical care, our travel nurses offer a compassionate presence for both patients and their loved ones—providing comfort, listening, and emotional guidance through difficult times.

4. Family & Caregiver Education

Our hospice travel nurses educate families on how to support their loved ones between visits, use equipment properly, administer medications, and know when to call for help.

5. Coordination with Medical Teams

They work hand-in-hand with your primary doctors, hospice physicians, and other care providers to ensure every aspect of the care plan is followed and optimized.
