The new 10,000 square-foot addition has essentially doubled the footprint of Talbot Hospice’s facility and includes six new patient rooms with smart bed technology for optimum comfort and safety. Each bed connects to a nurse call system which includes a bed exit monitoring system, patient positioning system and an integrated scale. The nurse call system will monitor, track and report over 30 individual patient data items. The facility has also added two caregiver stations and a fully commercial kitchen, a private family area, recliner chairs, pull-out sofas, speaker docs for therapeutic music, and a designated space for Talbot Hospice’s chaplain. The adjoining renovated Clark-Guthrie Center offers a bereavement center, a large meeting/training room, office space for Talbot Hospice medical staff, storage space, green space and additional parking.
