Gulfside Healthcare Services

Three Service Lines Providing a Continuum of Care

Gulfside Healthcare Services has served Tampa Bay since 1989. Originally providing hospice services to Pasco County residents, GHS has expanded over the years to include Gulfside Home Health, Gulfside Palliative Care, as well as Gulfside Hospice.

These three lines of service provide a continuum of care that allows patients to access the right care at the right time. 

• Gulfside Hospice

  

  At Gulfside, our mission is to provide patients with the greatest comfort and peace of mind at the end of life.

  Offering comfort and care

  Gulfside takes an interdisciplinary approach to giving both patients and their families the best possible quality of life, for as long as life lasts. Our entire team provides both emotional and spiritual support to bring our patients internal peace and comfort, in addition to our excellent medical care.

  Providing practical support

  Interdisciplinary support and service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including medical staff on call around the clock. Gulfside Hospice also has resources to help with legal and financial services involving end-of-life care.

  Relieving pain and discomfort

  Gulfside staff's expertise is palliative care, more commonly known as comfort care. We provide medication, quality medical treatments and soothing alternative therapies, such as massage and music, to help relieve physical pain.

• Gulfside Palliative Care

  

  There are many benefits of palliative care for both patients and their families, including:

  Pain & Symptom Management

  Our expert team identifies and helps relieve your sources of pain and discomfort that stem from your diagnosed chronic illness. These may include problems with breathing, fatigue, depression, bowel/bladder or insomnia.

  Communication & Coordination

  Members of the Gulfside Palliative Care team are focused on clear channels of communication. We put great importance on communication between you, your family and all of your doctors in order to ensure that your needs are fully met. This includes establishing goals for care, help with decision making, and coordination of care.

  Family & Caregiver Support

  Caregivers bear a great deal of stress too, so the Gulfside Palliative Care team supports them as well. This focused attention helps ease some of the strain and can help with your decision making.

• Gulfside Home Health

  

  Skilled home health services provide quality care, independence and assistance for the caregiver.

  Quality Skilled Care & Rehab Services

  Get back to doing the things you love with the help of our team and skilled home health services. Our hands-on approach allows you to strengthen and recover so that you can keep moving and live life fully.

  Maintaining Independence

  Our team understands that keeping a level of independence is important to you, so we'll work with you to help you learn new ways to keep that independence. We can help you improve quality of life so that you are able to maintain independence and stay where you are most comfortable: home.

  Caregiver Solutions

  Caring for someone as they work through the journey of rehab services and skilled nursing care can bring on its own set of challenges. Our team knows that, and will work with the caregiver alongside the patient to find solutions that fit your lifestyle.
