Our Inpatient Unit: The Butterfly Wing
In November of 2005, Hospice of Baton Rouge opened the
doors of the first inpatient unit in the Baton Rouge area, the Butterfly Wing. The Butterfly Wing is an eight-bed facility housed at 4250 Essen Lane that provides short-term supervised care for patients with acute needs.
Patients are eligible for the General Inpatient Level of Care when round-the- clock care is necessary to manage pain and control symptoms or treatments for a patient's needs cannot be reasonably provided at home. The Butterfly Wing provides the same full range of medical, emotional, social and spiritual services our home care patients receive, in a setting that permits more intensive monitoring. As Kathryn Grigsby, our CEO stated; “What’s new and wonderful is that we can care for them in our own place. The patients don’t have to go to a hospital. The Butterfly Wing creates a warm, welcoming place that is a home away from home.” |

| To help patients and their families feel more at home, the Butterfly Wing offers: |
- Cozy, spacious rooms that include a hospital bed, pull-out sleeper chair, telephone and cable television.
- A cheerful family room with television and sitting area to relax and visit.
- A chapel for spiritual comfort.
- A registered dietician who supervises menu preparation. Our kitchen is also stocked with snacks for our patients.
- Open visiting hours, so loved ones and supervised pets may visit at any time.
- Peaceful surroundings that include quiet gardens and covered walkways.
