What is Hospice?

Hospice is compassionate and supportive care for patients and their families facing an end-of-life crises due to a terminal illness. Hospice can be delivered in a number of places – the patient’s home, a skilled nurse facility, an assisted living facility, or a hospital.
Hospice teams can treat the patient, and not the disease, through a personalized plan of care designed to meet the specific needs of the patient and their family. When their plan and symptoms are managed, a hospice patient can then focus on the important thing – living a full life.

Why Choose Hospice?

Hospice care is delivered by a skilled team of health care professionals. Our hospice team partners with the patient and their family to create a plan of care that best suits their needs and desires. The patient always has a voice in the direction of their care.

Who Benefits From Hospice?

The person who receives hospice, family, friends and loved
ones of the individual all benefit from hospice care.
