Hospice

Hospice is a special kind of care designed to provide compassionate support to people and their families who are living with terminal illness.

Hospice Focuses On:

• Emotional, spiritual and physical well being of patients
• Recognizing that family members need support during a loved one’s illness
• Living life to the fullest in a pain free, familiar environment: their home (which could also include an assisted living facility or a family member’s home)

When is Hospice Care the Answer?

When a patient’s illness no longer responds to aggressive treatment and the focus is shifted to providing comfort through end of life.
