Hospice Care

Treatment for terminally ill patients and families.

Hospice is a program that offers care for patients with an estimated life expectancy of six months or less who are no longer receiving cure-oriented treatments. The hospice team prioritizes comfort and quality of life by providing supportive care to the patient and caregivers.

Hospice is a philosophy of care that provides specialized health services for people nearing the end of life. If you have a terminal illness or have decided not to pursue further aggressive care and want to focus on comfort and quality of life, hospice care may be right for you. Hospice provides symptom management with a focus on dignity, as well as support services for you and your family. Both inpatient hospice care and home hospice care programs are available.

We approach hospice care with the goal of keeping you in your home as much as possible, with a team of professionals that will provide support where you are most comfortable.

Hospice care is often helpful for those:

  • With a life-limiting or terminal illness
  • Who no longer respond to or seek aggressive treatment or therapies
  • Who want symptom management to provide comfort & quality of life, also known as palliative care
  • Who need help with pain management

We offer our compassionate hospice care services for you while also keeping the entire family closely involved in the process. There are many different options for hospice care, and we focus on creating a unique hospice plan for you and your loved ones.
