What is Hospice Care?

Hospice care prioritizes the comfort and well-being of individuals at the end of their life. Our compassionate hospice team offers round-the-clock management of symptoms such as pain, and emotional and spiritual support to patients and their loved ones.

Hospice services include nursing care for symptom management, practical assistance, and support for the patient and their family. At-home care can be a challenge, but our team provides timely support to help families make the most of their time together.

Hospice care offers a range of services, including access to home medical equipment and personal supplies, management of symptoms, personal care and light homemaking support from hospice aides, social services, spiritual care, and access to physical, occupational, dietary, and speech therapies. Patients and their families are also supported by volunteers, who provide friendship and companionship. In addition, hospice provides short-term inpatient respite care, relief for family caregivers, ongoing grief counseling for the patient and their loved ones.

Hospice services are carried out by a team of healthcare professionals who work together to ensure a dignified end-of-life experience for the patient. The aim of hospice is to offer a caring and supportive environment to help patients and their families through this difficult time.
