Comprehensive services are provided to address the needs of our patients, caregivers, and families, in their homes or place of residence regardless of race, age, color, creed, religion, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, disability, diagnosis, marital status, resuscitation status, availability of a primary caregiver, or ability to pay. Hospice believes that no individual receiving services should feel isolated or alone and that our presence will make a difference to every patient, caregiver, and family we meet.
Hospice is a philosophy and a concept, not a specific place of care. Hospice care is for any person who has terminal illness or when curative treatment is no longer effective.
Our mission is to bring love, joy, and peace into the home of those suffering from a tenninal illness. We will help our Patients and their Families cherish the goodness of everyday and appreciate the memories of the past. Through our quality of care and compassion, the hospice team’s “Love in Action” approach will alleviate the suffering and pain of those midsts of loss and vulnerability.
Anyone can request Hospice services with a physician’s order and verification that there is an illness with a life-limiting prognosis. Care is available for patients with a prognosis of six months or less, such as patients with Terminal Cancer, end-stage Heart Disease, ALS, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Renal Failure, AIDS and Dementia. Patients do not need to be homebound in order to receive Hospice Care.
