Hospice Care
Veteran Owned and Operated
Hospice is a specialized type of care with a compassionate approach for those facing a life-limiting illness, as well as their families.
Hospice care treats the whole person, with a focus on improving the quality of life that remains, rather than trying to cure the disease.
The hospice concept affirms life; it does not hasten or postpone death. The goal is to manage a patient’s pain and symptoms so that they may live each day as comfortably and fully as possible.
Through a team-oriented approach, hospice provides patients with expert medical care, pain management and symptom relief. In addition, emotional, spiritual, psychosocial and practical support is provided for both patients and families with questions or concerns at the end of life. The hospice care team is available 24 hours a day, 356 days a year.
