Hospice is a compassionate, patient-centered approach focused on maintaining dignity, increasing quality of life, and providing comfort. Hospice is not a place; it’s a philosophy of care that enhances life as it nears its end. Our teams of caregivers consist of registered nurses, physicians, home healthcare aides, social workers, chaplains, bereavement counselors and trained volunteers. They provide palliative care to ease pain and discomforting symptoms of patients living at home or in nursing homes. In addition, they provide psycho-social and spiritual support for both patients and their loved ones.
