"You matter to the last moment of your life and we will do all we can ... to help you live until you die." - Dr. Cicely Saunders

What is Hospice?

Hospice is a special kind of care for people and families living with a life threatening illness.

Hospice care is focused on comfort rather than cure. Hospice provides physical, psychological, social and spiritual care to patients and their families.

Hospice homecare is provided on a part time, intermittent, regularly scheduled basis. Also a nurse and physician are available on call 24 hours/day, 7 days/week to provide advice and support and make visits as necessary.

Admission to a Hospice program is based on patient and family need and consent.
