What is Hospice?

Hospice is a philosophy of care that delivers care to patients and their families with a prognosis of six (6) months or less. Hospice seeks to enable patients to continue an alert, pain-free life and to manage other symptoms so that their remaining time may be spent with dignity and quality, surrounded by those closest to them. Hospice enters this relationship with an experienced, compassionate group of physicians, nurses, counselors, social workers, home health aides, clergy members and volunteers to care for this deserving unit of care. Hospice care treats the patient and his or her caregivers rather than the disease, emphasizing the quality rather than the length of life. Care is provided for the patient and family twenty-four (24) hours a day, 7 days a week, and can be given in the patient's home, nursing home, personal care home or hospice facility.

"Your staff is outstanding as pain management was critical to my mother's comfort. My family's situation was not typical due to my congregation's resources and my ability to be with my mom almost every weekend for nearly two years – the process of grief was peaceful. We truly celebrated her life and spirit at the wake and liturgy. Yes, there was a sadness that was felt but I believe our faith was strong. It is almost one month since this beautiful woman died and I still feel so much peace – no regrets – can't ask for much more – Blessings on your ministry."
"My sons and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You are the best!"
