The information within this guide provides a better understanding of the care we offer at Shoreline Hospice Care, and how we can assist your family and loved ones during this difficult time.

What Is Hospice Care?
Hospice provides specific support to individuals suffering from terminal illnesses in the later stages of the disease. Hospice, unlike most other healthcare services, no longer pursues finding a cure for the disease but rather focuses on ensuring comfort and well-being to allow an individual to experience the maximum amount of quality during their remaining days.
Many people believe that using hospice means “giving up.” While some people may interpret the use of hospice as “giving up”, the real intent of hospice is to provide individuals with the ability to “live” – to live in a “dignified” way without experiencing pain.
Hospice provides individuals and families with a way to be cared for at home, where individuals feel the most secure and have access to the best supportive environment.
Hospice helps people with illnesses like:
- 🗸 Advanced cancer
- 🗸 Heart failure
- 🗸 Lung disease
- 🗸 Kidney failure
- 🗸 Alzheimer’s or dementia.
