What is Hospice Care?
The focus of hospice is on assisting those with an incurable ailment, and supporting them in finding peace of mind through medication and other forms of treatment during their end of life experience.
Our goal is to ensure that the individual can live the highest quality of life possible until their last days. Additionally, it provides support to ensure people know they have lived their lives fully with dignity.
Hospice does not mean to give up; it allows those who choose to use it the opportunity to focus on improving the patient’s comfort and quality of life. Individuals diagnosed with a terminal illness may benefit from the hospice program.
