Our Mission

Compassion, Peace and Dignity

It is our mission to support families and their loved ones with compassion, peace, and dignity. Home and in patient hospice care allows for patients to receive care they desire, in an environment most comfortable to them.

 


Comfort Versus Curative

Our team aims to give the highest quality of life to you and your loved one during final portion of their time. With a prognosis of six months or less, managing symptoms and pain can improve one’s quality of life.

A Doctor’s Referral is Not Necessary

Hospice care is available to anyone and everyone who is considering it without a doctor’s referral. A patient is able to be referred by a hospital, clergy, family, friend or other home care agency and will be admitted under a physician’s direction. You can use our online hospice referral as well.
